- Ganymede & Titan’s Silver Survey
To celebrate Red Dwarf’s 25ht anniversary year, Ganymede & Titan have begun an update to their attempt to rank all of the episodes of Red Dwarf to bring it up to date an encompass Back to Earth and Series X. This time, the voting is open to everyone, providing they can stick with the long project of working out their own ordering of every episode of the show. Here’s G&T’s explanation of how to vote for your order:
To get started with this admittedly daunting task simply go to our special mini-site, where you’ll find a helpfully colour coded list of episodes for you to order to your hearts content. We’ve tried to make the process as quick as painless as possible so ordering the episodes is a simple case of dragging and dropping, and there’s even a way to save your current order so you can have a break and come back later. Having said that, though, I’d recommend you have your order saved separately somewhere just in case my wonderful system breaks in some way. If you’re having any problems at all, get in touch and we’ll help you out.
The only piece of information we require from you (other than your episode rankings, that is) is your email address. This is to help us filter out any duplicate submissions, identify and remove any spam and to also provide you with a helpful email summarising your choices. We will not use your email address for anything else, so don’t panic. We’re also asking (but not demanding) some extra information that will help us build pretty graphs in the future. Graphs are cool.

- Death In Paradise – Series 2
Following on from the success of the first series of Death in Paradise last year, BBC One are set to air a brand new series imminently. The drama starring Ben Miller features Danny as the local police man, Dwayne Myers. Here is the synopsis for the series from The Official Red Dwarf Website:
DI Richard Poole is still trapped on the Caribbean island paradise of Saint- Marie – and for him the sun, sea and sand continue to irritate, as he irritates his long-suffering colleagues. But, he’s also as brilliant as ever. His eye for detail, relentless logic and stubborn refusal to leave anything unexplained works seamlessly with the instinctive and insightful knowledge of the beautiful Sergeant Bordey. She has much to teach him about human behaviour… With the often unorthodox assistance of Dwayne and Fidel, they tackle a baffling array of unique murders, from pirate curses to nuns killed in locked rooms – even one with a hurricane bearing down on them! Most seem impossible, but Richard and his team always get to the heart of the mystery…
The new 8 part series starts this Thursday at 9PM on BBC One.
