Red Dwarf Trivia Questions
1. In 'Cured', a small group of infamous historical characters were onboard a research centre. What was the centre aiming to 'cure'?

From Quiz Red Dwarf XII

Answer: Evil

The Red Dwarf crew came across a series of cryo-chambers on the research station. They apparently showed that people like Hitler and Vlad the Impaler had been cured of 'evil'. Rupert Murdoch, American media mogul, was 'not responding to treatment'. It turned out that the chambers were empty: the historical figures entered the room and invited them to dinner.

From Quiz In Which Episode?

7. Lister has NOT called Rimmer:

From Quiz All Seasons Misc.

Answer: Iron Balls
