Red Dwarf S7 Episode 5 - Blue (1997)

Starbug is travelling through a rather uninteresting region of space and the crew are bored and begin to nitpick at petty areas of their lives. Meanwhile Lister finds, much to his own surprise and disgust, that he is missing Rimmer, and even having romantic dreams about him returning. Kryten's solution is to take him on a ride called "The Rimmer Experience," which recounts outrageously fictionalised events from Rimmer's diaries.

Red Dwarf S7 Episode 1 - Tikka to Ride (1997)

The crew find themselves resurrected due to the time paradox resulting from the battle with their future selves. The time paradox also results in a greatly upgraded and much larger Starbug. However, the curry supplies have gone missing, and so Lister devises a sneaky plan which involves swapping Kryten's head, once again utilising the time machine, and which ultimately results in the crew getting mixed up in the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas, in 1963.

Seven Days - Crystal Blue Persuasion (2001)

NASA astronaut Commander William Streck is investigating an alien craft above Earth when something erupts, killing two of his crewmates....

These images are from Series 3 episode 15 of the TV show which ran for three seasons in total and produced 66 episodes around the concept of employing time travel to correct events and avoid national emergencies and disasters.

Don't recall this at all although I've read it played this side of the Atlantic as well.  Episode list suggests there  are other stories featuring spacesuits so we may well be back here again.

Thanks Tim

The Quatermass Memoirs (1996)

Very nice cover art for the CD release of this BBC radio production from 1996.  The programme mixes the factual story with a dramatic narrative, in which the now-retired Professor Quatermass reluctantly recounts his past exploits to a female journalist. This in turn is interweaved with soundtrack footage from the Quatermass TV dramas.

Art by Chris Achilleos.  And again below in detail.

Look-In #41 (1981)

Long running British comic / magazine + Much loved English band: Madness =  the above cover image!

 

Beyond that I can't explain why the band members are in space suits or what the logic or reasoning was behind this 1981 cover. But its a nice and odd image to start November off with.  Be back with more soon.
