Notes[]

  1. In Red Dwarf - Back To Earth, Craig appeared as himself, looking through his copy of the script on the Rovers Return set when Simon Gregson walks in, remarking that Craig's friends from Red Dwarf are outside, and that Craig was with them. Craig responded by asking if Simon is drunk, just before Dave, Rimmer, Kryten and The Cat walked in. [1]
