Well, Red Dwarf Season 4 (which contains the wax-droid war episode) is the last 
series aired here, altho I know that RD5 obviously has been made and broadcast 
in the UK, so give it some time to reach the states.   Or has it reached the US 
yet?  If it has, please post here or E-Mail me at the address below (Preferably

Unlikely. Red Dwarf (or Holly to exact) can only sustain one hologram,
or two at a squeeze (cf 2 Rimmers in RD's I/5 and 6 'Confidence and Paranoia
and 'Me^2'). Starbug is unlikely to have a computer as powerful at Holly,
though Holly is seen as the only computer on Starbug. 'Auto pilot engaged".
'Well I say auto-pilot, it's me muggins ...'.

This doesn't explain why Rimmer can exist millions of miles away though
(Waxworld for example) as Holly's computing power sustains Rimmer. Guess
its down to crap continuity again.

I think its down to what's more important. The humour or the continuity of
the script. I'm for the first, though continuity is a niggling downside.

  I called up Don at WE about your enquiry. This is the info he gave me:

1. Better Than Life - Front: "Better than life". Logo.
                   Back: "It's only a game. But, a game that kills you".
2. Back: "Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" in purple. Logo.
   Front: Bookcover
3. 'Kryten says... "Spin my nipples and I'll send you to Alaska".'
                  3-D pic of Kryton comes with 3-D glasses.
?. Smeg Off - Poor quality, unofficial?.
4."Smeghead"(Front/Red letters). Back: "Better a smeg, than dead".
5."Smoke me a kipper and I'll be back for breakfast". Blk/white letters.
6. Inquisitor, pic of. With phrase at bottom. Logo.
7. Picture of ship, "Red Dwarf" red letters (not made by BMS)

 Most, if not all, have the Red Dwarf logo on them (front). BMS is the
official maker. ? and #7 in not by BMS (as I've been informed.

Additional:

 Don (of WE) is working on stocking the RD Magazine. This _may_ commence

 BTW, the RD graphic novel has been shelved.

Watch "Timeslides". Rimmer changed his whole past.
Everyone else's pasts were changed too.

Any continuity would have to account for all the time
traveling and historical changes which happen during the
series. Having Rimmer an orphan with parents, and having his
father die in two different ways is no great problem under
these conditions.

 I've been reading alot of messages from our American cousins that the

 Please note that the novels are easily obtainable from Who Enterprises
here in Toronto.

"Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers" (stock #RDNVL1) and "Better Than
Life" (stock #RDNVL2) are US$7.25 each (payable in money-order or send
MasterCard #). The price is inclusive. Meaning, all P&H, any (if any)
taxes, etc. is included in the $7.25 price.

All you have to do is write:

Who Enterprises
P.O. Box 399,
Station "R"

There you have it folks! Easy enough.

In australia the best place to get british sci-fi videos is a store

US videos and associated goods T-Shirts posters etc and do do mail

	They are generally about 6-12 months ahead of the australian
