Many fans will know that Red Dwarf Co-creator Rob Grant, alongside pals and fellow Red Dwarf alumni, Producer Paul Jackson and Director Ed Bye, have been doing regular commentaries via Zoom over the course of the UK’s coronavirus-related lockdown. Having now covered the first three series of the show on Sunday afternoons alongside a slew of Red Dwarf colleagues, they will be exclusively analysing the fan-favourite episode from Series IV White Hole. Rob, Paul and Ed will also be doing a live Q&A after the commentary, so make sure to get involved by putting your burning questions to the threesome via Zoom’s Q&A function.
