    Ian, Jo and I will be in this delightful place from around 3, before heading the studios for the recording. If you’re going, it would be smashing to see you there for pre-event excitement.

    (We have The Bull Inn as a backup, just in case The Barley Mow is SHIT, but we’ll post here if there any change of plan.)

    Fuck me, it’s come round so quickly. First the vague announcements, then Doug’s cryptic tweets, then the tickets went online. Even though we’re gettign tweets and info abotu the show. I’m finding it very difficult to completely comprehend that it IS actually happening, it’s not just hearsay, it’s not just rumour, it’s absolute FACT.

    Looking forward to hearing your reactions…

    I’ll echo Danny with the general ‘fucking hell’ sentiments and definitely intrigued to hear what you can tell us

    Huge excitement now that it’s only a matter of hours away. It’s only marred by having just finding out that Christopher Hitchens has died. What a strange mix of elation and sadness today is turning out to be.

    The Bull Inn is where Dave, Helen and I ended up. What was the Mow like?

    The Barley Mow had a nice friendly atmosphere and plenty of tables. It’s much bigger than it looks from the outside.

    So THAT’S where the Model Unit hid the TARDIS this time round. They’re really pushing the boat out aren’t they?

    Same as last week? Is 3pm (ish) at The Barley Mow another meeting up point for tomorrow?

    Good to meet y’all yesterday. Kinda weird seeing faces you’ve only seen in avatars in the flesh! But nice weird.

    I agree Ori, bloody taxis – at least they could indicate on their cars that they are a taxi. The only thing that gave the driver away that he was a cabbie was the bluetooth earpiece in his ear :)

    Hi everybody by the way – good to finally meet some of you, and sorry I ain’t posted here in nearly 3 years :)

    Well done on your beautiful rendition of Silent Night. Hope it makes the DVD extras, along with Ian’s sick rapping skills!

    I think I could have been a little better, but the studio was quite warm and dry, my throat was quite dry and sore. Plus I can’t carry a tune to save my own life lol

    I loved the guy pretending to play the piano and going “doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo” – Craig Charles in the background was pissing himself, and even the whole crew stopped what they were doing to look at him lol. Still, all good fun, I’m glad I was there, and I am glad to meet some other Red Dwarf fans from other parts of the country – it was a great night out :)

    Who’s coming along this Friday, then? (starting this early to take my mind off it being Tuesday).

    #114301
    Kris Carter
    Participant

    Me! Uh… Again! Pissed off that the Mow doesn’t do food tho’. Grumble grumble… Still, may stay at the pub for more than a microsecond this time.

    I am! Me and my sister. We’ll be there sometime between 4 and half past, so make your escape then.

    Semi-serious note: I’m going to need to eat, what with needing to do my insulin and whatnot. I normally do that between 5 and 6, and obviously, I’m gonna have to do it a bit earlier. Do the pub do decent food, or am I better off bringing some sandwiches?

    #114303

    Participant

    Ah, just read Kris’s post re food. (In my defence, I started writing that last post an hour ago. Then I got sidetracked, and, well.)

    So, is there somewhere decent to eat in the area? Or am I bringing my A-Team lunchbox?

    I’m off work on Friday and have nothing on, so in light of Doug tweeting about spares again last week i’m half tempted to take a punt again. If I do then i’ll most likely see you in the pub at some point I imagine.

    There was a chippie at the end of the road, but I didn’t have any and so can’t testify as to the quality.

    Chippy. Hmm. Will it be open at 4pm-ish?

    #114308

    Participant

    The chippie is pretty good but they shut about 2-2:30 and not sure what time they open for the evening… I’d suggest bringing something (or picking something up on the high street next to the station) just in case.

    #114309

    Or buy some crisps and a tasty beverage in the audience holding pen.

    Or drive around until you find a Pizza Hut, like wot we did last week. Unfortunately the lingering stench of the dog shite one of my friends had stepped in (back in Cardiff!!! Talk about tracking a smell along!) meant that no-one’s appetite was particularly good at that stage. Bleurgh.

    The chips are amazing. They are open in the afternoon, as I think I was there about 5pm on the first recording date. They’re open until about 11pm.

    I’ll see you all in the holding area this Friday, as I’ve got to wait for my sister to finish work and so will only be getting to the studios at the last minute. I’ve got the afternoon off on the 27th, though, so will hopefully be there at the earliest possible.

    Thanks for the food suggestions. I’ll be okay, I just like to find new and interesting things to worry about. :)

    I’ll bring a sandwich, but hope for chips.

    #114312

    Mmmm. Chip sandwich.

    That last post of mine – I wasn’t being pedantic against Danny, it just took about 45 minutes for my bastard phone to load. I think it’s it’s time of the month or something.
