For the most part, [[Ed Bye]] produced and directed the series. He left before Series V due to a scheduling clash (he ended up directing a show starring his wife, [[Ruby Wax]]) so [[Juliet May]] took over as director.<ref>Howarth & Lyons (1993) p. 16.</ref> May parted ways with the show halfway through the series for personal and professional reasons and Grant and Naylor took over direction of the series, in addition to writing and producing.<ref name="Series V production">{{cite web |url=http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/guide/index.cfm?seriesID=5&sectionID=behind-the-scenes&subsectionID=production |title=Red Dwarf series V Production |website=RedDwarf.co.uk |access-date=17 December 2007 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081119161025/http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/guide/index.cfm?sectionID=behind-the-scenes&seriesID=5&subsectionID=production |archive-date=19 November 2008 |df=dmy-all}}</ref> Series VI was directed by [[Andy De Emmony]], and Ed Bye returned to direct series VII and VIII. Series I, II and III were made by Paul Jackson Productions, with subsequent series produced by the writers' own company Grant Naylor Productions for [[BBC North]]. All eight series were broadcast on BBC Two. At the beginning of series IV, production moved from BBC North's [[New Broadcasting House (Manchester)|New Broadcasting House]] in [[Manchester]] to [[Shepperton Studios|Shepperton]].<ref>Howarth & Lyons (1993) pp. 13–14.</ref>
