Despite having been permanently camped out at Pinewood Studios since August, Alex was unable to make it see the episode four record of Red Dwarf XI. By a happy coincidence, Andrew just happened to have been granted a ticket for the recording having pleased the gatekeepers of fandom with a series of elaborate gifts. It provides the perfect opportunity for us to explore the experience from the point of view of a virgin…and also someone who hasn’t been to a Red Dwarf recording before.
