Just The Smegs

2entertain confirm classic DVD release.

24 August, 2007 (Updated 5 October, 2007)

Just when you thought this Autumn couldn't get any better, 2entertain and Grant Naylor Productions are chuffed to bits to announce the release of Red Dwarf: Just the Smegs.

This special DVD release will include The Smeg Ups (introduced by Kryten) and The Smeg Outs (introduced by Kryten, with interference by Lister). Both 50-minute outtake specials were bestsellers on VHS - and now you can get them together on one DVD.

But it doesn't stop there. Because we know what you're like - you crazy completists, you - we're also including the home video versions of the Series VII and Series VIII Smeg Ups. (As opposed to the DVD versions, which featured their own special opening titles.)

And if that weren't enough, the package will be rounded off with The Smeg Ups: Broadcast Edition. This half-hour version was created for Red Dwarf Night in 1998 and featured Kryten, Lister and Rimmer introducing outtakes from the first seven series. (Not to mention a clever introduction showing Lister falling off his cradle as he paints the ship...)

Best of all, two-and-a-half-hours of outtake hilarity will only cost you £15.99 RRP! How could footage of a cast getting things wrong and falling over get any more tempting?

STOP PRESS: Red Dwarf: Just the Smegs now has a confirmed release date of November 19th.
