Tuck into a delicious special all about food in Red Dwarf, featuring food journalist and author Andrew Webb. As both a big fan of the show and an expert on cuisine, Andrew is the perfect guest to guide us through the Dwarf’s gastronomic delights. It’s all here: vending machines, dog food, curry, triple fried egg chill chutney sandwiches and a glass of chilled Sancerre.

We explore the British food scene in the 80s and 90s, Grant and Naylor’s knack for lists, Mimosian banquets and – of course – Can’t Smeg Won’t Smeg. What’s more, Andrew has prepared not one but two Red Dwarf taster menus for your delectation - bon appetit!

SO WHAT IS IT?
