Video DwarfCast #1 – Coral Canvass Livestream Spectacular Features Posted by Ian Symes on 17th February 2023, 11:40 That was a heck of a night. To celebrate Red Dwarf‘s 35th anniversary, fans from around the world (well, some of them) gathered together around a cosy YouTube window, marking the occasion with Ganymede & Titan’s first ever live video DwarfCast. The main topic of conversation was the Coral Canvass, with lots of analysis and in-depth stats about the latest definitive ranking of episodes. Next up was Clochebusters, a brand new and wholly original Red Dwarf game show, before the evening was rounded off by a lovely batch of live waffles. But there was so much more to discuss, as a very intriguing statement was released just as we went live, changing the agenda significantly. All this plus some vintage Dwarfy adverts, the rarely-seen visuals that accompany one of our best DwarfCast stings, and a series of catastrophic yet hilarious technical failures. And it’s all available to catch up with whenever you like on demand: We’d recommend watching on YouTube itself so that you can see the chat replay in real time. It’s particularly fun to watch the explosion of activity when the breaking news breaks! There’s also chapters embedded if you want to skip to certain sections. A huge thank you once more to everyone who came along, for however long, especially those who joined the chat and gave us a lovely warm fuzzy feeling inside. And an extra special thanks to Jason Smedley, Niki Hutchinson and Quinn for bearing with us and being thoroughly brilliant Clochebusters contestants. One heck of a night.
The Clochebusters intro sequence alone would have made this a legendary Dwarfcast. But everything else on top gives it instant Hall Of Fame status.
Me and my brother used to spin around pretending to be the ITV Schools clock ident. You guys are the absolute kings of pointless nostalgia.
Loved the show guys, it was brilliant from start to finish! and having the announcement to chat about just made it all the better! Cant wait to see what comes next from Rob and Doug (though I think its pretty obvious 😉)
We’re so pleased with the title sequence, we’ve now published Clochebusters as a standalone video, now with fewer awkward pauses and catastrophic technical failures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzj3UcJnNr4
Nice job on the easter egg at the end of the Clochebusters vid. Great stuff. “Episode 1” is very promising. There’s even a Clochebusters playlist.
Starting to feel attacked at this point Cappsy, I *think* your crossed fingers at the end of the livestream just meant ‘please let me be about to play the right video this time’, but if it’s any consolation I liked how they served as a final little reference to Rob and Doug’s statement.

Yeah, that was a ‘i hope i don’t cock this up’ finger cross.
I feel like from now on, whenever you try to play a video for other people, there will be at least a 10% chance for the Clochebusters intro to play instead, irrespective of whether the video file for that is even accessible on the device you’re using.
