No.

[Phobos And Deimos]

I am, I live in the Grassmarket so I’m only a jaunt down the road.

Me!!

A week today you can tell us if it’s any good or not then :P

[Stephen Abootman]

Looking forward to reading what comes out of the Q&A (unless Craig makes the “it was like The Who reforming, only nobody died” joke yet again).

[Reece]

Currently waiting in the audience. Brown alert, sirs.

[Reece]

Well that was bloody marvellous.

How visually distinctive did it feel from XI? Does it still have the general blue wash to the lighting, or have they changed that around?

I’ve always felt altering the color tone of the lighting from XI’s blue would be the coolest way to make XII look very visually distinct.

I might be wrong but I think there’s a XI = teal, XII = orange delineation.

A report that tells us nothing we didn’t know already. Great that people are still asking ‘will there be a Red Dwarf movie?’ though.

So, XII is to VIII as X is to I and XI is to II? Great to hear.

Loved it. Really strong episode. And for anyone that was at the recording, they cut that stinker of an old joke so good news all round. Good fun Q&A too.

Is that (likely) the one Ian referred to in the set report as a punchline mocked by Lee & Herring? (If so, I actually quite liked that gag, cliched as it was – hoping it reappears in the Deleted Scenes).

Given that we know that the ‘flying-as-a-euphemism-for-wanking’ stuff recorded for this episode actually made its way into Officer Rimmer, without spoiling anything are you able to say if anything was added to this episode to replace it, or did it just run to time even without that scene?

Naylor Jr: “That first #RedDwarfXIi episode when originally assembled was 41minutes long. Had to take eleven minutes out of it. ????✂️✂️✂️”

[Captain Bollocks]

If we don’t get Cured: The Original Assembly on the DVD, I shall be very cross indeed.

[curtis]

It was the set report gag that I’m referring to yeah.

As for Officer Rimmer, I’m not 100% certain but I now think the scene was reshot and not recorded on the night for this episode. I could be wrong here though.

[Stephen Abootman]

Follow up tweet: “Some were cut and put in other eps.”

[curtis]

I can only think of two full scenes that were present on the recording night but not in the final assembly. The other though, if I remember correctly, was very plot specific. But then again, it was ages ago so I could have just forgotten loads.

Yeah the plot is thickening on this one. Naylor Jr’s tweet implies that bits were cut and stuck in other episodes rather than reshot, but unless Cat and Lister have identical outfits in XII.1 as XI.4, I don’t see how it could not be a reshoot given that their outfits stick for the entire episode.

Certainly to my recall, only the ‘flying’ scene has made its way into an episode we’ve seen, so the use of “eps” plural in Richard’s tweet suggests that maybe some episodes of XII have also received some donor material.

October? Really..?!
