The Story

StockID: 131232 SKU: SEP242139
Red Dwarf is virtually unique among British sitcoms. It began in 1988 and was still releasing new episodes in 2020- making it one of the longest running sitcoms of all time. Yet- this is a show which nobody wanted to make- and which only barely made it to our screens at all. Tom Salinsky looks at exactly how it came to be; who was considered for the cast but didn't make it; how it was radically reinvented for the third- sixth- seventh- ninth and tenth seasons; how it survived the breakup of its key creative partnership- the loss of the original spaceship models- BBC strikes- the departure of a major cast member- and the seemingly self-defeating rules which the writers imposed on themselves. But this isn't just a behind-the-scenes account. It's also a detailed critical analysis- examining why the best episodes succeed and why the less impressive episodes struggle.
