The first recording of Red Dwarf X is happening next fucking Friday, so in an uncharacteristic act of timeliness we’ve got a nice big preview for you to get your stupid chops around. We have expertly compensated for the lack of solid FACTS about the new by simply making things up and soliciting comments to save us the horrible task of actually thinking about what to say. Speaking of which, thanks to everyone who sent in a comment. We tried to mention everyone but we're sorry if we missed you out. We're also sorry (but not much) if we were rude about you. You probably deserved it, though. ADDENDUM: We mention that Doug was talking about Simon Gregson playing Rimmer’s brother, but it seems we misremembered and now have very little recollection where we got this idea from. We *think* it was just something Craig was throwing around at DJ, so best to take that with a pinch of salt.

Two DwarfCasts in as many weeks? Surely some mistake? Well, as you'll see when you listen, there's something quite significant about this one. We've commentatorised on Out of Time - another of the episodes it's really about bloody time we got around to - and once again, we have a full G&T complement of voices: Jonathan Capps, John Hoare, Seb Patrick, Ian Symes, Tanya Jones, and Danny Stephenson (occasionally) appearing once more courtesy of the magic of Skype. All of this, AND a story about shitting in the street, AND several Richard Nixon impersonations. Increased frequency? High-quality episode choices? All the team in one place? What's going on? Could it be that there's some really important shit going down and you need to listen to the very end of the commentary to hear what it is? Well, possibly. You'll just have to, er, listen.

John Hoare! Ian Symes! Tanya Jones! Seb Patrick! Jonathan Capps! and, joining us through some form of phoneline based WITCHCRAFT, Danny Stephenson! Also, some annoying Skype noises. Back to Reality is, of course, officially the best episode of Red Dwarf ever, as decreed by the wise masters of Ganymede & Titan. Will we do it justice, or will we spend most of the commentary picking at petty problems? There's only way to find out...

This is the last of the current batch (starting with the Back to Earth: Directors Cut commentary), so I'll look forward to recording our next batch sometimes between now and the next time performingmonkey is correct about something, WHICH WILL BE A LONG TIME, OBVIOUSLY.

Cappsy, John, Ian, Seb and court jester Julian Hazeldine convened to re-live the "wonderful" Can't Smeg Won't Smeg, the bizarre but strangely pleasing special created for Red Dwarf Night. We've gone out on a bit of a limb and included this in our "Classic" DwarfCast list over on Twitter, so that means you are legally obliged to enjoy it.
