Red Dwarf DVD spines

Put your Red Dwarf Series 1 and Series 2 DVDs next to each other and look at the spines.

What do you see?

Notice the Red Dwarf logo beginning to form?

I just wish they had used 'proper' Amaray double disc cases, instead of the cheap feeling efforts provided. There's nowhere to keep the booklet secure and stop it falling out each time you open the case. And as for getting the discs themselves out.....

They should've kept them all red, the Red Dwarf logo on a bunch of different colours will look a bit crap

Moan, moan, moan You should all be grateful that we have them on DVD at long last, with good extras, and the original series too

I wasn't moaning (okay, I was ) but they should've had more consideration for tosspots like me

Now do the same with your official star wars dvds. How are they going to fit episode III, IV and VI on?

Simple. By the time GL releases the original trilogy, they will be in covers completely different from I, II (& presumably III), so we'll all go out and buy 'em again, just so as they match.

I have had to use different amaray cases as the discs were a pain to get out safely.

I've had a few of those cases in the past, and there's a trick to them.

Basically, you can see a little spring-type bit of plastic on the centre ring. Push that in with the nail on your thumb or another finger, then lift up the disk from the top. Make sure the disk is flat on a solid surface, like a table, when you do this.

Works a treat once you get the knack of it and doesn't damage the disk at all
