Dave's Dwarf Grab-Bag

A collection of odd episodes showing on a single night.

5 August, 2011

Sometimes it feels like comedy channel Dave has a pile of Red Dwarf episodes in a corner somewhere and grabs them at random. No sooner has the perfectly crafted Director's Cut night gone out then here we are with an evening of excellent, but decidedly disparate, shows.

On Sunday, August 14th from 9pm Dave are showing:

There then commences a repeat run of the episodes into the wee small hours.

We've racked our brains to come up with a connection. The first three episodes are all 'episode ones' of their respective series. The last three are all from Series VI and all feature alternate versions of main characters, either duplicates or altered personalities.

Technically all the episodes see the crew take a shuttlecraft to the surface of a habited area and then take off again. (Wow, that's tenuous.) Dave Lister's in all of them, but that just seems so obvious...

So, what do you reckon? What could link these episodes together? Let us know on the forum.
