    I think this is a great idea, I love to l;isten to audio dramas, but can never be arsed to pay for them on CD, and I hate the CD format anyway – MP3’s all the way!

    Do you reckon they’ll have any of the red dwarf books on audio? I’ve never actually seen them on audio anywhere.

    The Dwarf audio books usually tend to do the rounds on the torrent networks…

    but that’s no good! BBC won’t get paid for them or be able to track how popular they are – which means they see no value in making any more.

    If they were downloadable, and even just a few pence each, they’d make money off them and then realise “hmm… these are making money, lets make some more!”

    The audiobooks are actually being discussed at the moment and we hope to have good news for everyone very soon.

    Since when did the BBC get money for Red Dwarf audio books?

    Regardless of the “value of making any more”, there wouldn’t be any more to make until either Rob or Doug write another book.

    Both Last Human and Backwards would benefit from the Barrie treatment. No offence to Craig or Rob, but their readings really don’t compare.

    Awesome. I’ve got to say, I’m not as big a fan as some, but it’d be great to see them properly out there again.

    I would love to see the radio show on DVD with illustrations from Neil Maguire.

    Apparently, however, Big Finish have pulled a US$1=?1 conversion ratio for the downloads…

    DVD storyboards of the Audio books would be great! Still waiting on the CD versions as well though :P

    What’s the chances that they’ll release the rights and allow other authors to write red Dwarf audio books, like the millions of star trek and starwars ones we have.
    I know having too many might be a bad thing, as it waters down the brand, but at least we’d get more!

    Absolute zero, I’m afraid.

    Thank God for that.
