'Red Dwarf' - Series 8 Trivia Questions

1. "Back in the Red I" After Starbug crashed inside Red Dwarf who helped Cat out of the burning craft?

From Quiz
Series VIII Test

Answer: Kryten

First their engines were ripped off, then the mid section went. Kryten: "I'm sorry everyone we'll have to have sandwiches tonight." They then crashed into the cargo bay destroying Starbug. Kryten helped Cat out while all of them found a safe place to hide from the explosion.

2. In episode one, 'Back in the Red: Part One', Lister bets "twenty big ones" that he can get Rimmer to do what?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf VIII': May The Farce Be With You...

Answer: Say something in the next minute

He didn't last very long, but I don't think Lister ever got his money! Rimmer said his mind was so numb and brain dead that he felt like he had just attended a three-day seminar entitled "The Future of Plumbing".

3. "Back in the Red II" Who used the sexual magnetism and luck viruses?

From Quiz Series VIII Test

Answer: Rimmer

Holly showed Rimmer where the crew's confidential files were located and by accident Rimmer found the vials of the viruses. He was getting promoted and having sex with numerous female crew members. So much so he was using a hammer on his crotch to stop the virus.

4. After his medical examination in 'Back in the Red: Part Two', what was Kryten reclassified as?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf VIII': May The Farce Be With You...

He just didn't have the right equipment, but using an old electron board, a loo roll, some sticky-back plastic and an Action Man's polo neck jumper, Kryten made one for himself, and named it Archie!

7. What did Kryten say to prove he could lie while he was being examined by the psychiatric counsellor?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf' Series 8

Answer: 'You have a very fine haircut.'

The counsellor was more worried about the fact that the chair Kryten was sitting on was bolted to the floor, as he thought the mechanoid was dangerous. Little does he know!

8. "Cassandra" Rimmer: "So what happens now? How...how do I die?" Cassandra: "Lister catches you making love to Kochanski and shoots you through the head with a ______ gun."

From Quiz Series VIII Test

Answer: harpoon

Rimmer: "Can you just double-check that?" Cassandra: "I've seen it. It's what happens in the old laundry room." Rimmer: "So let me repeat what I think you're saying. Arnold, that's me, and Kochanski, that's the woman, the really attractive one you saw earlier; me and her are in bed giving it rizz, when Lister, that's the short dumpy one with the stupid haircut, walks in and shoots me through the head while I'm making love to Kochanski. Cassandra: That is what's going to happen." Rimmer: "FANTASTIC." Rimmer didn't seem to mind when told Lister was going to kill him. He was thrilled however when told he was going to die having sex.

16. What was written on the EXIT button in Blue Midget?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf' Series 8

11 in Roman numerals is XI, so that became E - XI - T which spells EXIT. When the crew were in the screensaver, the ketchup bottle was named 'Power Ketchup' which can be translated as 'Power Sauce' and thus 'power source'.

Answer: "Boing", the virility-enhancement drug

18. What did the second Ground Controller call Cat?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf' Series 8

I peed in his mum's steam iron. He had yellow T-shirts for a week." Rimmer is in short a wimp who thinks he's a hero.

20. What is the name of the dinosaur that evolved from Birdman's pet sparrow?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf VIII': May The Farce Be With You...

Pete died, probably the result of all that sneezing, and Birdman was very upset. Kryten used the Time Wand to bring Pete back to life but oops, he "inadvertantly reversed evolution several million years".

21. How are the Canaries described by the Prison Governor?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf' Series 8

Answer: 'The toughest convict army this side of Pluto'

The Canaries were sent into situations to make sure it was safe before members of Red Dwarf's crew went in. They were named after the birds who would test the air in mines in the 19th century. Rimmer tells Lister that the word is an acronym for the 'convict army' answer, but this is not how the Prison Governer describes them.

22. "Back in the Red I" What floor were the crew assigned to?

From Quiz Series VIII Test

Answer: Floor 13

Lister was escorted back to his quarters and placed on an ankle monitor when Holly made an appearance. Lister: "Where would we go?" Holly: "The brig." Lister: "Where?" Holly: "Floor 13." Lister: "There isn't a floor 13." It was a secret floor and all the officers and Holly knew about it. So I guess it wasn't secret.

Answer: Madge

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf VIII': May The Farce Be With You...

26. What was the name of Cassandra's ship?

From Quiz 'Red Dwarf' Series 8

Answer: Silverberg

Cassandra was able to predict the future, and knew that Lister would be the cause of her death; the final scene of this episode shows how this was done with a piece of chewing gum, and it is worth watching!

27. With whom did Ackerman have a date on Saturday night?
