Episodes
Its the third episode of the new series of Red Dwarf and we are pleasantly surprised by this new classic in the Red Dwarf canon. Jed & Daniela spend at leat half the episode arguing about time travel and if Asclepius is the good guy or not (he definitely is). Will this episode have an ending or will it be abruptly cut off in a confusing way? Find that out and more on this episode of SMEGHEADS!

Jed & Daniela take on 'Samsara', episode 2 of the brand new series of Red Dwarf XI! Join us as we try to untangle the ultra-confusing logic of the karma drive, the theories on why the crew actually died, how Barker and Green survived 3 million years in the escape pod, and why this episode feels rushed! We promise this podcast will have a better ending than this episode, specifically because we will actually have one!   3 jed & daniela

Jed & Daniela discuss 'Quarantine' and Daniela tries her best to get it to the top of the Smegheads Charts. Should Mr Flibble do a Dibbley and appear in more than one episode, just because he is a fan favourite? would would you do with a Luck Virus? Do you want a 10 minute conversation about Daniela singing? Join us for episode 4 of Series V on SMEGHEADS!

Jed & Daniela discuss the worst episode of Series V. It's certainly not the worst episode in the Red Dwarf canon, but for a series that is considered the finest example of a sci-fi comedy sitcom, it's as weak as the orange squash you used to get jumble sales (just me then?). We also check back in (briefly) with Tom Stabb who is still lost in his black hole. Will he ever escape?

I'm keeping this brief as its XMAS and you should be so lucky getting a new podcast episode today! As it is Xmas, we decided to go off-book (again) and do the ill-fated Red Dwarf USA Pilot. You most likely know its the visual equivalent of eating a bag of sick, so I won't go into too much details now, just listen to it! You also get a BRAND NEW SMEGHEADS THEME SONG! Its A Capella (because thats what the kids like right now I'm told) and you get to hear the dulcet tones of myself and Daniela...

If you listened to our Red Dwarf XI preview/adventure episode last week, you will know it's a Kryten-centric episode which funnily enough is the spiritual successor to 'The Last Day'. The parallels are uncanny, from the opening scene to the... [SPOILERS]. Its weird how an episode you used to skip when you were a kid, is the same episode you look forward to now you are an adult. Some people told me before re-watching this, that this was their fave episode of Series III. In the cold light of...

'Timeslides' is an episode that filled me with so much joy as a child. Here was a method to go inside any photo or film and change world history, More importantly it was a way to change your own personal history. The wish fulfilment quota in this episode is high and in the podcast, Daniela and I ask ourselves the question "Where would you go if you could travel back anywhere through time?" I of course wouldn't bother too much about important historical events; instead I would travel back to...

Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Oh Man, do you guys have to do Bodyswap? That's my least fave of Series III..." and I had the same level of trepidation as you, trust me, but I watched it again and remembered how satisfying it is to see a grown man shove his face into a plate of food. VERY. This podcast episode, Lady D and I literally swapped bodies in keeping with the theme of the show. The only problem is, we couldn't reverse the process... I've got to admit, this episode...

Red Dwarf Series III is all KILLER no FILLER, so once again, this is an episode that is considered one of the best. Not just for Red Dwarf, but for British TV Comedy in general. Its hard to disagree but just so we have a second opinion, we have recruited the wonderful BILLY LUNN from the awesome band THE SUBWAYS, and look he even turned up in a SMEG HEAD tshirt! Did I mention that the episode in question is... POLYMORPH? No? It's POLYMORPH!

'Marooned' is one of my favourite ever Red Dwarf episodes. You can keep your all-action sci-fi monster episodes, I'm the kinda guy that loves the bottle episodes where its just REAL TALK and REAL EMOTIONS whereas my co-host Daniela is the type of girl who wants to shoot and ask questions later. So you see, she was never going to like this episode as much as me, with its subtlety and nuances and guys telling other guys how they feel...

Hot off his cover feature on Suicide Squad (where he got the world exclusive interviews with all the cast) he brings his experience with Red Dwarf and also the scariest story you have heard in your life... about a pie. #GHOSTPIE.

It's the last episode of Season 2, and what an episode! 'Parallel Universe' starts off with the massive fan favourite 'Tongue Tied' and it's basically the best thing our eyes have ever seen. Myself and Daniela are once again joined by Tom Dark and Tom Stabb, back by popular demand and they come bearing gifts! They have used their Record Label logins, and brought some very cool stuff to the podcast. They have brought in the detailed sales figures for 'Tongue Tied'! We hear how many records it...

So many good episodes in Series 2, and this is one of the best of a good bunch. Queeg sees Red Dwarf's amiable computer, Holly, being succeeded by the backup computer named QUEEG 500. Holly has to prove himself to be the better computer and win back the trust if the crew. Is he as incompetent as everyone believes him to be? Yeah probably.
