Universe Challenge (1998)
A Red Dwarf rarity
Jeremy Paxman was never part of Universe Challenge but was actually Chris Barrie doing an impression of him! It was great to see original presenter Bamber Gasgoine back asking the questions. He was always a more likable host than Paxman anyway. It's a shame that this segment of the 10th Anniversary night has never made it onto any of the DVD releases due to copyright issues. The TV broadcast version was heavily edited to fit the 30 min slot(which you'll notice if you watch the scores) whereas the actual recording was quite a bit longer. I actually preferred this part of the evening to Can't Smeg Won't Smeg which is now available as bonus material on an official DVD release. Universe Challenge was a fun show with the cast and fans obviously enjoying themselves and a nice little piece of Red Dwarf history.
Red Dwarf: Smeg Outs (1995)
Funny Memories
Although not as funny as it's predecessor Smeg Ups the Smeg Outs video still has many laughs. This video has a special place in my heart for 2 reasons in particular. First of all I feature briefly during the fan convention segment asking Robert Llewellyn in full Kryten costume a question about Silicon Heaven. Second of all, the segments between clips which are presented by Kryten were actually filmed at the convention and I was able to sit in and watch the filming which was a real treat! Anyway, anyone this is a must have for both Red Dwarf fans or anyone who enjoys television out takes. Both the Smeg Ups and Smeg Outs are now available on DVD and definitely worth a look...
