no not dvd extras, but actor extras. i thought i knew this show insdie out but some of these i didn't not ever would have realised.
ok you will alredy know about timothy spall and ruby wax were in timeslides but did you know of these:
sabrina mulholland jajones (also in timeslides) is played by KOO STARK
captain tau in psirens is played by ANITA DOBSON
nirvana crane in holoship is JANE HORROCKS (how did miss that one)
also, alan rickman was 1st choice for rimmer and alfred molina was considered for lister, but it was thought it might me difficult to get them back for a further series if it became successful.
hugh laurie, david baddiel and norman lovett also auditioned for lister.

One of my best friends is obsessed and I've been borrowing all the DVDs. I was really annoyed when it disappeared from terrestrial tv for a while so I stopped watching for quite a while.
But hey, great show. Smeg.

I've still got high hopes that there may be a Red Dwarf movie coming, or maybe a series 9 :D

i thought it was more
a) get back into the public eye to keep your celebrity profile up
b) to pay off a backlog of alimony

And don't forget Mark Williams as Petersen and that bloke from Eastenders as Chen in series 1...and Craig Ferguson as Confidence...I could probably go on, but I really should stop ;-)

lock stock and 2 smoking barrels connections:
the scouse guy who's mate used to be in 'bread' was lister's 'sperms-in-law', and the wonderful danny john-jules who tells the story of the guy who refuses to turn the tv over in the pub, haha! :)

arthur smith, tony hawks, clare grogan, tony slattery.
i love the arthur smith bit. it mustve been around 1990 he did the episode when he talks backwards, which is genuinely recorded forwards and reversed. and i quote:
"You are a stupid, square-headed, bald git, aren't you? I ain't pointing at you, I'm pointing at you. But I'm not actually addressing you, I'm addressing the one prat in the country who's bothered to get hold of this recording, turn it round, and actually work out the rubbish that I'm saying. What a poor, sad life he's got!"

oh yeah the cockney with the oirish accent
lol @ ball bag, i had the pleasurable experience of meeting my brother in law and his friend both from that area, both of who preceded to call each other ball bags roughly every 30 seconds
so sandi toksvig was just playing herself then?

french and saunders were considered to play lister and rimmer at some point. And in the episode 'camile' the female versions of kryten and lister were played by the real life wife of robert llewellyn and girlfriend of craig charles...
did you know the movie was planned just after season 6? they were only allowed to make it if they hired a 'sexy female crewmember to bring in the young male audience' or something. so they brought in chloe annett for 2 seasons, to give the audience enough time to get used to her. you'd think the movie would be finished by now.
