Great to have if you have bought "Just The Shows" so far

We didn't all buy the Red Dwarf episodes in their complete, extras packed form. So if you are like me, and have just the episodes, this DVD is the perfect companion to show the very funny out-takes and continuity issues highlighted by Kryten himself.

If you have all of the DVD releases with extras, you'll find very little here that you don't own already - but the links on this DVD with Kryten are very funny in their own right.

Just the dregs...
Review date: 2007-12-01 Rating: 4 out of 10

Grant Naylor Productions have been responsible for issuing some truly superb Red Dwarf DVDs. This though, in my opinion, is not one of them. A very sizeable percentage of the content on this DVD has already been issued elsewhere and essentially the only 'new' material is the character introductions. These aren't particularly amusing and don't really make the purchase worthwhile.

First Just the Shows Vols 1 and 2, now Just the Smegs, doing exactly what it says on the tin. The Smeg Ups and Smeg Outs, 50 mins each, plus the Series 7 and 8 out takes, and the NEVER BEFORE RELEASED broadcast version which features totally different linking routines by Kryten, Rimmer and Lister. (and Lister falling off the spaceship at the start, which is wicked)

If you bought the big series releases then you already have these outtakes, so all you gain is the links and the unseen broadcast material. The out takes work better as these specially presented programmes, rather than compiled clips like on the revious DVDs.

If you've been buying Just the Shows though, then this is a geat set of funny funny outtakes, with one of the best casts on TV, and its all gravy. And check the price. It's a low-cost item, with a hefty running time (2 and a 1/2 hrs!).

Christmas prezzies here we come!!!

The Red Dwarf Smeg Ups are getting their own release, in "Just the Smegs"! BUT, this is for completists only. These outtakes were released on the series 1-8 disc sets, but differ in that they have the VHS introductions as opposed to the series-specific introductions used for the DVD, and they will also have the odd "in-between" segment featuring the cast that was not included on previous DVDs. So if you're a completist, you'll NEED to get these DVDs. I thought the series 1-8 DVDs included all the lame Kryten pieces somewhere along the line, but obviously not. Most of them but one or two were held back for this.

How many times can you watch the same outtakes? Because not only the VHS releases but the TV broadcast edit will be included. Just to make you feel sure you're getting everything. Yet there are no additional unreleased outtakes or rushes. It feels like just enough to make sure GNP line their pockets a bit more after the Bodysnatcher DVD comes out in October. Which, in case you didn't know, is a £10-15 release padded out with three series of Remastered so that you have to get four discs and pay £50!!

Coming in Spring 2008: "Just the Deleted Scenes"!
