DVD Launch Event

Red Dwarf cast gather for the release of Series VIII.

17 March, 2006

Not since the Series II release have we had a full-on public launch event for a DVD, so it's great to discover that 2 entertain have organised a gathering for Series VIII's release on March 27th!

Already confirmed to appear are Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Chloë Annett. (Confirmation is still awaited from Craig Charles, dependent on Corrie commitments.) It's the first day Series VIII will be on the shelves, available in both the regular format or as part of the skutter gift box, and there's also a rather special addition to proceedings...

The place is HMV, 150 Oxford Street, London, the time is 12.30pm 'til 2.00pm. And aside from the chance to get your brand-new DVD signed, you could be in with a chance of winning a genuine Series VIII costume!

The 'Red Dwarf crew member' costume is being given away as part of an in-store competition on the day. Everyone who buys the DVD gets a numbered wristband. This wristband then allows them to join the signing event, and - before the signing takes place - will also act as a raffle ticket for the draw.^*

So get in early to pick up your DVD! If you were planning to get away for your lunch break, or just looking for an excuse to skive a day, this is what you've been waiting for! Get your hands on the DVD, get it signed by the cast, then get it home and watch 12 hours of Dwarfy greatness! Possibly while wearing a genuine crew costume...

* Due to the anticipated huge demand to meet the cast, the signing session will be restricted to fans with official wristbands. These will be available only with purchase of the 'Red Dwarf Series VIII' DVD from the store on the day of the event. The wristbands will be restricted to one per person and available on a 'first come, first served' basis.
