A Red Dwarf, Alan Partridge Crossover?

[Trimmer Ex]

Do you think there is ever a possibility that Red Dwarf could crossover with Alan Partridge in a future episode? Maybe a special.

Imagine they are on Starbug and Kry10 is all like “Sir we are picking up something in space, i will open comms” and the comms open and they hear “A-HA!” and there he is floating in space.

that would be super funny. Will Rob or Douglas make this do you think?

[Dave]

Yes, I think almost certainly it’s the plot of the next special.

[Jonathan Capps]

“Sir we are picking up something in space”

Classic Kry10.

[Ben Kirkham]

“Will Rob or Douglas make this do you think?”

No.

Having said that, I’m interested in the proposal. Please flesh this out for us some more, Trimmer Ex.

How did Alan get into space?
How is he breathing if he’s floating in space?
Where in Alan’s chronology is this?
How can he communicate with Starbug?
Is he in his sports casual wear?
Pringle jumper?
The Alan Partridge Blazer badge and tie combination pack?

What would the plot of the episode be? Does it impact on our characters?

Thanks.

Pitch it to baby cow!

KNOWING ME² KNOWING YOU

Two apparently identical holograms of Alan Partridge appear on Red Dwarf, and immediately start getting on each other’s nerves.

[Shoes Have Soles]

Er no.

Love both of them though.

Chris Barrie and Steve Coogan might be casual acquaintances given both of them started their careers being impressionists.

Well I would leave the actual writting to Douglas but I can give my ideas

How did Alan get into space?-

I would say he was at the petrol station and his friend who works at the petrol station (the sausage in the mug man) accidently blows up a pump and Alan ends up in space from the explosion.

How is he breathing if he’s floating in space?

I would think he is in his car that says cock on the side and some air is trapped inside cause he didnt roll down the window or anything

Where in Alan’s chronology is this?

I think it is sometime after the movie Alan Papa and before the one where he is on the show with the lady

How can he communicate with Starbug?

He picks up the signal on an old Nokia I think

Is he in his sports casual wear?
Pringle jumper?
The Alan Partridge Blazer badge and tie combination pack?

Def the Blazer and Tie I would say. He has to look fancy

What would the plot of the episode be? Does it impact on our characters?

Hmmm Well he def comes on board Red Dwarf. Thats all I got. Maybe Kry10 accidently mops him or something?

[Ben Kirkham]

I think that’d make a good mobisode or promo advert, a bit like the AA adverts. Maybe a comic relief sketch? I can definitely see it in a cartoonish way but I don’t think it’d ever fit into the main series.

No a full hour and half special

[Goldfish Toes]

Yes, I think almost certainly it’s the plot of the next special.

Are you for serious? I was not expecting this to happen.

[Spaceworm Jim]

Are you for serious? I was not expecting this to happen.

How come? Dave posts here quite a lot and his speculation has never been less than 100% correct.

I see yes alright

[International Debris]

Bring back Jawscvmcdia all is forgiven.

Nobody Does it Butter

Hurrah! A Partridge thread and an opportunity to resurrect the butter pun is the most potent of Phil bait.

[evilmorwen]

do i count as a regular yet?

[Jonathan Capps]

I count regulars as anyone who I could not say when they started posting without having to check, so you pass on that basis.

[Goldfish Toes]

Will still be name Red Dwarf or Alan Partidge theme name? Will theme tune be same old or new or some mix? I am surprised.

[Stephen Abootman]

“He picks up the signal on an old Nokia I think”

Ah, so he moved on from the problems of the battery life of the Ericsson, good.

[Rudolph]

People always go on about space, but people forget you can get lost in space.

[Trimmer Ex]

Actually that is a good point maybe space is too scary for this. Maybe the special can be set in Sheffield instead

[Ben Kirkham]

Ian’s post = hall of fame status.

[International Debris]

Can we just note that he’s just called us a bunch of Tories?

[Pete Part Three]

And he’s not the Brummie?

I see what you mean

[Goldfish Toes]

Lost in space make me think Joey from friends and maybe should be a cross of Red Dwarf and Friends and the boys drink coffee and Friends boys go in space!

Lol are you for serious here? I love sheffield!

[Pembers]

A Red Dwarf/Other sitcom crossover thread is the greatest idea ever.

What about….It’s Always Sunny on Red Dwarf?

The gang tries to create a teleporter to stop them having to walk to the bar and back for work each day but they balls it up and end up on Red Dwarf.

Charlie and Kryten fight over janitorial duties, Dennis and Rimmer just sneer at everyone, Cat chases Dee around all day cos she’s a bird (LOL) Mac and Lister just drink beer and Frank and Holly argue about the rules of poker.

At the end the Sunny gang are accidentally sucked out of an airlock and into a nearby sun, whereby Lister quips ‘Well they like it Sunny, but that didn’t look fun to me’ the other dwarfers chuckle and then completely forget they ever existed.

Anal dirge prat covers Dwarfer rods

Oh that joke was made about a week ago. Whoops.

Ian’s post = hall of fame status.

Seconded. As a new account myself, even I think it might be one the single funniest things I’ve ever seen on the internet ever – and I’ve been online since 1995.

You have not seen Only Fools are Horses Christmas special? That is also very funny!

This Timewave.

[Goldfish Toes]

Some man suggest Police Academy but now it is gone. Sorry for the loss. I do not like Police Academy although. I hear terrible things about Steve Guttenberg at times.
