    So, I was tinkering with YNYN (DON’T ASK WHY), trying to pull out dialogue and clear it up, switch to stereo audio for music inserts, colour grade and bring some vitality and life back to the picture etc… but you can’t polish a turd, let’s be fair.

    Would the incomparable Messrs Capps, Hoare, Jones, Northrop, Patrick, Ross and Symes happen to have the dodgy old Hi8 tapes at hand to assemble a new master?

    Or, or would you all be up for remaking it in glorious high definition? With stereo sound, crystal clear visuals, lessons learnt and so on.

    I regret this post as I write it.

    I’m sorry.

    I will now offer to mince myself.

    Ha! I’ve had it in the back of my mind to remaster it myself, to give it an actual grade and sound mix, as I have now got significantly more than the three months’ of editing experience that I had at the time. Alas, the Mini DV tapes are long gone – they were placed in the possession of someone I’m no longer in contact with.

    You’ll all just have to refill it then!!

    I think you should definitely just add a filmic effect, add black bars to the top and bottom, have a non-CGI skutter whiz past and edit out some of the best jokes.

    I can’t edit my post to correct the awful typo.

    I was thinking more of a completely transparent cash-grab of a reboot with a female cast and John Hoare as ‘John Hoare’, the undervalued yet strangely alluring secretary.

    I think they should all get together to improvise an unplugged version and see what they can remember.

    Right, I’ve had a listen to the audio for YNYN and it can be brought up a few notches as a starting point through careful noise reduction on some elements, EQ, de-clicking and all that. Replacement of music and foley with stereo and clearer elements is a little trickier but thankfully, most of the parts to be replaced don’t run over dialogue and where there is overlap, it’ll come down to two choices.

    The first is to get a fresh voice dub for a scattering of lines from mostly Tanya and John or the latter choice, which is to leave it as it is. But that’s no fun. The Red Dwarf engine sound should play gently over the entire film, it will hide a lot of background noise differences as shots are placed together and give a more coherent feel to it all.

    Deleted scenes could be incorporated back in considering there’s no ten minute limit anymore and fresh, sparkling new titles can be generated.

    Kill me.

    And that final written punchline. Sort that so that we can read it properly.

    You know what I hate the most about TM: YNYN? It’s really good. I watched the Fan Films featured when I was watching the RDVII DVD last week. It even made me laugh.

    I now work with a bloke called Andy McGregor. He has no idea why occasionally I mispronounce his surname terribly and then chuckle to myself.

    Some of the jokes are good, and some of the performances are decent. Everything else is a fucking shambolic disaster.

    John’s pronunciation of ‘HAPPENING’ is fucking outstanding, it clips the microphone.

    Don’t forget to add a skutter running across the bottom of the screen.

    It’s got the edge on Dear Dave, then.

    Some of you have thought the announcement today would be a remastered Yeah, No, Yeah, No but that’s not going to be the case.

    Because today’s announcement is about TWO new editions of Yeah, No, Yeah, No.

    *CROWD ERUPTS INTO VIOLENCE*

    It’s been all about blackmailing the guys back for another run and that didn’t take too long and obviously Seb was an issue because of tagging and his curfew.

    We’re making Yeah, No, Yeah, No, Yeah, No this year and then having a nice break of forty-five minutes to nip down the Lord Byron and back up to make Yeah, No, Yeah, No, Yeah, No, Yeah, No.
