"Clifford the Big Bastard of a Dog" With apologies for the delay, it's finally time to get back on the rack! Our Smegazine odyssey reaches February 1993, a very interesting time in Red Dwarf history, as the magazine's news page documents. In this episode, we uncover the origins of Entangled , some foreshadowing of The Promised Land and the first ever use of the smeg hammer. Other super relevant and definitely on-topic discussion points include the Bottom Exposed documentary, various 1990s adventure game shows, and the state of the Hitchhikers franchise after Douglas Adams's death. Oh, and the results of a caption competition from two years ago. We may not be fast... Show notes Returning the shout-out, even though we recorded this months before his shout-out to us, Stuart Millard on Scavengers G&TV covers Cyberzone Terrible news - turns out the photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono's arses was photoshopped after all Bryan Lewis Saunders's Drugs project
