I reckon it’s a new character called Frank.

Has anyone told them he can give a billion $8 a month for that precious blue tick?

As an outsider, I’m no longer capable of telling what’s real and parody on Red Dwarf Twitter.

It is, bafflingly, real.

I’m not counting on a special announcement later and live Dwarfcast to discuss it this year, but as long as Rob & Doug haven’t decided to launch legal action against each other again out of boredom, that’s something.

[Jonathan Capps]

a) Was the pilot really written exactly four years before the first broadcast?

b) Wasn’t it 1983?

[loadoftottnumb]

This was one universe to the left. 

[Stephen Abootman]

Well he got 2 of the tags right. Anyway, good for Naylor Jr.

[Ian Symes]

I think it’s disgraceful that Richard Naylor is working with the National Front.

[Ridley]

And Brittain first!

[Dave]

Shameful self-promotion from Doug in the logo there.

[Formica]

And why the fuck is this hiding between the lines?

[Frank Smeghammer]

Outta pocket for that shit. Excellent post though

[RunawayTrain]

Weirdly, Doug’s tweet yesterday is how I found out about Bob Newhart.

[Stephen Abootman]

He’s also doing a thing tomorrow with a decent line-up where he will presumably be discussing The Chicken Song

[Moonlight]

Somebody call in and ask him what his favorite episode is.

My pet peeve is people asking questions on social media that are so easily searchable they should be fined for wasting my time reading their post.

Can you look up an example for me?

Doug Naylor has updated his Bluesky? https://bsky.app/profile/dougrdnaylor.bsky.social

 

[Technopeasant]

Doug has signed up with the woke globalist psychopaths then.

[Ben Saunders]

Four exclamation marks is crazy, he’s really excited

[Ridley]

You’re joking? Phil Pope? Oh my god.

[Flap Jack]

Right, there’s no way a drama could contain a single silly bit. I just assumed that it would be a minor key arrangement played over a scene of someone euthanizing their grandmother.

Cross-post to Has Red Dwarf made you cwy?

Doug gets idea for Back to Reality Remastered. 

[International Debris]

For what it’s worth, Twitter is completely useless these days unless you have an account. A screenshot would be preferred!

[Rushy]

Someone posted about a fancy camera setup that can be used to shoot scenes inside a vehicle, and Doug replied “Me want!”

[Technopeasant]

Is it cheaper than deaging?

Grok, is this true?

This is the kind of Twitter exchange that really needs context.

[Moonlight]

No notes.

Sin Bin Island?

Close enough. Welcome back, Smegtember.

I wish we’d get an update on the show. I know, I know, duh, don’t we all, but honestly I’d just like to know if it’s dead in the water, or what kind of negotiations are currently happening. Is Doug still fishing for funds? Or has he given up on the CGI Lister script and working on something else? I don’t think it’s very pragmatic to keep pushing for it if it’s too expensive to make.

You weren’t there during the Movie years, right?

I feel like we’ve heard too much about it already and they should just stick with “soon” until anything actually gets going. But I don’t follow any other productions closely anyway, normally just search “taskmaster season x” or “severance season x” a few times a year until one time it exists and I can watch it.

[Rushy]

No, no. I started watching when the Promised Land had already aired. 

I haven’t had the experience of getting a ‘brand-new’ Red Dwarf and I would really really like to enjoy that at least once. The cast are getting on a bit, especially Norman. And we only just got him back! I’d love to see at least one story where he’s in it all the way through, and utilised properly too.

I’ve been watching some Charlie Brooker recently. Top tier piss taker.

This is fairly normal. After Series 8 there was a 10 year gap of nothing while Doug tried to get a movie off the ground. We were not getting updates on what was happening. We were just waiting.

And then Back to earth came out, we didn’t know is that was the end of it. then it took another 3 years to get Series 10. And then another 4 years to get Series 11 and 12. And another 3 for TPL. In that time we didn’t get updates. We were just waiting for official word. Occasionally the cast would speak up and say they were making more that year or whatever, but it never really meant a lot when it came to it actually happening. 
And then of course you get other stuff like Doug was trying to get a stage show off the ground for a while. He was talking about that for a period and it just phased out and never happened.
Really its just the waiting game. There is just stuff we ain’t privy to.
