Are there any XI & XII publicity photos avaliable?

[Bargain Bin Holly]

As you may know, X released a host of publicity photos of each individual main character (Lister, Rimmer, Cat, Kryten) for public perusal. Here’s an example:

However, I’ve encountered difficulty in acquiring any publicity photos of the boys from their XI & XII incarnations. I know they exist in some form, as they’ve made appearences in group photos, on billboard advertisements, and on the covers of SFX back in 2016. Example:

Anybody have these? It’d be good to have a new front-shot of Kryten that doesn’t feature his X-era hook nose and eye bags. Plus, it’s never a bad thing to have an extra photo of Rimmer saluting:

THE PHANTOM THREAD. IT’S ALIVE. I CAN FINALLY DO MY REPLY.

I dunno.

Presuming the originals to the photo shoot for XI are out there somewhere, as the DVD cover is around with plenty of different backgrounds.

I doubt there is anything for XII though? The cover was just the Everyones Kryten pic, rather than a proper shoot.

Yeah, I think the images of the exact photoshoot I’m looking for was taken sometime around the filming of Samsara going off of Cat’s outfit.

It’s just they look more or less the same in XI & XII so I couldn’t really differentiate the two.

Also some of the photos make appearances in Red Dwarf XI: The Game.

Is there a press kit on any of the GNP/UKTV/Baby Cow websites?

Maybe there’d be some in there.

I stand corrected I do believe an additional photoshoot may have taken place since the billboards last year contained Cat posing in his outfit from Mechocracy, my futile hunt continues.

They do exist in a very similar style to the X ones (backgrounds almost identical) but no, I don’t think they’ve ever been put out there. Not for any particular reason, I don’t think – just more that there was never really a reason to use them in that way.

They might do one day, I guess.

The X ones have always struck me as a little odd, being left with the grey studio backdrop still in. It’s pretty much unheard of to not replace the background with something else.

[Ben Saunders]

I think I’ve seen them do the studio background thing for the Star Wars prequels and Doctor Who as well

[Hamish]

I appreciated them, if for no other reason than they provided very good infobox pictures for the Tongue Tied wiki back when I did any real work on it.

That’s a shame, hopefully they release them.

Pretty sure the grey studio background was just a template, I’ve seen the poses photoshopped in-front of deep space in promotional adverts
