    Red Dwarf, by Rob Grant & Doug Naylor Red dwarf was written in collaboration by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.

The BBC television series of the same name is based on this book but the events of the book and series are quite different and in my opinion the book is superior. The central character of this book is Dave Lister and...
  • Problem Of Stowaways On Their Ships

    EVALUATION OF A PRODUCTION On I attended a performance of "The return of Return to the Forbidden Planet" which is a comedy musical by Bob Carlton. It is based loosely on the William Shakespeare play "The Tempest" but has touches of many of Shakespeare's works.
