The Garbage Podcast – Book Reviews: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers
‘What harm was one more podcast?’ Yes, we may have been teeny bit premature in heralding the end of the podcast a couple of years ago. So why are we back, all be it briefly? Well, with a new Red Dwarf novel having just been published with Rob Grant & Andrew Marshall’s Titan, as well as suggestion...

Back To Earth Retrospective: Part Three
In our final ever episode of The Garbage Podcast, we’re closing out our celebration of Back to Earth’s 15th anniversary with a look back at the story’s concluding part. By the episode’s own quantum logic, is Lister a murderer? Which prime time family drama does Doug think is naff? And if your...
-
Back To Earth Retrospective: Part Two
In our continuing celebration of Back to Earth’s 15th anniversary, we look back at the story’s second part in our penultimate podcast. Does this part have some similarities with another British televisual institution? Just why won’t real life Fan Club chairman James Bull change his name to Reg...
-
Back To Earth Retrospective: Part One
‘Just had to say one last goodbye.’ Yes, as we said on our last episode, we have reached the end of this podcast. But while we’ve had episodes covering every TV episode of the show, there’s one story we’ve never covered. Until now. So for one final time, join us over the next three days for three...

Series VIII Reviews: Only The Good
In this final edition of our celebration of Series VIII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the series’ finale, ‘Only The Good’. Was it a fitting end for both the series, and for a decade, seemingly for the show itself? Given his skelital form, can one really knee Death in the happy sack? And in...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Pete (Part Two)
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VIII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the seventh episode of the series, Pete (Part Two). Do all JMC ships carry a stock of dead cows? Would Ridley Scott’s magnum opus be improved by replacing the alien with a dinosaur? And Archie; just…...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Pete (Part One)
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VIII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the sixth episode of the series, Pete (Part One). How does stretching the sotry to two parts affect the structure? What is the terrible secret of Birman? And how many knob based gags is too many? All...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Krytie TV
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VIII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the fifth episode of the series, Krytie TV. Do the jokes save the episode from the questionable premise? Just how dirty are the female inmates of The Tank if Women’s Shower Night take a full 3 hours?...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Cassandra
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VIII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the third episode of the series, Back in The Red – Part 3. Is iTunes right to include this episode in ‘Doug’s Definitive Dwarf’? What is the optimum number of stages to make a Rube Goldberg machine...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Back in The Red (Part III)
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VIII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the third episode of the series, Back in The Red – Part 3. Is the dance sequcne there to give the casta. chance to do their ‘bit’? Does the sentancing make any sense whatsoever? And when did Aardman...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Back in The Red (Part II)
It’s been 25 years today since Back in The Red (Part II) first aired, and we’re marking the occasion by looking back at the episode in a brand new Garbage Podcast. Does the epiosde start to betray the strechting of the script to three parts? Which supermarket seems to still be thriving after 3...
-
Series VIII Reviews: Back in The Red (Part I)
2024 marks the silver anniversary of Red Dwarf VIII, and as such, we’ve all been sentenced to bring you a brand new series of Garbage Podcasts to mark the occasion, starting this week with ‘Back in The Red: Part I’ which aired 25 years ago today. How does the change of set up reorientate the...
-
Series X: Ten Years On (Byte II)
In this second part of our special edition of The Garbage Podcast, we continue our look back at Series X a decade on from when it first aired. How did the cast’s approach to the characters change this series? Did the late model work help save the visual look of the series? And with various themes...
-
Series X: Ten Years On (Byte I)
Today marks 10 years since Series X of the show first aired in 2012, and to mark the occasion, we’re looking back at the series in this first of a two part special edition of The Garbage Podcast. How have our feelings changed a decade on from when we first reviewed the episodes on this podcast?…

Lost Episodes – Identity Within
Having just covered all the episodes in Series VII to mark it’s 25th anniversary, it seems like the perfect time to look back at the lost episode of the series, Identity Within, in a brand new in depth edition of The Garbage Podcast. Could the episode ever have truly been realised? What…

Series VII Reviews: Nanarchy
For the final time this series, we look back 25 years to the airing of the last episode of Series VII with our review of Nanarchy. Is the episode more of a coda than a finale? Does the episode give hints and what will come in the next series? And is Kryten’s main motivation by the end of the…
more -
Series VII Reviews: Epideme
For the penultimate time this series, we look back 25 years to the airing of the last episode of Series VII with our commentary for Epideme. Would an intelligent virus kill it’s host? Is there any logic to Kochanski’s plan? And would the virus have been more or less drastically effective if…
more -
Series VII Reviews: Beyond a Joke
In this edition of The Garbage Podcast, we look back at at the Series VII episode Beyond a Joke to mark it’s 25th anniversary. What might the original draft of the episode have looked like? Is Kryten’s exploding head purposefully bad? And And which Tory bread-barron shares a name with Professor...
-
Series VII Reviews: Blue
It’s been 25 years today since the initial airing of Blue, and we’re marking the occasion with this latest instalment of of our continuing celebration of Series VII’s silver anniversary. When is Lister and Rimmer’s game of golf supposed to have occurred? Is it strange to be having this episode…
more -
Series VII Reviews: Duct Soup
In this fourth instalment of of our continuing celebration of Series VII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at Duct Soup. After three action packed episodes, Duct Soup sees the show bringing everything down to basics with an episode that tries to harken back to episodes like Marooned by trapping…
more -
Series VII Reviews: Ouroboros
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VII’s 25th anniversary, we look back at the third episode of the series, Ouroboros. With Chris Barrie having (sort of) departed the show, a change of line up is in order. Cue the introduction of Chloë Annett as Kochanski, giving Lister a new...
-
Series VII Reviews: Stoke Me A Clipper
It’s been 25 years today since Stoke Me A Clipper first aired, and we’re marking the occasion by looking back at the episode in a brand new Garbage Podcast. The departure of Rimmer would always have required a suitably grand story, and Stoke come out of the gates strong. It’s certainly not…

Series VII Reviews: Tikka To Ride
2022 marks the silver anniversary of Red Dwarf VII, and as such we’re back from the dead with a brand new series of Garbage Podcasts to mark the occasion, starting this week with Tikka To Ride which aired 25 years ago today. Between writers, cast, visuals, length and studio audience, Series VII...

Dimension Jump XXI Diary
Andrew and James attended their first Dimension Jump and decided to chronicle the process for some reason. Alex was also there in his capacity as a member of the Official Red Dwarf Fan Club so we briefly caught up with him to find out what it takes to make Dimension Jump happen. The post…

The Promised Land
In 2009, Red Dwarf returned after ten years away for a three-part special on it’s new home on Dave. Three series and eleven years on, the show has returned for another (now feature length) special with The Promised Land. The show has had multi-parters previously, but outside of DVD extras, this…

Stellar Rescue
We may still be awaiting signs of a new series of Red Dwarf, but that doesn’t mean we are without some form of new Red Dwarf thanks to a tie in advertising campaign with the AA. Much to everyone’s suprise, this is far more of a legit affair than we ever expected. Cast, crew, sets and costumes all...
-
Series VI Commentaries: Out Of Time
For the final time this series, we look back 25 years to the airing of the last episode of Series VI with our commentary for Out of Time.It’s an episode that marks not only the end of a series, but also the end of a distinct era of the show with it being the last televised episode Rob Grant would...
-
Series VI Commentaries: Rimmerworld
In this penultimate instalment of of our continuing celebration of Series VI’s 25th anniversary, we’re this week taking a look back at Rimmerworld. It’s perhaps the episode of the series that tends to be overlooked, which perhaps is partially due to to it’s similarity to ground the show has…

Series VI Commentaries: Emohawk: Polymorph II
In this fourth installment of our continuing celebration of Series VI’s 25th anniversary, we look back at Emohawk: Polymorph II by keeping theme with the episode by revisiting some popular elements from previous podcasts. By which we mean we bollock on about corridors again. It’s an episode of…

Series VI Commentaries: Gunmen of The Apocalypse
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series VI’s 25th anniversary, we take a break from using AR for sex to load up a new podcast and discuss Gunmen of The Apocalypse using our specail skill; talking drivelling bollocks about Red Dwarf. It’s the episode that one the Emmy, had a making...
-
Series VI Commentaries: Legion
It’s been 25 years today since Legion first aired, and we’re marking the occasion with the latest edition of our Series VI anniversary commentaries. It’s perhaps one of the best examples of the sixth series, and one that has some of the show’s most quotable lines in the lightbulb gag. In a great...
-
Series VI Commentaries: Psirens
We’ve been offline for a while while our team has variously dealt with such life altering events as new homes, new children and new underwear. But with 2018 marking the silver anniversary of Red Dwarf VI, we’re naturally back with a brand new series of Garbage Podcasts to the occasion, starting...
-
Red Dwarf USA
With today being the 30th anniversary of Red Dwarf, how best to mark the occasion than to go back and look at the first episode? Unfortunatly, we already did a commentary for that for the 25th anniversary. So rather than repeat ourselves, we’ve instead looked to Red Dwarf USA. Featuring what is...
-
Series XII Retrospective
In case it has passed your attention, today marks 30 years since Red Dwarf first aired. Given we’ve already celebrated the first episode on the podcast for the 25th anniversary, we’re instead joining in the festivities in a slightly different way this time around. So in the first of two podcasts…

Series XII Reviews: Skipper
It may have finished as quickly as it started, but we’re already at the end of Red Dwarf XII. But while it may be the last of the series, Skipper has proved to be an episode worth waiting for. It’s a show of two halves, but when the first half revolves around a strong joke idea and the second...
-
Series XII Reviews – M-Corp
With the penultimate edition of Red Dwarf XII, we see a plot first teased in the run up to Series X finally realised in M-Corp. But while we knew the rough plot idea, what we didn’t know was that like a David Bowie live show circa 1973, it was going to involve a lot of mime. Yet this obvious area...

Series XII Reviews – Mechocracy
The post Series XII Reviews – Mechocracy appeared first on The Spoilist.

Series XII Reviews – Timewave
What a difference a week makes, as the fourth episode of Red Dwarf XII delivers what may well be the most solid espisode of the Dave era so far. Election epiosdes aren’t a new concept for sitcoms, but the way that it is handeled in this episode plays to the strengths of the Red Dwarf universe,...
-
Series XII Reviews – Siliconia
The second episode of Red Dwarf XII sees us finally getting the much discussed ‘the one where everyone’s Kryten’ episode of the show that Doug and the cast have been teasing for so long. For an episode that starts with this as a concept, its possibly surprising that we also have various other…
more -
Series XII Reviews – Cured
It may only have been a year since Series XI, but that hasn’t stopped the 12th series of Red Dwarf being any less anticipated. And with Cured now having aired on Dave following it preview a week before on UKTV Play, we’ve once again gathered to discuss a brand new episode of the show. In this...
-
Series XII Preview
While Series XII airs on tv next week on October 12th, it will start airing online from this Thursday. Crikey. So with very little time before we all start discussing the new episodes, we’ve once again gathered together to bring you The Garbage Podcast preview for Series XII. Despite less...

The Garbage Podcast – Series V Commentaries: Back To Reality
In this last edition of our celebration of Series V’s 25th anniversary, we sit down to talk about Back to Reality on it’s silver anniversary for our latest commentary. To this day it’s still a relief that this episode went out last rather than first in Series V, as it encapsulated perfectly what…
more -
Series V Commentaries: Demons & Angels
As we rapidly approach the end of Series V’s silver anniversary, we’re back once again to celebrate the silver anniversary of Series V’s initial run with our commentary for Demons & Angels, which aired 25 years ago today. It’s perhaps the closet thing Series V has to a light and fun knock about...
-
Series V Commentaries: Quarantine
Another week has passed and we’re back again to celebrate the silver anniversary of Series V’s initial run with our commentary for Quarentine, which aired 25 years ago today. If the episodes that the VHS tapes used to name each byte is an indication of the popularity of an episode, then this…
more -
Series V Commentaries: Terrorform
It’s been 25 years today since Terrorform first aired, and we’re marking the occasion with the latest edition of our Series V anniversary commentaries. It’s an episode that sees Rimmer stranded on a world where his own neurosis’ could very well be the end of him, and it’s down to the rest of the...
-
Series V Commentaries: The Inquisitor
In this edition of our continuing celebration of Series V’s 25th anniversary, we talk about The Inquisitor for our latest commentary. It’s the episode that’s perhaps the perfect encapsulation of Series V’s aesthetic. A strong sic-fi story at the centre with some horror aspects that owe more than…
more -
Series V Commentaries: Holoship
Yesterday marked our fifth anniversary on this site, and one thing we have been doing regularly in those five years is marking the 25th anniversary of each episode’s initial airing with a Garbage Podcast commentary. So with alarming predictability, we’re back mark 25 years since Series V. In this...
-
The Garbage Podcast: Series XI Retrospective
2016 is almost at an end and it’s been a big year for Red Dwarf. Series XI has seen many elements return to the show as well as exploring new areas, and has perhaps set the show up to go on for further episodes better than Series X did. But it’s not just been the shows themselves. We’ve also had...
-
Series XI Reviews: Can Of Worms
After waiting so long for Series XI to hit our screens, it’s all gone by in something of a flash with this week’s episode Can of Worms being the last of the series. It’s also perhaps the episode that was most anticipated wth it having been teased early on. So did it live up to expectation? That…
more -
Series XI Reviews: Krysis
As we hurtle towards the end of Series XI, we have one penultimate stop before the finale with Krysis. Episode 5 is often the point in a six part series where you can hide your weakest episode. This isn’t always the case of course, and even in Red Dwarf, episodes like Queeg happily break that...
