All the Extras - by Andrew Ellard

27 September, 2002

The Red Dwarf Series I DVD contains over 90 minutes of bonus material.

Wow, it looks so simple when you type it like that. This may be the best Red Dwarf release ever, but it's been a long, hard slog to get the best out of a series made well over a decade ago. Grant Naylor and BBC Worldwide have barely gone a day without a flurry of phone calls, emails and messenger bikes - but it's really been worth it. And here, in the first fully confirmed list, is the proof:

SERIES I
Cast Commentary
The End Writers and Director Commentary
Launching Red Dwarf Documentary
Deleted Scenes
Smeg Ups
Trailer
Drunk Featurette
Photo Gallery
Japanese The End Episode
Raw Effects Footage
Isolated Music Cues
Talking Book Chapters
Easter Eggs

Episode Subtitles

It's a mighty line-up, especially for a TV show - a collection like this wouldn't look out of place on a Hollywood movie. And we haven't even listed animated menus and scene selection as extras! As for the two hidden Easter Eggs... well, you'll have to find them for yourselves...

Series I is due out on November 4th in the UK and Australia, with II set for the following February. America will get both series in February. It's likely that this November/February pattern will continue for series III to VIII.

More DVD Details will follow soon...
