What other Red Dwarf documents are available online? A great many, including lists of TV stations airing the show, other roles played by Red Dwarf actors, the Space Corps Directives, and a comprehensive timeline. The Guide to alt.tv.red-dwarf Documents (maintained by Annette McIntosh) lists them all, with directions for finding the latest version on the Internet. The Documents Guide is posted to alt.tv.red-dwarf every Tuesday. You can also email mcintosh@netlink.com.au and ask for a copy. _________________________________________________________________ 30. Where can I write to the cast and crew of the show? The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club will forward mail to the cast and crew. They do not open the mail if a covering letter explains what it is and asks for it to be forwarded. Robert Llewellyn has a Web page at: http://home.rednet.co.uk/homepages/kryten/. His e-mail address is kryten@online.rednet.co.uk. _________________________________________________________________ 31. Was Craig Charles arrested for rape? Yes, but he was cleared of all charges. Charles was arrested in July 1994 when his ex-girlfriend filed rape charges against him. He was tried during February and March of 1995, and acquitted due to lack of evidence. _________________________________________________________________ 32. Are there books about Red Dwarf? Numerous Red Dwarf reference works are available: The Official Red Dwarf Companion by Bruce Dessau ISBN 1-85286-456-7 Titan, 1992 This thin little book (95 pages) has a lot of wasted space, but some interesting quotes and information and some wonderful color photos throughout. If you're looking for in-depth, solid information about the show, this isn't where you'll find it; but if you want a nice, light read, a collector's item, and an attractive coffee-table book, this is it. Available in England and at conventions in the U.S. Red Dwarf Programme Guide by Chris Howarth and Steve Lyons ISBN 0-86-369682-1 Virgin, 1995 "Everything you never wanted to know about the smash smega-series." An in-depth collection (about 230 pages) of information about Series 1-6. It includes sections on History, The Characters, The Programmes, The Index, The Creators (cast and production crew), and The Spin-offs. The Index, by far the largest section of the book, is a lexicon of almost everything mentioned to during the series, from "A to Z of Red Dwarf, The" to "Zoom function". Note: This book contains an incorrect address for the Official Red Dwarf Fan Club. Red Dwarf--Primordial Soup: The Least Worst Scripts by Grant Naylor ISBN 0-14-017886-4 Penguin, 1993 This book contains the complete scripts for "Polymorph," "Marooned," "Dimension Jump," "Justice," "Back to Reality," and "Psirens." Not published in the U.S., but available from John McElroy and other distributors of imported books. Red Dwarf: Son of Soup by Grant Naylor ISBN 0-14-025363-7 Penguin, 1996 A sequel to Primordial Soup, containing scripts for "Gunmen of the Apocalypse," "Holoship," "Camille," "Backwards," "Kryten," and "Me^2," with introductions by Rob Grant. The Man in the Rubber Mask by Robert Llewellyn ISBN 0-14-023575-2 Penguin, 1994 Describes Llewellyn's involvement in Red Dwarf from the beginning of Series 3 through the filming of the American pilots. Plenty of anecdotes and stories, and lots of trivia. The section on the American pilots is especially revealing, and gives some plausible reasons why the whole project fell through. The Making of Red Dwarf by Joe Nazzaro ISBN 0-14-023206-0 Penguin, 1994 A rather slender book with lots of colour photographs. Focuses on the making of "Gunmen Of The Apocalypse". The book goes into a fair amount of detail, but nothing that couldn't have been gleaned from a half-dozen back issues of the now-defunct Smegazine. The book's main strength is the added material: some great photos, fragments of the original "Gunmen" script (mostly stage directions, but also one unfilmed scene) and storyboards used in the filming. The back of the book contains information on how you can purchase Red Dwarf paraphernalia such as t-shirts, baseball caps, and models of Starbug and Kryten. Red Dwarf Quiz Book by Nicky Hooks and Sharon Burnett ISBN 0-14-023662-7 Penguin, 1994 Red Dwarf trivia and brain-teasers. Contains questions such as "What was referred to as a small off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden?", crosswords, word searches, "who said . . .", information about the cast, and photos. After a while, though, you have to wonder about the mind of someone who can come up with questions such as "What follows the leaflet campaign?" or "What was in canister 1121?" Red Dwarf Space Corps Survival Manual by Paul Alexander ISBN 0-7493-2374-4 Mandarin, 1996 A survival guide for Space Corps officers, written by fictional Marine Colonel Mike "Mad Dog" O'Hagan (who served with the Space Corps Special Service Really Really Brave Division). Has sections on finding food and water, setting traps and snares, appointing a leader, survival psychology, first aid, and even surviving death. Includes numerous marginal notes and comments scribbled by the Lister, Rimmer, Kryten, and the Cat, a survival questionnaire filled out by each crewmember, and a flicker-book animation (of an arm being amputated) in a corner of the pages. Pictures from Series 7 appears as snapshots "taped" into the book. Quite funny, if a little fixated on cannibalism (or, as Col. O'Hagan prefers to call it, "recipe-based respect for the dead"). 112 pages. Red Dwarf Log No. 1996 by Paul Alexander ISBN 0-434-00370-0 William Heineman Ltd, 1995 A 1996 diary with a few extras. Computerised entries by the four crewmembers and Holly are scattered through the pages, along with recipes, Space Corps book excerpts, and other assorted items. Several new Space Corps Directives appear for the first time in this book. _________________________________________________________________
