DwarfCast 139 – The Promised Land Commentary DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 21st July 2021, 18:04 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes IT. IS. DONE. I feel like we've been going on about milestones quite a lot recently, but to add to our previous BBC-era accomplishment we have now finally recorded a commentary for every single extant episode of TV Red Dwarf! Whether or not this ends up being the last ever remains to be seen, but let's hope we'll be returning to our longest running feature sooner rather than never. Before that, though, join Ian, Danny and Cappsy in this feature length commentary of the Dave era's finest, The Promised Land. Read more →
DwarfCast 138 – Book Club #13: Backwards (Part Two) DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 2nd July 2021, 14:09 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes Yes, I'm sorry, I know we asked you to smoke us some kippers and I realise that we gave you a very specific idea about the sort of time you'd expect us back, but sometimes these things take a little longer than expected, ok? The kippers will be fine, we'll have them cold in some kedgeree or something. Please, stop crying. Yes, that's right, your three favourite ace holes have returned with the next instalment of the DwarfCast Book Club, which this time is all about part 2 of Backwards, Smoke me a Kipper, I'll be Back for Breakfast. Why is Louis Pemberton a perfect human being? How did Lewis Pemberton save Red Dwarf? Is Ace really all that great when compared to Lewis Pemberton? Lewis Pemberton? Ian, Danny and Cappsy discuss all that, and more! Read more →
DwarfCast 137 – Skipper Commentary DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 11th June 2021, 11:38 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes Another day, another DwarfCast milestone as we have finally completed our commentaries on all traditionally lengthed Red Dwarf episodes, marking an end to a series of casts going back to 2006. Unless Series XIII comes along, of course. Also, we're going to do The Promised Land in a few weeks. And we'll likely revisit some old episodes if we feel like it. But still. Anyway, join Ian, Cappsy and Danny as they jump between dimensions to see if they can find a reality in which Doug remembers he wrote Dimension Jump and Stoke me a Clipper as they have a jolly old time talking over the final episode of Red Dwarf XI, Skipper.

DwarfCast 136 – Book Club #12: Backwards (Part One) DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 29th May 2021, 20:09 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes Welcome to another episode of the Bulc Koob TsacFrawd! It feels like a very, very long time ago that we finished Better than Life but finally we're getting to its sequel! Er, again. Because when it comes to Red Dwarf, sensible continuity is just something that happens to other franchises. So, join Ian Symes, Danny Stephenson and Jonathan Capps as they start their journey into the weird and wonderful world of Rob Grant's Backwards, because All Good Boys Deserve Fatuous opinions of twats.

DwarfCast 135 – M-Corp Commentary DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 17th May 2021, 19:11 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes We continue our triumphant victory lap of commentaries as we mop up the last few episodes with M-Corp, officially the second best episode of Series XII and a solid favourite of the site in general. Join Cappsy, Ian and Danny as they hope against hope that they haven't got their microphones mixed up with something entirely less savoury. Read more →
DwarfCast 134 – Book Club #11: Last Human (Part Four) DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 3rd May 2021, 17:07 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes Well, it's been quite a journey but we're finally here: Last Human is finished. I don't think we realised when we started this endeavour just how interesting the revisiting of Doug's solo novel would be, but I think we've all come out of the other side a little wiser and a lot more weary of acronyms. So, join the last human alive Ian Symes, mankind's final hope Danny Stephenson and the universe's one remaining broccoli farmer Jonathan Capps as they discuss the second half of The Rage and reflect on what is most certainly a very weird and sometimes frustrating book.

DwarfCast 133 – Mechocracy Commentary DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 20th April 2021, 17:54 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes It's 10pm, polls are closing across the country and G&T are now projecting that the next DwarfCast will be... Mechocracy! And in the tradition of all good election coverage, we will now force you to listen to some terrible people talk about the results for longer than is strictly necessary, specifically the Right Honourable Cunts of the Scottish NatIanal, Liberal Dannycrats and The Labour & Cappsoperative parties.

DwarfCast 132 – Book Club #10: Last Human (Part Three) DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 9th April 2021, 19:20 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes And so the DwarfCast Book Club advances wearily on, as we continue our re-read (although the failing memories of your hosts means this may as well be a first read) of Doug Naylor's literally seminal novel, Last Human. We're in the final part of the book itself but due to reasons beyond our comprehension it accounts for half of its length so we're splitting it in twain. Join Cappsy, Ian and Danny as they gather round a table at Rita's Kabin and try to figure out what the bloody hell is going on. Read more →
DwarfCast 131 – Timewave Commentary DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 26th March 2021, 17:44 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes Over Ganymede & Titan's long and illustrious life we have seen many milestones. 3 years long service. 6 years long service. 9 years long service. 12 years long service. 15 years long service... 18 years long service. But today we mark the day we officially commentate on the last truly shit episode of Red Dwarf (so far). Its loomed large over us for months as we approached but three heroes have arrived and slew the great beast, probably with some amusingly juxtapositioned song playing in the background. So now, we present to you the defeated corpse... of Timewave. Read more →
DwarfCast 130 – Book Club #9: Last Human (Part Two) DwarfCasts Posted by Jonathan Capps on 12th March 2021, 12:41 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes [Insert Holly line relevant to a delayed thing eventually happening here] Yes, it's finally here! Danny, Ian and Cappsy once again put on their best dust jackets, turn on their pink study lamps and somehow defy the laws of gravity to bring you another DwarfCast Book Club! This time around we're putting the chapter Time Fork to bed (but not before marrying it first) as the crew unwittingly murder hundreds in order to free a dangerous psychopath, and Anton Chekhov becomes the sixth Dwarfer.
