More information can be found in the Liverpool Echo.

Somehow I never made the connection that it was the same actor in Lock Stock, he was very good in that too.

October 2, 2023 at 12:04 pm #289338 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Demons and Angels, as well. Eh? Come again? October 2, 2023 at 12:29 pm #289342 Flap JackParticipant Yeah, this was a shock to hear about. 56 is no age. I don’t know where I’d put sperm-in-law Lister in the pantheon of guest roles, but he was good, and he was better than the other Jake for sure. … I am also curious to know what role Jake Abraham played in Demons & Angels. Maybe he was the one who really directed it after Juliet May was gone. October 2, 2023 at 1:22 pm #289344 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant I think Jake was Low Lister in D & A – according to TV Tropes he doubles as Low Lister when he and Craig are in the same scene?.

My mother’s daughter and my half-sister – 10 months old (brain tumor that would have started when in my mother’s womb). My maternal grandmother – dead at 50 from colon cancer.

I don’t know for sure whether or not he’s in the episode (I never thought that was Craig who fell out of the cupboard at the end), but sites like TV Tropes and IMDb are riddled with Red Dwarf misinformation. October 2, 2023 at 3:06 pm #289347 JenuallParticipant The two episodes were filmed one after the other so I guess it’s not totally out of the question, but it does seem a stretch that they would need him. There’s not really any point where you see both Lister’s on screen together that would warrant it I don’t think? Cupboard at the end is a cut away shot so would have just been filmed separately and when they’re together in the drive/science room I don’t think you really see any shots that would need a “double” are there? October 2, 2023 at 3:19 pm #289348 DaveParticipant I often wonder with Demons & Angels how much of it was actually shot on the night, given the number of split screen shots and costume changes that would be involved. I’m kind of surprised they didn’t just do a full Bodyswap no-audience job for that one. October 2, 2023 at 4:12 pm #289358 clemParticipant He, the smeg, was perfectly cast as an alternate Lister. RIP It says on TUA too that he was a “Lister stand In” in D&A. Somehow I never made the connection that it was the same actor in Lock Stock, he was very good in that too. It’s a cracking film. Stephen “Bear Strangler McGee” Marcus is in it too. And Danny of course. October 2, 2023 at 4:19 pm #289361 DaveParticipant It’s a cracking film. Stephen “Bear Strangler McGee” Marcus is in it too. And Danny of course. Yeah, they were more recognisable for me at the time. It spawned a lot of inferior copycats but I remember loving the original when it first came out. October 2, 2023 at 4:21 pm #289363 Flap JackParticipant Well huh, I guess it’s true then. Cool. October 2, 2023 at 4:36 pm #289365 RainbowGazelleParticipant That’s a shame. Seemed like a smeggin’ good Lister. Cancer sucks. October 2, 2023 at 9:14 pm #289377 RunawayTrainParticipant Oof, that’s so sad. I know cancer in general doesn’t care about age, but 56 *is* young for prostate cancer. My heart goes out to his family and friends. October 3, 2023 at 12:42 pm #289414 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant “Doctor Who” still holds the most tragic cast or guest actor “record” – Darren Plant, Baby Benton in “The Time Monster”, died of SIDS before his first birthday. October 3, 2023 at 4:58 pm #289424 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Poor baby Darren. That’s just so tragic. Jesus. October 4, 2023 at 4:13 am #289451 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant As for the Twilight Zone, the “record” that no one would want to have: Judith Barsi (1978-88) (Barsi appears on screen in an installment of a TZ incarnation. The younger Renee Chen and Myca Le who died with Vic Morrow don’t appear in the finished 1983 TZ movie) October 4, 2023 at 5:43 am #289452 WarbodogParticipant October 4, 2023 at 5:59 am #289453 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant The only thing i got off was the loo about 6 hours later… October 4, 2023 at 10:21 am #289459 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant October 4, 2023 at 11:22 am #289461 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant home made or Pizza Hut, i wonder? October 4, 2023 at 9:02 pm #289482 RudolphParticipant As for the Twilight Zone, the “record” that no one would want to have: Judith Barsi (1978-88) Not to be too morbid, but I suppose Red Dwarf’s is Francine Walker-Lee, one of the handmaidens from Terrorform. She was killed in a car accident three years later.

She was killed in a car accident three years later. Agreed. With Judith, you only have to hear her work in the Land Before Time or All Dogs.. to realise just how much you want to invent a time drive and sic a rogue simulant onto Jozsef Barsi. At least that “father” died the way he deserved – alone and unloved. October 4, 2023 at 9:49 pm #289488 DaveParticipant Not to be too morbid I think that ship has sailed by this point. October 4, 2023 at 10:49 pm #289490 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant October 4, 2023 at 11:06 pm #289492 WarbodogParticipant October 4, 2023 at 11:19 pm #289493 UnrumbleParticipant October 4, 2023 at 11:49 pm #289496 Boy Was I Suckered… Into Using my Kidneys as a Full StopParticipant October 5, 2023 at 12:06 am #289497 MoonlightParticipant Robert was great in that episode of Bottom.

October 6, 2023 at 2:46 am #289514 RunawayTrainParticipant Does no-one else think the screencaps and captions kind of alters the tone of the subject matter of this thread? Yyyyyup :/ October 6, 2023 at 10:00 am #289520 Ian SymesKeymaster Yes, I don’t really understand what is happening in this thread at all. October 6, 2023 at 1:48 pm #289527 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Does anyone else remember when this thread was about the passing of Jake Abraham? October 7, 2023 at 8:56 pm #289556 JenuallParticipant But yeah, I do think there’s a time and a place for reining in the memery Author Replies Viewing 35 replies - 1 through 35 (of 35 total) Scroll to top • Scroll to Recent Forum Posts You must be logged in to reply to this topic.
