Easter egg: On Disc 1 of Series VI, go to Commentary, then hit [left]. You will be taken to a panel just to the left of the main screen, where you should hit [enter]. This takes you to a key pad. Highlight "1", hit [enter]; highlight "7", [enter]; highlight "4", [enter]; highlight "2", [enter]. This takes you to a screen that says, "Error."

Timeslides - S3-E5

Factual error: The writer's understanding of the history of Nazism and its leaders is a bit shonky. Claus von Stauffenberg did not plant a bomb in Hitler's briefcase - he put it in his own briefcase which he planted in a meeting room next to Hitler (some berk moved it). This was in July 1944, while the last Nuremberg rally - which Lister visits, bringing back the briefcase - was in 1938. Stauffenberg didn't even join the anti-Hitler conspiracy until 1943. Red Dwarf is not an 'alternate history' - they correctly identify elements of the Stauffenberg plot and the Nazi regime, they just get them wrong.

Suggested correction: It's not a documentary. This is the history of the universe in which Red Dwarf is set. It's almost as if it's a Parallel Universe.

Read the posting again - Red Dwarf is not an "alternative universe."
