15 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Red Dwarf

8. There Is No Complete List Of Space Corps Directives

Sorry, the complete list is classified. That is to say that it's still being written. 36 Space Corps Directives have featured in Red Dwarf to-date - and despite them being numbered from 1 "It is a prime overriding duty to contact other lifeforms, exchange information, and, whenever possible, bring them home" to the equally dull 39436175880932/C "POWs have a right to non-violent constraint" - they appear to be random. Funnily enough, despite being a staple part of the Jupiter Mining Corporation's rule book they weren't referenced at all until series 2, when Rimmer really started to get hacked off with being, you know, dead. Classic fan-favourites on the list include 196156 "Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women's gym will be discharged without trial" and not forgetting 34142 "No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity." Unlucky, Lister.
