'''''{{StoryTitle}}''''' was a [[1998 (releases)|1998]] BBC TV special. Although principally spun off from the series ''[[Red Dwarf (series)|Red Dwarf]]'', one of its segments featured essentially a crossover between the ''Red Dwarf'' and ''Doctor Who'' universes as two [[Dalek]]s were 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. | |||

As it is arguably parodical, the sketch is not considered [[Tardis:Valid source|a valid source]] on this Wiki. In addition, for the sake of common sense, our coverage of it is centred on the Dalek-focused sketch within the special rather than the wider compilation itself. | |||

'' | 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 [[propaganda]]. They also take credit for the works of [[William Shakespeare]], and [[Ludwig van Beethoven|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. | |||

* The clip of the Red Dwarf crew at the end of the skit comes from the Red Dwarf Series VI episode Legion. | |||
* The Daleks in the skit were two [[Black Dalek]]s. One had silver [[sense globe]]s and was a fan-made prop, while the one in the right was an actual BBC prop, the one previously used for the [[Black Dalek Leader|Supreme Dalek]] in ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]''.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/Dalek6388/photos/following-on-from-last-weeks-post-regarding-the-remembrance-supreme-dalek-n2-and/2015100018549507</ref> | |||
* The notion that the Daleks were responsible for the works of Shakespeare also appears in the [[1964 (releases)|1964]] comic story ''[[City of the Daleks (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 one of three Doctor Who references in ''Red Dwarf'' content. Rimmer makes reference to "Dr. Who" in the novel ''Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers''. A more subtle reference is the inclusion of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] in model shots of Starbug leaving Red Dwarf's docking bay - the TARDIS itself is barely visible in the show, but can be seen in some outtakes, some of the extended model shots included on the DVD, and in behind-the-scenes photos available on the official Red Dwarf website. | |||
* The skit also includes a clip from the season six episode ''Legion'' which contains the light bulb gag, and begins with Kryten stating "Whatever it is, they clearly have a technology way in advance of our own", possibly used as in-joke reference to the Daleks. The gag itself is that switching the ship's current status to red alert would mean "changing the bulb". | |||
