23 What was "Red Dwarf Night"?

Saturday, 14 February 1998, was the tenth anniversary of the first airing
of "The End." To celebrate, BBC 2 aired a special night of Red
Dwarf-related programming hosted by Patrick Stewart:

* "Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg": A special edition of the BBC show "Can't
Cook, Won't Cook," featuring the Red Dwarf cast.
* Red Dwarf Smeg Ups: A selection from the "Smeg Ups" and "Smeg Outs"
videos, with new introductions.
* "Universe Challenge": A special fans-versus-cast version of the BBC
quiz show University Challenge, hosted by Bamber Gascgoigne. (The fans
won.)
* "Red Dwarf A to Z": A clip from the show for every letter in the
alphabet, introduced by various celebrities. "R" (for Remastered) was
a sample the Red Dwarf Special Edition, with the new Blue Midget.
* "Gunmen of the Apocalypse": The classic episode.

"Red Dwarf Night" has not been released on videocassette, but some video
bootleggers have tapes of it. Try the Dealers' Room at any sizable science
fiction convention.
