Sons of Anarchy: Out of The Red

[Podey]

I was reading last week about a new meta ‘Sons of Anarchy’ spinoff which is about the actors reuniting at a comic con style event. 

Maybe ‘Out of The Red’ would be the way to go forward for Doug? It would solve the problem of Robert being too old to be encased in rubber any longer.

If there’s no money for Red Dwarf I can’t see there being money for Out of the Red.

Well, based on what we know about Out Of The Red, it would be a lot cheaper to produce. I just don’t know if anyone would want it.

I’ve never been sure what Doug’s fascination is with doing more meta Red Dwarf stuff. Wasn’t Back to Earth enough?

I just assume meta comedy is easy. Just have the actors reference the show and outtakes, poke fun at the actors’ personality traits and behind-the-scenes stories. The fans will love all those references they know right?

Do we really need to immediately jump into accusing Doug of writing lazy comedy in a script none of us have seen even a letter of?

[International Debris]

Yeah because it’s a shit idea that we need to discourage at all costs 

[Flap Jack]

There’s nothing wrong with idea as far as I’m concerned – I loved The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot, which is a similar deal. It would just be disappointing to get it instead of a proper new episode.

The characters meeting Craig lead to some of the best bits of BTE so I wouldn’t be averse to seeing what Doug would do with the idea.

Does anyone remember about 25 years ago when there was some “leaked” footage of the four main actors doing a table read together. It was captioned with something like, “What were they doing there?”

Grant Naylor Productions stated that they had nothing to do with and it turned out that Robert had written a project that he wanted them all to star in. They never got the funding.

It’s impossible to know how good something like ‘Out of the Red’ might have been, but I can understand if TV weren’t that interested. It’s something that might not have appealed to some Dwarf fans or to casual comedy fans.

The OtraZone Solution

That’s niche.

For fans of RD Series 7 and Wilderness Years Dr. Who spin-,offs only.

But it is very funny.

[Technopeasant]

I mean, I got the joke too, so… good enough?

[Ian Symes]

Same. Flappo knows their audience.

And I’ve never actually seen The Airzone Solution, just the Josh Snares video on BBV.
