Synopsis:

To focus purely on the story & make a tighter version. As a result scenes I have taken out weren’t down to whether I thought they were any good or not, but because I didn’t think they were necessary to the overall story.

Intentions:

Back To Earth seemed to divide Red Dwarf fans as much The Phantom Menace divided Star Wars fans. When a movie is this divisive there is no way one edit could satisfy everyone. As a result I have in no way made this edit to please anyone but myself. But, I am sharing this edit on the off chance other Red Dwarf fans may enjoy it too. The only concession I have made for others is to produce 2 audio versions. The fact there wasn’t a studio audience seemed to be one of the most divisive factors of BTE, so 2 audio tracks have been made. One with a Laughter track & one without, the edit it self is the same but now you can watch it with the audio version that you prefer. Personally, I felt there was as good in BTE as there was bad. So I decided to focus purely on the story & make a tighter version. As a result scenes I have taken out weren’t down to whether I thought they were any good or not, but because I didn’t think they were necessary to the overall story. Also, a special mention to Harman. This edit hit the buffers because of terrible audio glitches & I was very close to not releasing this edit as a result. But, Harman kindly offered to do the audio for me & as a result of the months of hard work he put in this edit can now be released.
