Might As Well (Dimension) Jump News Posted by Seb Patrick on 9th October 2009, 08:34 Many of you never thought you'd see it happen, but that time is here again - Dimension Jump XV is go in a matter of hours. Taking place at the Holiday Inn in Birmingham city centre, it's looking like being the biggest DJ since the fabled Liverpool event of 1998. So we hope you're on your way to Brum RIGHT NOW (or, y'know, when you finish work or whatever). Team G&T will be out in full force, so if you see us, come and say hi - if you're a regular commenter then that goes without saying, but we'd be chuffed and smug if any readers we don't usually speak to also came and had a chat with us. We like to pretend we're famous. We'll have stickers, and everything. We'll also be Twittering the fuck out of the weekend over at @ganymedetitan, and feel free to join us on the hashtag #DJXV. We may even have a few LIVE UPDATEY kind of surprises on the site for those who can't make it - so stay tuned... Read more →
“You might think that, I couldn’t possibly comment” News Posted by Seb Patrick on 25th September 2009, 10:52 This week's TOS update features an interview with the channel head of Dave, Steve North. As you might expect, the majority of it is Steve mutually backslapping about Red Dwarf - both as a property in general (he clearly knows his stuff, talking about series VIII viewing figures and the like) and the success it's had on Dave. But you're still going to want to read it. Trust me. Read more →

Red Dwarf : Back to Earth is an absolutely HUGE FUCKING SUCCESS. As far as I can see, it's second only to Torchwood as the highest ever rated UK-originated non-sports multichannel broadcast.* That's a lot of conditions, but it's still far more impressive than any of us could ever have anticipated. *EDIT : "Fourth-highest", according to Mike Warren's research. Still, though. Bear in mind this is comparing overnights to final figures... Read more →
