Red Dwarf A-Z (TV story)

 was a segment of the Red Dwarf documentary Red Dwarf A-Z, which featured two Daleks being interviewed about the series under the letter E, for Exterminate. This was followed by a clip from the series which depicted a specific joke being discussed.

Synopsis
Daleks discuss Red Dwarf, including a particular light bulb joke.

Plot
Two Daleks state they are not familiar with the TV series Red Dwarf as they do not watch anything on BBC2, and all TV is merely human propoganda. They also take credit for the works of William Shakespeare, and Beethoven.

After this however, one Dalek does state "that light bulb gag was funny though", prompting an argument between the two. It ends with one exterminating the other.

Story notes

 * The small skit was approximately 2 minutes in length, Daleks appeared in most of the sketch and the Red Dwarf crew were seen at the end.
 * The clip of the Red Dwarf crew at the end of the skit comes from the Red Dwarf Series VI episode Legion.
 * The notion that the Daleks were responsible for the works of Shakespeare also appears in the 1964 comic story City of the Daleks.
 * The Red Dwarf A-Z Documentary is included as a special feature on the Red Dwarf Series II DVD.
 * This is the second time Doctor Who has been in something to do with Red Dwarf. In the book Red Dwarf, Infinity welcomes careful drivers. Rimmer thinks that for 35 minutes minus 35 minutes you'd have to be 'Dr. Who'.
