QPR Screen References: No.18 – ‘Red Dwarf’ – Episode: ‘Pete – Part 1’

‘Red Dwarf’ is a sort of science fiction based sitcom which first hit the screens
on BBC Two in 1988.

Later, the TV Channel ‘Dave’ decided to resurrect the show
in 2008 when they commissioned the production of three episodes which were
screened the following year.

Although I’m not a fan of the show I eventually became aware of the inclusion
of a QPR reference in one of the episodes.

Then Steve Sayce kindly passed on the DVD to me to watch.

There is a scene where the Dwarfers eventually find the lost Canary team frozen
in time, Kryten remarks: ‘I’ve never seen anything like this before – a group of men
who display all the normal life signs, but seem totally incapable of movement.’
To which Holly replies: ‘Never seen QPR play away then ?’

‘Pete – Part 1’ was the sixth episode in the eighth season and the fiftieth
episode overall. It was first transmitted in the UK on 25th March 1999.

Lost Canary team?? Sounds more like Norwich!

You know I am sure there is another quip by computer "Holly" in one of those early Red Dwarf
series....some sort of reference to the QPR defence?

I cant recall the exact dialogue
