ATTENTION ALL SMEGHEADS

“Red Dwarf” is out on DVD in the United States. We have the first one and we’re currently watching it. “No Exit” in space. Brilliant stuff.

Always wondered: At one point in “The End,” Holly gets so frustrated with Lister’s inability to comprehend that everyone’s dead he says, “Gordon Bennett, yes, they’re all dead.” Gordon Bennett? Huh? Who’s Gordon Bennett? Kathleen claims it’s Cockney rhyming slang, but I can’t figure out what “Bennett” rhymes with. “Demmit?” Kind of a stretch. Anyone know?
