Please install a Intergalactic Exit and Restroom at these coordinates Latitude 51.412527 Longitude -0.476551 I expect to see many drunken Intergalactic travelers pissing on DN Sr & Jr cars Grant Naylor Productions Ltd Address: Suite 950, Shepperton Studios, Studios Road Postcode: TW17 0QD City/Town: Shepperton (Surrey) As per story below http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Red-Dwarf-Series-10/17622 I have to drink light beer now! Not Happy October 18, 2012 at 2:03 am #202480 Pecospete666Participant Found some Jamesons to ease that Michelobe Amber Ultra light beer. Luck of the Irish Still What the Fuck the Aussies get it before Americans? I hope theres no World War Three because we are not going to save your ass a third time! I!m realy pissed about this.:) e October 18, 2012 at 2:22 am #202481 John HoareParticipant YOU ARE A TIT LYNDSAY October 18, 2012 at 2:32 am #202482 Pecospete666Participant What the frack! Why are you up at this hour? October 18, 2012 at 2:33 am #202483 Pecospete666Participant Man what kind of beating did you take wi th that name? October 18, 2012 at 4:07 am #202484 SlainmonkeyParticipant You moan about us Australian’s getting it before the US as if we should get everything last. There could be a great number of issues as to why the US is getting it late, it could even be down do issues with distribution. If that is the case emailing Grant Naylor Productions won’t do any good because there is little that they could do about it. October 18, 2012 at 4:18 am #202485 Pecospete666Participant You should get it along with ever body else! It ‘s just it was the US PBS are the ones that saved it back in 1979 you probley not even born then! October 18, 2012 at 4:21 am #202486 SlainmonkeyParticipant You are correct, I wasn’t born yet October 18, 2012 at 4:25 am #202487 Pecospete666Participant I have no problem with the Aussie getting it! but give me a brake who’s audience is larger? October 18, 2012 at 4:37 am #202488 SlainmonkeyParticipant Well as I said, it’s most likely less to do with any decisions made on behalf of Grant Naylor Productions and more issues with distribution or licensing. Red Dwarf was pretty popular here….though I would imagine that the US might have a bigger audience due to population reasons. I guess it’s more how it reads more then what you actually said….disregard what I said. October 18, 2012 at 11:07 am #202493 Chris StokesParticipant The US PBS stations saved Red Dwarf in 1979? Am I reading that right? October 18, 2012 at 11:37 am #202495 Ian SymesKeymaster I’ve a feeling that trying to reason with Pecospete is a waste of time, but why on Earth would GNP deliberately deny Americans the chance to give them money? For every reason under the sun, I’m sure they’d want it to be broadcast and released in the US as soon as possible, and any delay is clearly not the fault of anyone connected to the show. October 18, 2012 at 11:53 am #202496 A BaileyParticipant Australia is the same dvd region as the UK, so if they don’t release something here around the same time as the UK they will get tons of imports. edit: Reading up it seems that Australia is technically a different reason, which is bizarre since I’ve never encountered a British dvd that wouldn’t work here. October 18, 2012 at 12:47 pm #202497 Ian SymesKeymaster Australia and Europe are different regions, but most UK DVDs tend to be encoded in both Region 2 and 4. I don’t know why. October 18, 2012 at 3:24 pm #202498 Seb PatrickKeymaster Yeah, the RDX DVD is encoded (as I think all the previous ones were – not sure about BTE, mind) in Regions 2 and 4, but there will also then be a separate dedicated R4 release for Australia down the line. The US release, meanwhile, is being withheld specifically to annoy fans. Every time someone like pecospete complains here or on TOS, we add another week on. October 18, 2012 at 4:02 pm #202500 Pecospete666Participant Should I go stand in the corner? So who makes this decision? If it was mine I would want to strike while the iron is hot! 2013 for release,new people will forget about it! You know our attention span is about 7 days! My beef is the over the air broadcasts, and maybe it will never be aired in the US.BTE didn’t Now I will go back into my corner! Serb were you kindergarten teacher? October 18, 2012 at 4:14 pm #202501 Seb PatrickKeymaster I estimate we’re now looking at December 2016 for a US broadcast. Keep on truckin’! October 18, 2012 at 4:17 pm #202502 Pete Part ThreeParticipant >Should I go stand in the corner? Only if it stops you typing drivel. October 18, 2012 at 5:10 pm #202504 PhilParticipant >Serb Racist. October 18, 2012 at 5:11 pm #202505 Pecospete666Participant Maybe I should go into stasis and you can send me a JMC mail pod with the Dvd in it! October 18, 2012 at 5:43 pm #202508 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Or maybe WE could go into stasis for three million years. Knowing our luck, you’ll probably be brought back as a hologram… I JEST. October 18, 2012 at 5:48 pm #202510 Pecospete666Participant Finally a answer! Doug Naylor (@DougRDNaylor) 10/18/12 9:01 AM @pecospete_666 I don’t sell Red Dwarf X to the U.S.- BBCWW do. They’re in talks with various networks. Get tweeting, prove there’s interest I call off his intergalatic exit and putting it at the BBCWW October 18, 2012 at 5:54 pm #202511 SlainmonkeyParticipant See it’s BBCWW’s fault……told you that it was out of GNP’s hands October 18, 2012 at 5:56 pm #202512 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Why not the various networks that have to buy it? Surely you need to prove the interest to them, and not the people who are already trying to sell it? October 18, 2012 at 6:00 pm #202513 Seb PatrickKeymaster >Finally a answer! You mean apart from all the times the same answer was given before that? October 18, 2012 at 6:12 pm #202514 Ben PaddonParticipant I’m still hoping BBC America pick it up and market the shit out of it. October 18, 2012 at 6:25 pm #202516 Pecospete666Participant >You mean apart from all the times the same answer was given before that? Where? I have never seen this answer before! The last I saw was PBS release about the same time as UK! I have already contacted BBCWW they have a enquire on DVD releases, Now I will have to apologise to GNP for my rude posts. SORRY GNP October 18, 2012 at 6:50 pm #202521 mickParticipant > Maybe I should go into stasis Try a fucking airlock you gibbering hat-wearing spastic. October 18, 2012 at 8:46 pm #202535 Ben PaddonParticipant Bastard! October 18, 2012 at 9:04 pm #202540 KarnieParticipant DISCLAIMER: The ravings of Pecospete666 does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the average American Red Dwarf fan. October 18, 2012 at 9:08 pm #202541 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Pecospete666, you do know that this site isn’t run by GNP, right? So apologising on here is pretty futile. You’ll want to tweet whoever you’ve been rude to and say sorry there. October 18, 2012 at 11:38 pm #202543 AlexParticipant He already tweeted Doug directly and had a go at him… October 19, 2012 at 12:05 am #202547 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Exactly, he should apologise to Doug, not just leave it at SORRY GNP on G&T. October 19, 2012 at 1:05 am #202553 AlexParticipant I wasn’t disagreeing, I was pointing out how far this ridiculousness had gone. October 19, 2012 at 1:12 am #202554 JoParticipant >Try a fucking airlock you gibbering hat-wearing spastic. Oh, Mick. I love you! October 19, 2012 at 1:14 am #202555 genericnerdyusernameParticipant >I wasn’t disagreeing, I was pointing out how far this ridiculousness had gone. Sorry, I was in mid-argument on facebook when I posted, didn’t mean to let the surliness seep into this. Apologies. October 19, 2012 at 1:58 am #202559 Pecospete666Participant Hang Him, Hang Him High! This post is getting to sound like a Clint Eastwood movie I did send DGN a tweet! If you want answers go to the top! Now all the Americans know who has control of the show and who to ask when they going to see it,BBCWW. They have contacted me and said I would get an answer in 3 days! Some Vogon Poetry for Mick Mick Mick you think your such big Prick But really your just a little Dick, Mick October 19, 2012 at 2:21 am #202564 Danny StephensonKeymaster You really ARE a Cliff. October 19, 2012 at 2:24 am #202567 Ian SymesKeymaster I nominate this thread for hall of fame status. October 19, 2012 at 2:39 am #202570 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Surely the BBCWW aren’t the ones you want to contact? It’s the American buyers who have the option of buying the show, right?

October 19, 2012 at 2:58 am #202574 Pecospete666Participant When was RDX going to be shown in the US October 19, 2012 at 3:00 am #202575 Ian SymesKeymaster Why are you asking a DVD distribution company about television broadcasts? October 19, 2012 at 3:02 am #202576 Pecospete666Participant That was the only acess that came up for BBCWW Let see what they say. October 21, 2012 at 8:33 am #202672 Ben PaddonParticipant I imagine they’ll tell you to sod off. But, y’know. Politely. October 29, 2012 at 5:39 pm #203016 DaveParticipant You are right to be upset, PecosPete. It’s appalling. Those of us who live in the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand have never had to wait ages to see episodes of Star Trek, Futurama, Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse, The West Wing, The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, ER, etc., or taken a ridiculous extreme Farscape (which ironically Australia waited over a year to see a show that they themselves had made). No, we had American imports transmitted directly into our frontal lobes the instant they left the edit suite. Get a grip. I’m not suggesting that you should be made to wait just because we have. On the contrary, I genuinely believe these sorts of delays lead to an increase in piracy, but have a bit of humility about it. “Still What the Fuck the Aussies get it before Americans?” Yeah, why not? Because you somehow feel you deserve it more? “I have no problem with the Aussie (sic) getting it! but give me a brake (sic) who’s (sic) audience is larger?” I have absolutely no idea, but I think the Australia and New Zealand both broadcast BBC imports on their main channels therefore giving them a far bigger potential percentage of the audience and maybe even a bigger audience overall than a curio hidden away on a PBS station. You should apologise to Doug and Australia if you haven’t already and bring a little silence to this discussion. You have done a very good job of souring the experience of having our favourite TV show back on the air. I look forward to you being a dim and distant memory. You should probably worry more about Mitt Romney being elected and dismantling PBS before they have a chance to show Series X at all… October 29, 2012 at 6:59 pm #203020 Pecospete666Participant J.C. famous words FUCK OFF October 29, 2012 at 7:35 pm #203021 Danny StephensonKeymaster J.C. famous words FUCK OFF What? October 29, 2012 at 7:40 pm #203022 genericnerdyusernameParticipant What a well-rounded rebuttal. (IN CASE PECOSPETE CAN’T TELL, I’M BEING VERY SARCASTIC.)
