This article is from the alt.tv.red-dwarf Primer FAQ, by Raz raz@mushroom.demon.co.uk with numerous contributions by others.

5.1 alt.tv.red-dwarf Live!

The a.tv.r-d'ers invaded IRC some time ago, and regular get-togethers take
place on Sunday nights around 20:30, UK time, and at many other times
during the week, either in #atvrd on Dalnet or on the EFNet/ IRCnet
#starbug channel.

It's worth noting that what used to be EFNet has now split into two
seperate networks, IRCnet and EFnet. Check which network your server will
connect you to!

For the temporally challenged =), here's a little table.

  Continent :     North America     :      Europe      :    Australia

  Time code :     PST        EST    :   GMT     CET    :   WST      EST

  Time*     :    12:30      15:30   :  20:30   21:30   :  05:30    07:30
