Just The Smegs
The full cock-ups collection arrives on DVD.
16 November, 2007
To some they're outtakes, to others they're bloopers. In Japan they're known as 'NGs' (for 'No Good'). To many they're cock-ups - a phrase which certainly isn't as rude as it sounds (the origins, now lost, may have come from archery, beer, or even pistol-cocking - the common theme seems to be a change of angle).
To us, though, they're Smeg Ups.
Red Dwarf: Just the Smegs is out on November 19th. Two-and-a-half hours of content on one low-price DVD, and an absolute treat for Christmas. Here's the content:
Smeg Ups
50 minute special, includes outtakes from Series IV to VI, presented by Kryten.
Smeg Outs
50 minute special, includes outtakes from Series I to III, presented by Kryten and Lister.
Smeg Ups: Broadcast Edition
30 minute TV edition, shown on the 10th anniversary, presented by Kryten, Lister and Rimmer.
Series VII Smeg Ups

Series VIII Smeg Ups

It's out now. Cackle yourself silly.
As with The Bodysnatcher Collection, Just the Smegs has its very own microsite - including a Smeg Ups clip and another exclusive sofa-based interview with Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. To see for yourself, pop over to reddwarfjustthesmegs.com.
