Edward Richard Morrison Bye was the Producer and Director on every series of Red Dwarf apart from V and VI, with Doug Naylor later taking over as director for Back to Earth and Series X. Ed directed every episode of the first four series, but had to bow out in order to work on The Full Wax, prompting the producers to hire Juliet May and Andy de Emmony to direct Series V and VI respectively. When Series VII came around, he was available once again. Ed had to take one day off during the filming of "White Hole", so the direction was taken over by an uncredited Paul Jackson.
