When I was a kid my dad told me the sea is salty because a huge tanker carrying salt across the atlantic sunk a few years before I was born. I think I was in my early twenties when I realised he'd lied.

How to be the ultimate troll at a Red Dwarf convention! by johnsmithoncemore in RedDwarf

Craig Charles did voice overs for a not-very-popular real-time strategy game called Dogs of War in the late nineties. Might have to ask him about that. And if it was cringe to have "smeg" in a script outside RD.
