RDXDVD?

Fuck HMV and their prices.

They should use a picture of the bunkroom as the cover for RDX, and let it seep round onto the spine, then with the next series (fingers crossed!) they can have a different cover… but then the spine continues with the bunkroom. That way if Dave pull the plug the spine wont look silly! Genius me.

Connell’ idea is interesting, though considering how often Red Dwarf changed its locations and format Back in the Day we’d probably reach Series XII and find that bunkroom set is no longer in use, for whatever reason.

Not on US Amazon yet. Bastards!

Sadly the Tesco I got my Series 1 DVD from is long gone, however the Iceland (yes Iceland!) I got my first VHS (SIIB1) from is still very much around.

Iceland! cool, Bad joke do you mean the country?

Oh, I get it! I get jokes!

Reykjavík?

I think he works at our place. One of the agency staff.

Have just pre-ordered my Blu-Ray at HMV for £17. Had a £10 voucher so it only cost me £7. With it being HMV, I am hoping it’ll arrive the Saturday before release. These days Amazon are just unreliable in that regard, I’m getting pre-ordered DVDs the Wednesday and Thursday after release.

>Depends how good the series is.

Christmas budget box-set idea – Red Dwarf: Just The Ones Worth Bothering With.

Any word on whether the Bluray will be region-free? Or will I have to just import the DVD and wait until Best Buy gets the American version of the BD in?

The Daily Mail may dispute that statement.

If the ‘powers that be’ say anything other then “yes, do them, obviously” they the biggest fucking idiots.

>If the ‘powers that be’ say anything other then “yes, do them, obviously” they the biggest fucking idiots.

If it’s the same ‘powers that be’ who thought #Vindalunar was a good idea, then I’m not holding my breath.

Definitely want a Doug one. How much does it cost to record these things?

> If it ended up being a choice between cast or Doug… Doug.

This is a tough call. There is already a ‘docco with teeth’ that presumably has lots of info from Doug, so I’ll go with cast commentary. But the main thing is that there must be some kind of commentary. There *must* be.

…Mustn’t there?

A Doug/Richard/Ellard one would be acceptable…;)

If they can’t get the cast together, fair enough, but it would be a huge shame!

> Firmly on the Doug side, if we can only have one. We’ve got lots of cast commentaries on the existing DVDs, only one (true) writer/director commentary.

Indeed.

The very fact that commentaries weren’t a definite thing form the beginning is very worrying. They’re KEY to any Red Dwarf DVD.

>This is a tough call. There is already a ‘docco with teeth’ that presumably has lots of info from Doug, so I’ll go with cast commentary.

Likewise – I love Doug’s insight but the entertainment value of the cast commentaries is massive. Although logically speaking, I guess if money is the issue it’s going to be far more economical to have a Doug-only commentary.

I really hope there is a cast commentary, they are one of my favourite parts of the dvds.

So far I think its only Danny thats been in every commentary for every episode and we need that to continue.

I would go with a Doug commentary, but I’d be thinking of a cast one.

I’m not against that idea, but I can just imagine Doug starting several good points only to be interrupted by Danny blathering on about ham salads.

>At this point, I’d easily be able to live without a cast commentary, but it would be really gutting if we get nothing from Doug (well, apart for the giant documentary).

This.

>The standard set by previous DVDs is too damn high!

I think especially after the BtE DVD, I’m half-expecting, as well as hoping, Doug will do commentaries. He must know by now how much we’d love to hear him do them and it can’t be a case of he really doesn’t like to do them considering he recorded several for the ‘Bodysnatcher’ DVD too.

Even if he just does commentaries for select episodes of RDX, I’d be happy. Though all six would obviously be a real treat!
