	"the robot" is Kryten, an android adopted by the crew of the Red

	The best explanation I can come up with is "continuity oops".  The
	Red Dwarf writers and director don't seem particularly interested
	in writing a space opera, so they're relaxed about continuity.

	Also, the fact that a person/character can do something once or
	twice doesn't mean that they'd be very good at it  --  or that 
	they could do it under the sort of pressure that Lister was putting
	on Kryten (who's already a bit high strung as it is).

	You're right, though  --  it was a good question.	=)

	   Spoiler alert for "White Hole".

   

	   The scheme to get to bring up Holly's IQ from 600 (I think) to
	   6,000 was was shown to have a few glitches when Holly's IQ dipped
	   to 60 before skyrocketing to oh, say, 60,000.  Since her IQ grew 
	   exponentially, her life span shortened exponentially 


Well, before she had the CPU-compression, she banged her hed on the monitor to
count: this, I think, is not typical of someone with an IQ of 600... when the
CPU-compression is going on, it shows her screen and the following happens:
(With a bar reading projected IQ:)

8:
Holly is crosseyed and looking gormless.

68:
Holly looks about normal (maybe this is what it was before)

368, 2368:
Looking intelligent

12368:
She projects herself as a hologram instead.
(This is her final IQ from the compression)

Thus I think her starting IQ was 68, and (at least for the rest of White Hole)
her IQ was eventually 12368.   These numbers are from memory, but I think
they're right...

Holly didn't go senial.  He did invent the Holly Hop Drive after all.
I think he went a bit crazy.  (Just like Douglas Adam's book that has the

Billy Connolly is from Glasgow, on the west coast of Scotland. If you go to the
east coast you get another accent again.

Yes, series 6 of Red Dwarf is in production. Will be premiered on BBC in its
usual Jan-Mar slot next year. Red Dwarf. One series per year.

Haven't got a bastard clue what you mean by 'are we just seeing whatever
Britain's version of syndication is?' though.

In Stasis Leak all of the "petit rouge one posse" appear more than once,
from the past, the present ( or is that the future ), and from the
double double future. However the cat does not appear from the double double 
future. As the time period between the present ( future ) and double double
future characters is 5 years and the episode is 3 years old ( ? ) what, if
anything, happens to the cat in the next 2 years ?

Also during the end credits of Thanks For The Memory the job titles disappear
when they reach the top of the screen, whereas the names scroll smoothly off.
Is this the only episode to do this ? Was the Beeb trying to tell us 
something ? Or am I just wittering on aimlessly ( very likely - ed )?

I have heard a record that samples RD - "New Genetic Structure Accepted", etc 
from the DNA episode, does anyone know any more about this or other such 
things ?

Yep, Alexei Sayle is a Scouse git ! :-)

If you want a classic Brummie accent (the only accent that makes you sound like
you've got an IQ of 12) try Jasper Carrott

Timothy Spalding (the guy who played the technician in "Back to reality")
has got a Black Country accent. (Dudley, Wolverhampton area) This accent makes
Brummies sound intelligent ! [ :-) X lots, honest !!!)

There's only one good accent and thats a Yorkshire acent (Eh up Sithee )
