- The Fans Guide To Red Dwarf
- -----------------------------
-
- By Sigma Alpha
-
- *Some Information taken From The RedDwarf Faq by Patrick M.*
-
-
-
- After I joined the FidoNet SMEG echo, I noticed just how much of a
- following Red Dwarf or the 'Crimson Short one' as Rimmer Would say *8-)
- has. I have every episode on tape I loose count of the amount of times I
- have watched them.
-
- Anyway I thought I would bring forward some questions brought up in the
- echo and some other general RD stuff I think all fans would like to know.
-
- A common question asked about Red Dwarf Is what are the actual words to
- the theme tune. So here goes :-
-
-
- It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere
- I'm all alone, more or less
- Let me fly far away from here
- Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
-
- I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose
- Drinking fresh mango juice
- Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes
- Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
- Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun
-
-
- I bet all RD fans sing along to this at the end don't ya I know I do!
-
- The latest information that I have heard is that :
-
- - Smeg Up's 2 is now ready to be released
- - A Christmas special for '96 has been made
- - Series 7 will be out in autumn '96 followed closely by series 8
-
- So there are a few things on the Red Dwarf front to look forward to in
- the next year.
-
- I cut the next bit from the red dwarf FAQ it is a guide list of all the
- episodes and when they were made.

- So if you like be collect RD on tape the you now know what episodes you
- have not got.
-
- The most interesting thing from the RD faq that I see was the fact that
- In the American version that never made it past the pilot had the cat as
- a female and she was played by Terry Farrell, who is now better known in
- the U.S. for her role as Jadzia Dax on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
-
- So if any of the lads by some chance do get to read this, Keep up the
- great work and there are loads of fans out there all waiting for more
- great episodes.
-
- If any fans out there want to write about RD then feel free, if you have
- any stories you have wrote involving them, or any of you that have meet
- them so send us a message.
