Free: Red Dwarf-themed quizzes at Common & The Beagle

Calling all smegheads, kipper smokers and general Dwayne Dibleys! Common and The Beagle are celebrating all things Red Dwarf with a pair of quizzes on the British sci fi comedy phenomenom. Correctly eschewing the abominations that were the latter episodes they will be covering the classics of series I through VI only. Northern Quarter fans can head to Common on the 1^st March followed by The Beagle’s trip to the cold outer reaches of space comes the day after presumably with a caveat that if you’ve done one you cannot do the other, and vice versa for all you time travellers out there. It’s free to enter with bar tab prizes offered to those that know their ‘simulants’ from their androids. No phones allowed during the quiz though its unclear whether or not competitors can consult Holly at any point.
