i wonder how the rest of the world/solar system/wherever people were living at that point responded to the radiation leak on red dwarf, if they all knew it was a radiation leak that wiped them out or if that info didnt get back to most of them, if its remembered as a historical event like the titanic or chernobyl, or if its a mystery that spirals into a bunch of mad conspiracy theories like the bermuda triangle or the loch ness monster
does it go down in history as "the mysterious case of the disappearing crew of red dwarf" or is it commonly known as "the red dwarf radiation leak tragedy"? did holly manage to get the information back to them?? or did they not even know the crew disappeared at all & just saw the ship start ominously floating out into space without any explanation
if they do know it was a radiation leak do they know why it happened?? do they know it was because rimmer didnt fix the drive plate properly & if so did he become a historical figure as "the guy who wiped out the red dwarf crew" or do they just know it was a botched drive plate with no other specifics??
did they know there was still a guy in stasis on the ship who had survived?? did they ever try to go on a rescue mission to get him?? did they find out about the cat race evolving on the ship???
im trying to imagine what a red dwarf/doctor who crossover would be like and i cant decide which would be funnier between the doctor being in the red dwarf universe or the boys from the dwarf being in the doctor who universe
like on one hand we have the doctor who is usually the smart space/time know it all who knows just about everything about the universe and its existence and all that suddenly plonked in a universe where aliens dont actually exist, everything he comes into contact with ends up turning out to be a man-made gelf from earth, on a ship where he ends up knowing less about whats going on than the 4 greatest idiots existence can provide and hes just completely baffled at how theyve survived this long and continue to survive
and on the other hand we have the boys going rogue on the tardis & rimmer finally meeting actual aliens for the first time, lister would 1000% square up to a dalek or whatever it is they encounter while the doctor about drives himself mad trying to explain the danger of them and the boys r all just like "whatever weve seen weirder", kryten and the doctor exchanging sciencey-space knowledge & confusing each other with contradicting info from each of their respective realities, cat 100% would raid the tardis wardrobe and make fun of all the different fashion senses the doctors had over the years
hes so ridiculously fuckign stupid i love him so so much
coming onto tumblr because the red dwarf fanbase is actually active on here heres a rimmer edit i did ages ago
rimmer and lister making jokes about insects/ants having taken over earth in future echoes vs the books revelaling that insects/ants actually have infact taken over earth
