A Starbug-car on the cobbled road of Coronation Street. So, assumedly the cast of Red Dwarf rescue "Lister" (a.k.a, actor Craig Charles) from his post-Dwarf job as a TV soap star in one scene? Is that a metafictional gag of total genuis, or a pathetic joke in a script that wants us to pretend Corrie and Red Dwarf exist in the same universe? Actor Simon Gregson (Charles' co-star on Corrie) is also listed as a guest-star, too. My expectations were pretty low to begin with, but they're now at rock bottom. The glimpse of an aged Chris Barrie wearing his "H" also looks more tragic than it should. More photos here.
