I think the only time you can tell is if you watch the behind the scenes stuff from back then, like the smeg up's. You could tell Craig, Robert & Danny got on more socially.

Cat/DJJ was an actor, but also singer/dancer, he trained for all the and was in West End theatre (the London equivalent of NYC's Broadway) and some other acting jobs, including the film Scum with Ray Winston, before doing Red Dwarf. RLL had done other acting stuff too, but I don't know if he had any professional training, I think it was more fringe theatre and comedy stuff. Still though, impressive group of people that did wonderful things together! :)

two things: first, I love how they sneak a part of the Red Dwarf theme into 1:38. Second, here's a fun bit of trivia: Danny John-Jules who is the actor that plays Cat used to be a dancer before he took on the role of Cat. In fact most of the cast had no prior acting experience apart from Chris Barrie (Arnold Rimmer) who was an impressionist, and Norman Lovett (Holly) who was an actor. Craig Charles (Dave Lister) was a poet, Robert Llewellyn (Kryten, series III onwards) was a comedian.

Watching this during an ad break of The Promised Land. Still cracks me up every time 😂

When I watched this as it aired for the first time ('89 or ;90), I thought the BBC had made a mistake and were playing the video of Red Dwarf, but with the music from another source or show as the usual intro music wasnt playing. It wasn't until I saw the Boys from the Dwarf that I realised it was deliberate! Great episode and possibly my favourite - the last episode of Season Two, titled Parallel Universe, though you never saw the title on screen. Thought it was hilarious.
