Gunmen of the Apocalypse Quiz

Test your knowledge of the Series VI fan favourite.

21 May, 2021

There are few sitcoms that are as densely packed with detail, trivia and easter eggs as Red Dwarf, and there are even fewer that boast a fan base as dedicated and eager to absorb it all as ours. Now it's time to put all that learning to the test in our first episode-specific quiz, all about Series VI's Gunmen of the Apocalypse.

Following the crew's attempt to defeat a ruthless computer virus using an artificial reality simulation, the episode plays out as an elaborate Western. It regularly tops many a Dwarfer's favourite episode list, and also delivered an International Emmy Award win for Popular Arts in 1994.

Of course, if you plan on scoring well on this quiz, then chances are you already know all of this. On the other hand, if you want to swat up on the episode before trying the quiz, Gunmen of the Apocalypse is available in the UK on Netflix, Apple TV and Britbox. If you want to get your knowledge up to speed for future episode specific quizzes at the same time, it's also available as part of our stripped-back DVD collection and feature-packed Blu-ray set. For international availability you can check here.

Otherwise, it's time to separate the mighty brave from the mighty stupid as we prosper for gold in the minutiae of Gunmen of the Apocalypse. To quote a wise old mechanoid sheriff, "Go for your guns, you scum sucking molluscs." See if you can beat our latest quiz here.
