DwarfCast 111 – Book Club #1: IWCD (Part One)

DwarfCasts (a Red Dwarf podcast)

Hello, and welcome to the inaugural edition of the DC/BC. For those who are about to re-read the Red Dwarf novels at a set pace and discuss each part with the community, we salute you. Join Ian Symes, Jonathan Capps and Danny Stephenson as they embark on what has already turned out to be a bigger undertaking than first thought, as they pick the bones out of Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers Part One: Your Own Death, and How to Cope With It. Was McIntyre literally carrying his nose in a Mimas Hilton Coffee Lounge napkin? Was Bliss this book's Chekhov's false water pistol? How many times can we make obvious Hitchhiker's comparisons? All these questions, and more, not actually answered in any meaningful way.

Show notes

• Chinese traffic jams get close to rivalling Mimas.
• Even the smallest moon in our Solar System is bigger than Red Dwarf, so let's just say it's an asteroid that's lodged in the side of the ship.
• Danny mentions that they add a "1" each time to Holly's IQ in White Hole in the same manner of the crew's number expanding. This is, in fact, absolute bollocks..
• The Son of Cliché 'Freshers' exam sketch that was re-purposed in The End and IWCD (enjoy the old G&T link! We should probably get these last few bits moved over to the new site...)
