Dreaming Of A Red Christmas

What Dwarfy goodies are available from Santa's space sack?

19 November, 2010

We know how it is - the Red Dwarf fan in your life is in a strop. They're missing out. Their DVD collection is incomplete, they're short a T-shirt or two. It's socially embarrassing. Believe us, we understand. We're embarrassed all the time.

Thankfully reddwarf.co.uk is here to bring you up to speed on all that's grabbable to fill a festive stocking...

Home Entertainment
Red Dwarf on DVD is about as good as a TV show release can get. Series I to VIII and Back to Earth are all available as two- or three-disc sets stocked to the gills with documentaries, deleted scenes, commentaries and other wondrous gubbins.

There are also Just the Shows box sets, the quick and easy way to get a huge Dwarf injection - all the episodes in bare-bones vanilla packs, covering Series I to VIII. And, if outtakes are your thing, the Smeg Ups specials are available on the separate Just the Smegs disc.

Already got the episodes? Well, consider The Bodysnatcher Collection, which includes Series I to III remastered alongside a 'lost' episode, more super documentaries, and super-rare Grant and Naylor commentaries. Or Beat the Geek, an interactive quiz hosted by Holly which pits fans against general knowledge players.

Downloads
Remember that shiny disc isn't the only way to see Red Dwarf - you can get episodes from iTunes instantly. In the UK you can also gets shows from Seesaw while American and Canadian viewers can check out Netflix.

Also available from iTunes are the Radio Shows, Red Dwarf talking books in bite-size form, voiced by Chris Barrie and laden with music and effects. Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life are also available as wholly unabridged, all-talk editions from Audible.

Plus there are two iPhone/iPod touch apps: The Dibblifier and The Red Dwarf Soundboard.

Other Cool Stuff
Four T-shirts are currently available: Lister 'Let's Get Out There and Twat it', Ace Rimmer 'Smoke Me a Kipper', Kryten 'Space Corps Directive 34124' (it's a rude one) and a 'Smeg Head' logo.

There are 'Red Dwarf' and 'Jupiter Mining Corporation' mugs and keyrings, and an In Your Pocket Red Dwarf talking keyring gadget. Not to mention logo dog tags and a pewter Starbug belt buckle.

Seriously, how humiliating would it be to have a deficient DVD rack?
