• MP demands female justice minister, after rape comments
  Sadly, I have known women who are just as in thrall to the patriarchy and rape culture as men, and I know many men who are just as forthright on rape as I am. You cannot tell how someone is going to behave by what their gender presentation is.

At least 3 of the Red Dwarf X episode titles are... pleasingly vague and misdirecting. I believe that you will enjoy Lemons. I've also seen Entangled and Dear Dave.

I am looking forward to this much more than I was Back to earth

I remember seeing the publicity photo and teaser trailer for Back to Earth (Rimmer rambling about reality shows in a shopping centre). Everyone else was pretending the cast hadn't aged a day, but my first reaction was "they bottled it". It looked like living proof why The Dark Dimension would have been a disastrously bad thing for Doctor Who. By the time I actually saw the episodes the hype had died down and I could see one of my friends as an extra - that was all rather jolly.

And it really nearly put Craig Charles off doing any more Dwarf at all.

There can't be a Red Dwarf X -- that would mean there'd been a Red Dwarf VII, VIII and IX, which is clearly nonsense. I'm not actually sure all the time if there was a Red Dwarf V or VI or not, though I think there was...
