Red Dwarf Series 7 DVD Details

Friday 19th of August 2005

Well it looks as if it is going to be another fantastic release for Red dwarf fans when the 7th series of the cult scifi comedy is released

This time it will be a 3 disc set as there are more episodes - but also a HUGE wealth of bonus content

Along with the usual smeg ups, deleted scenes, new effects, video diaries that have become staple in this release (due November) we should also expect "Back From the Dead" a 90-minute documentary that brings the unvarnished truth behind the production of this difficult season.
