Hattie Hayridge at Karaoke Circus! / 12.02.10

Hattie did a belting version of the Beatles’ “Oh Darling” at Karaoke Circus, London’s very best night out. But don’t take it from me: here’s video proof!

SOME NEW RED DWARF TAT IN THE SHOPS SOON / 31.01.10

As headed up by Dave on the forum… lovely stuff. Six (judging by the number of buttons) random Dwarf sound clips on a daft little keyring type device. The phrases are apparently (TBC), but will be chosen from a conveniently-included list. I hope they include the Princess Bonjela one, that’s one of the few good lines from VII. These things are of course completely daft and pointless, but they’re also (judging by how many different franchises now have them) pretty popular, so it’s nice to see Dwarf get one.

Just in case you’re thinking about it, though, I still wouldn’t trust FPI with my card details. The other Forbidden Planet should be fine, though.

Doctor Dwarf : The End of Time / 09.01.10

Doctor Who and Red Dwarf mashups are nothing new, nor are they that surprising - there’s a lot of crossover between the fandoms (as evidenced by our forum) and ever since the revived series began we’ve been pointing out “amusing” connections, be they casting coincidences, dialogue similarities or simply just us taking the piss. And there are a slew of videos on Youtube that consist of people setting Who clips to the Dwarf opening theme. Most of them aren’t very good.

Dan O'Bannon 1946-2009 / 18.12.09

No direct Red Dwarf connection here, but as the co-writer of Alien and, perhaps more pertinently, Dark Star, it’s safe to say that Dan O’Bannon - who has passed away at the age of 63 - should be counted as one of the most influential figures in late ’70s/early ’80s sci-fi, and consequently can be said to be one of those people without whom the show might not actually even exist. RIP.

Lady Manners School Orchestra perform the Red Dwarf Space Suite / 13.12.09

This is brilliant.

The children of Lady Manners School in Bakewell, possibly at the whim of an heroic music teacher called Mr Steadman, perform a ten minute medley of Red Dwarf music, taking in various versions of the theme tune, Tongue Tied, Rimmer Munchkin Song and Ace Rimmer Theme. And it’s superb. Quite possibly the second best video ever to be recorded in a school sports hall.

New registrations closed / 01.12.09

Some of you may have noticed recent, ahem, ‘issues’ we’ve been having with the site. This is due to a frankly obscene amount of spam users creating new accounts every few minutes and clogging the shit out of the database.

As a result, we’ve now closed all new registrations until we roll out the upgraded site during the Christmas holidays. If there’s anyone out there who wants a new account then give me a bell via cappsy at gmail and I’ll sort you out good and propah.

No. No, no, please, no... I don't wanna be Duane Dibbley! / 04.11.09

Danny John-Jules has been posting some interesting tweets today…

I was wearing my Duane Dibbley teeth today for the first time in over 10 tears. People at the studio who didn’t know the character gagged!

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to tell you why I was being Duane today…. I’ll have to ask

I can’t get Doug, he’s still in the studio. But I will tell you one I get the all clear

i still can’t get hold of the powers that be. I’ll get sued if I say something I shouldn’t.

Some news, there / 02.11.09

From the Executive Producer that last year brought you the first proper indication of new Dwarf comes… some more news.

We're back. Kicking exactly the same amount of bottom as previously, or what! / 27.10.09

If you are reading this then CONGRATULATIONS our new server has now propagated with your ISP. Why not drop them an email and give them a big thank you? The forum and comments are now back open, so you are now safe to go back to clogging our bandwidth with your worthless prattle.

Calendar Confusion / 27.10.09

UPDATE! Read more…

Now, what the fuck is going on here? A website called calendars.org.uk - which I assume is some sort of British calendar organisation - has listed a 2010 Red Dwarf calendar! But, erm, the picture is of a slightly altered version of the 2008 calendar - identical other than the numbers “08” being replaced by the numbers “10”.
