Chris Barrie has updated his website

He mentions the weather, tanks, and his dislike of people requesting his appearance on podcasts; but he also included this tidbit on future Red Dwarf and Brittas Empire:

“At the risk of repeating something I seem to have said many times over the last umpteen years, I simply do not know if/when we will be doing more Red Dwarf. Over the winter of 2015/16 when we made series 11 and 12, some common sense momentum seemed to be building, but, since then, the project seems to have juddered to a halt. In the desert of silence I do encounter the occasional droplet of positivity but that’s it. If the droplet ever becomes a trickle, I shall of course leap to the keyboard and let you know.

The Brittas position is not dissimilar. Since the promising newspaper articles of a couple of years ago and the enthusiasm of the Reunion last year, it all seems to have gone all quiet on the Whitbury front. All I can do is continue to express my desire to recreate the chainsaw voiced ogre and that is something I shall certainly keep doing.”

Thanks to Chris Barrie Fans for making this known on Twitter.

‘Lines from Red Dwarf that sound like they’re from other bits of Red Dwarf’ then, is it?

I believe that is what this thread is for sir, with the added bonus of random chance

Not really? But it does highlight the point that we should really have a thread for when the funny caption/picture combos aren’t pure chance.

edit: this deserves its own thread, so I made one.

OK but when the fuck is Series 13 or 14 or whatever the fuck it would be? I’m bored as shit.

Tell Chris Barrie to give us major news in the May update or I’m blowing up G&T and everyone inside, especially Quinn.

[AtlasUnderwater]

I check this thread at least bi-weekly and the fact that chris barrie hasn’t updated his website in months is really starting to take the joy out of my life.

We need a new thread called “Chris Barrie has not updated his website”.

Chris Barrie has updated his website. If you like updated comic-con dates and nothing else, you’re in for a treat,

[cwickham]

I mean I think the continued absence of the anti-Jewish racism is a positive, because I think it probably means someone has staged *some* kind of intervention

[Stephen Abootman]

Quite funny that his first update of the year said “the outgoing year has witnessed the wheels of rampant globalisation, the enslavement of humanity and insane wokery begin to turn ever more quickly and I shall be continuing to remind readers of this psychopathic management of decline as we go forward” yet (thankfully) he hasn’t ‘reminded’ anyone since.

Chris is participating in a Spitting Image edition of The Reunion on Radio 4 in a fortnight’s time.

September update features a tribute to Mike Yarwood. 

No updated news regarding Red Dwarf, continuing the trend of nobody saying a word about the future of it since the Manchester comic con meeting.

[Dave]

That’s quite the screeching gear-shift from the Mike Yarwood tribute to the convention schedule.

[cwickham]

He’s not suggesting Yarwood died because he got a COVID vaccination so that’s something

[Dave]

HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS! I was very sad to hear the recent news of Mike Yarwood’s passing

[cwickham]

Well it’s still an improvement on 2021-22.

The lowercase ‘i’ is a lovely touch.

Brilliant.
