As Arnold Rimmer and “the last human being alive” Dave Lister, Chris Barrie and Craig Charles made their careers on the cult sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf.

25 years after the show’s inception, the pair reunited for a sci-fi convention in Tynemouth on Saturday, where fans were treated to this Q&A.

Here, Barrie and Charles talk about their acting careers, the panel show Space Cadets, their time on Red Dwarf, favourite moments, ‘challenges’ on set and returning for series X in 2012.

The sound quality isn’t great, but stick with it as it does get better and there’s some interesting bits in there for fans of the show.

At Craig’s request we’ve removed a poem he performed on the day.
