She’s a fan of the show, too. October 18, 2014 at 6:28 pm #210692 Pecospete666Participant Martin Alan “Marty” Feldman October 19, 2014 at 9:18 am #210693 Ben PaddonParticipant Legitimately? Christopher Lloyd. October 19, 2014 at 12:34 pm #210694 siParticipant Paul Whitehouse. Not as big a name as others, but I bet he’d be a cracking guest star. October 20, 2014 at 12:41 am #210695 JonsmadParticipant Bill Bailey. Bill Nighy. Bill Shakespeare. Morray Hunter and John Sparkes to complete the Absolutely appearances. Burt Kwok as Chinesey Chesney. October 20, 2014 at 3:00 pm #210696 siParticipant He was in Tenko. October 21, 2014 at 7:01 pm #210697 siParticipant Nick Frost, Kevin Eldon and Miranda Hart, in an epic Red Dwarf/Hyperdrive crossover episode. October 23, 2014 at 9:40 pm #210700 KietoriumParticipant Oh my god, Chinesey Chesney. You’ve just made my day October 24, 2014 at 8:40 am #210701 RidleyParticipant Taiwan Tony was created by occident #dwarffacts October 24, 2014 at 6:25 pm #210704 pfmParticipant Michelle Keegan, but obviously not as her Corrie character…;) October 25, 2014 at 5:46 am #210708 fozzibear1Participant Nick Frost, Ardal O’Hanlon (sp?), Dawn French, Dara O’Brian, Kylie Minogue (yeah I know but she is surprisingly good when she plays parody versions of herself for comedy shows), Sid James, Wil Wheaton, Jim Parsons (would be better if the character were not a Cooper clone), Sean Astin, Brian Blessed, Jo Brand just to nominate a handful of the ones I think could work well within the premise of Dwarf October 26, 2014 at 11:35 am #210713 Ian SymesKeymaster I think Sid James is unlikely. October 26, 2014 at 11:48 am #210714 siParticipant I think Sid James is unlikely. That’ll be where the ‘or dead’ thing comes into play, I imagine. October 26, 2014 at 2:11 pm #210716 Ian SymesKeymaster Ah yeah. October 28, 2014 at 12:24 pm #210718 anniescribeParticipant Patrick Stewart as Hogey’s brother. October 29, 2014 at 4:31 pm #210720 Paul MullerParticipant Alred Molina and Alan Rickman. October 29, 2014 at 7:21 pm #210721 siParticipant Molina and Rickman? It’ll never work. November 4, 2014 at 2:34 pm #210806 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Norman Lovett November 5, 2014 at 9:02 am #210807 peas_and_cornParticipant He’s the male Hattie Hayridge, isn’t he? November 8, 2014 at 4:17 pm #210809 StilianidesParticipant Bruce Campbell March 25, 2025 at 9:39 pm #303962 RushyParticipant I’m appalled that Paul Darrow never had a guest appearance. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the king of British sci-fi television March 25, 2025 at 11:29 pm #303970 MoonlightParticipant Do we need to be necroposting in so many decade old threads? March 25, 2025 at 11:56 pm #303973 Flap JackParticipant March 26, 2025 at 12:02 am #303974 TechnopeasantParticipant Nick Frost, Kevin Eldon and Miranda Hart, in an epic Red Dwarf/Hyperdrive crossover episode. One out of three ain’t bad. Personally I like that this place is less opposed to necroposting than some (why create a new thread when an old one will do, it keeps things tidy), but yeah it could be spaced out a little. March 26, 2025 at 9:02 am #303985 Ian SymesKeymaster I’m appalled that Paul Darrow never had a guest appearance. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the king of British sci-fi television He was in Rob Grant’s The Strangerers, which is fairly close. March 26, 2025 at 9:23 am #303987 UnrumbleParticipant Personally I like that this place is less opposed to necroposting than some (why create a new thread when an old one will do, it keeps things tidy). Yeah, when it’s a newer member, it seems considerate of them if anything, to see what topics have been discussed rather than creating a swathe of new threads. Not their fault if said topics have been dormant a few years, from before they were on board. March 26, 2025 at 9:30 am #303988 Ian SymesKeymaster Also, this forum is eighteen years old. There is nothing that hasn’t already been discussed, so we might as well add a new voice to the old topics. March 26, 2025 at 12:01 pm #303990 Nick RParticipant March 26, 2025 at 11:18 pm #304053 TechnopeasantParticipant Also, this forum is eighteen years old. There is nothing that hasn’t already been discussed, so we might as well add a new voice to the old topics. Meanwhile Doomworld barks at you if you even read a post that is older than six months… Sounds like Nick Frost will be too busy with some HBO thing to ever guest star now… March 26, 2025 at 11:57 pm #304057 RushyParticipant I was nine years old when this forum got going March 27, 2025 at 1:14 am #304059 TechnopeasantParticipant This could go on for days… March 27, 2025 at 9:12 am #304073 Ian SymesKeymaster G&T itself is 23 this year – I strongly suspect it’s older than a small number of its users. March 27, 2025 at 10:21 am #304077 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant April 5, 2025 at 8:41 pm #304635 siParticipant I was 23 when G&T started. April 5, 2025 at 8:47 pm #304637 TechnopeasantParticipant This place is still going. April 5, 2025 at 8:48 pm #304638 TechnopeasantParticipant The state of the show right now. April 6, 2025 at 10:08 am #304651 JoeParticipant I always thought Bill Bailey would have made a great alternate Holly, or failing that a guest ship’s computer. April 7, 2025 at 11:02 am #304673 sleepeyParticipant I’m glad he wasn’t wasted on Timewave but he could have been the Enconium’s computer April 7, 2025 at 1:13 pm #304675 Nick RParticipant Michelle Keegan, but obviously not as her Corrie character…;) A question for people who were watching Coronation Street in 2009: are there any other actors who were in the soap at that time who might have been a good fit for the Corrie scenes in Back to Earth? The one I had in mind was John Savident (since his Coronation Street character’s way of speaking was pretty close to a sitcom character already). But apparently he’d already left the series all the way back in 2006. If he’d been in Red Dwarf he could have completed the Doctor Who/Blake’s 7/Red Dwarf set (the EGOT’s slightly more prestigious cousin). April 8, 2025 at 9:49 am #304691 Ian SymesKeymaster Sue Cleaver, who played Eileen Grimshaw – an established comedy actor (she was in dinnerladies), and Eileen worked with Lloyd at Street Cars. April 8, 2025 at 10:44 pm #304714 MoonlightParticipant I always thought Bill Bailey would have made a great alternate Holly, or failing that a guest ship’s computer. I remember this being a popular take back in the post-BtE days. April 10, 2025 at 4:19 am #304752 TechnopeasantParticipant she was in dinnerladies I mean, Doug would just complain to her about what they did with all that budget.
