Suggestion for a Dwarfcast

[ori-STUDFARM]

I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on the BBC’s preferred alternative to Red Dwarf in 2006, Hyperdrive.

Hyperdrive

Anything but episode 1 with the gross hand licking, I’ve already watched that one twice over the years and failed to progress further.

I’d also enjoy expanding ‘Dwarf-adjacent’ from personnel connections to “you might also like” thematic links, depending on what they’re actually interested in covering (Hitchhikers, Futurama, Sonic, whatever).

[Jonathan Capps]

Trying to sabotage DwarfCasts, I see. I know your game, mate.

[ori-STUDFARM]

I just need an excuse to remove the cellophane from my Hyperdrive dvd 😂

[Dave]

Do it, that cellophane might be worth something one day.

[Dax101]

Dave showed Hyperdrive for a little while. I guess no one watched it because they don’t show it anymore.

[Ridley]

Vindalunar launch commentary.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Dave showed Hyperdrive for a little while. I guess no one watched it because they don’t show it anymore.

Similar to Red Dwarf, Hyperdrive boast record breaking figured of Dave.  However it’s because no-one tuned in .  So extraordinarily bad is it, that even the TX guys put something else on, putting the viewing figures of the entire run of Hyperdrive on Dave into negative figures.

My copy of the Hyperdrive DVD was gifted to me by the writers and is signed by Nick Frost. Thus I win.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

Even the writers don’t want a copy! Presumably the signature was to increase its value to £0.00

IDEA FOR A DWARFCAST

Ian, Cappsy and Danny come up with many, many new titles for existing episodes, and some shit maths puzzles.

[Flap Jack]

Commentaries of every single episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the direct inspiration for Red Dwarf.

Red Dwarf is like 97% Blade Runner with a bit of Porridge.

[International Debris]

Thread should have been called ‘Idea for a dwarfcast’. You could guarantee a few thousand replies then.

 

Dwarffast: Ian, Cappsy and Danny do a commentary on every film in the Fast and Furious series, played consecutively, fuelled only by curry and Leopard Lager.

[Dave]

THE JUNG ONES

Special Dwarfcast in which Ian, Cappsy and Danny discuss psychoanalytical theory for half an hour, before answering a pile of Waffles that mostly revolve around Freudian explanations for Rimmer’s personality.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

THE WHARF CAST

Ian, Cappsy and Danny take a look at all the different wharfs situated along Britain’s river and canal system.

[Warbodog]

THE SMEGAZINE RACK

Interactive partwork podcast that instructs listeners on how to pulp their Smegazines after each issue is covered to eventually make a big pair of papier mache tits. Once the tits are finished, the remaining Smegazines are folded to make an origami style bra for the tits.

[Dax101]

Find old magazine articles and talk about them on Dwarfcast. you would be surprised by the information thats been forgotten about over time or how the cast felt about various things in those years. It be worth a discussion :)

[Dave]

DWARFCAST COOK BLUB

Ian, Cappsy and Danny read the four Red Dwarf novels to a chef until he cries.

[Warbodog]

DWARFCAST BUG RUB

Ian, Cappsy and Danny share their top minibeast massage tips.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

DWARFT CAST STUB HUB

Ian, Cappsy and Danny host a weekly podcast reading out listener adverts for tickets to gigs they can no longer attend.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

DWARF CAST HUG CHUB

Ian, Cappsy and Danny discuss all the people they’ve hugged that has led to an immediate an embarrassing lob-on.

[Dave]

THE ‘CAST’ DWARF CAST CASTING DWARFCAST

New G&T format in which Ian, Cappsy and Danny are replaced by the band behind 90s pop hit “Walk Away” who interview the lead actors from the show Red Dwarf while learning how to fish, releasing the whole thing as an on-demand audio recording.

[International Debris]

What have I started

 

THE SMEGAZINE RACK RACK

Partwork magazine and podcast hybrid series, documenting the Ganymede & Titan Smegazine Rack series of Dwarfcasts, including individual pieces to create a rack on which you can store your own CD-r editions of Smegazine Rack Dwarfcasts, in the shape of human Kryten’s double polaroid.

[Flap Jack]

ARUBA, ARUBA, THIS IS A DWARFCAST

The Ganymede & Titan gang finally fulfil their dreams of recording a podcast from a hot holiday destination physically located in the Caribbean but politically within the jurisdiction of the Netherlands. They get drunk and wear floral shirts to mark the occasion of their 8th Mrs. Brown’s Boys commentary.

[clem]

INSTANTS REACTIONS

Ian, Danny and Cappsy record themselves playing National Lottery scratchcards.

[Dave]

WORDLE MEN

Shameless attempt by the Dwarfcast crew to jump on the latest internet bandwagon.

[clem]

BOOM CLUB

10-part series in which Ian, Danny and Cappsy go through this in excruciating detail: https://www.ganymede.tv/2004/05/the-red-dwarf-boom-guide/

[Flap Jack]

IS IT GOOD, OR IS IT SPIT?

G&T land a once in a lifetime licencing deal for DwarfCasts to be played on British Airways flights. The agreement also permits them to print excerpts from the Idea for an episode. forum thread in the in-flight magazine.

[International Debris]

WORFCAST

Every scene in Star Trek featuring Worf is commentated on. Other scenes are skipped. As Danny and Cappsy have never watched Star Trek, this causes some confusion. Every episode features a reference to Patrick Stewart claiming Data wouldn’t exist without Kryten.

[Renegade Rob]

Much in the style of Critical Role or Harmontown, G&T runs an ongoing tabletop campaign of the Red Dwarf Roleplaying Game.

Or, like that Masterclass where Aaron Sorkin works through writing a hypothetical Season 5 of the West Wing in an alternate non-existent timeline where he didn’t leave after Season 4, a similar academic exercise where G&T’ers try to break episodes of the mythical “Series IX” discussed in Back to Earth and what it would have had to accomplish to be the “best series, best by miles” that Noddy refers to.

Or, more ambitiously, a food podcast where the G&T’ers actually give quiche a chance.

[Dave]

A Dwarf-inspired food Dwarfcast could be great actually. Trout a la Creme, beer milkshakes, a triple fried egg chili chutney sandwich, shami kebab diablo, kippers vindalooed, fresh strawberry waffles, a Toffee Crisp and an edible Pot Noodle. What a dinner party that would be.

[clem]

+1

Series of commentaries for whatever programme was on BBC2/Dave an hour earlier than the original broadcast of each episode of Red Dwarf.

[clem]

When the G&T team run out of good ‘adjacent’ shows, commentaries for some of the oft-cited Red Dwarf influences could be good. Steptoe, Dark Star etc.

Looking forward to the guys trying the recipe for ‘Peach Surprise’ in the next Smegazine Rack.

Oh, not another fucking Gardner’s World!

MATHS IN THE DWARFCAST

Cappsy, Ian and Danny have recorded four new Dwarfcasts.

The Dwarfcast about the second issue of the Smegazine is longer than the commentary for Polymorph Remastered.

The Dwarfcast about Son of Cliche is shorter than the commentary for the first episode of A Prince Among Men.

The two commentaries are exactly the same length.

If the above statements are all true, which is the longest Dwarfcast?

The Smegazine Issue 2 DwarfCast is the longest, if it’s longer than 2 hours 28 minutes. Otherwise, DwarfCast 48 – 25th Anniversary Live Special is still the longest.

I’d also enjoy expanding ‘Dwarf-adjacent’ from personnel connections to “you might also like” thematic links, depending on what they’re actually interested in covering (Hitchhikers, Futurama, Sonic, whatever).

We’re only doing a Sonic Dwarfcast if I get to complain about Sonic 4 on it.

[Jonathan Capps]

A Sonic introcast with International Debris.

[clem]

A League of Gentlemen DwarfCast would be great. “The late Don Henderson of Bulman fame” is mentioned in the cave guide monologue, so there’s your flimsy Red Dwarf connection.

[GlenTokyo]

HE’S GOT A SWATCH WATCH AND A FILOFAX SO THAT HE CAN CORRELATE HIS ‘CASTS

A look into the musical endeavours of the cast, mainly focusing on why Cash by Craig Charles is perhaps the greatest song of the 20th century.

[si]

I think the bloke who narrated the First Three Million Years documentary on Dave a couple of years ago has been in a couple of episodes of Doctor Who. You could try one or two of those if it’s not too vague a connection.

I tried to think of proper connections without resorting to IMDb, then eventually remembered the Real Ground Controller was in one of the charity shop sketches. There are probably more obvious ones.

Ooh, she was in Spaced as well. Get that done, chaps.

[Moonlight]

Don’t worry. It gets really fucking fun after about ten years of practice.

[Jonathan Capps]

We’ll stop before those bastard desert ghosts in Knuckles, I promise.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

This may sound like me taking the piss, but genuine idea for a Dwarfcast.

An episode of something Juliet May directed that isn’t Red Dwarf.

Maybe an episode of Morris Minor’s Marvellous Motors? Which as an extra Dwarf connection, stars Tony Hawks.

Astonishingly, the guest cast also includes Andy Serkis, Camille Coduri and Una Stubbs.
