The TOS Files

[Jonathan Capps]

Just been digging through the TOS news archives (mainly to see if Robert is WRONG about what year the movie was almost mounted in his latest MitRM chapter):

I’ve not got that far yet, but this piece amused me:

the Red Dwarf movie has officially pencilled in the main cast to reprise their roles on the big screen – making good on the promise made by co-creator Doug Naylor not to replace them

God, remember when that was a thing? Also: Madonna.

Ah, Robert was right, it *was* 2001. For some reason I had it in my head it was 2002:

It’s very easy to forget just how close this fucker got to being made.

I have a very, very strong memory of where I was when I first read that. Genuinely the most exciting thing that had EVER HAPPENED.

I have a strong recollection of one of the early DVD articles have a picture of Starbug flying over a DVD.

Actually, as I was typing that I found it: http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2002/06/14/digital-delight/

Don’t know why I had such a strong memory of that.

Remember that horrendous flash version of TOS with images of Doug popping up occasionally? Christ, that was awful.

That was Red dwarf Online wasn’t it? I remember that being up shortly before rd.co.uk got launched and very quickly became my favorite website in ever.

I remember Red Dwarf Online and the various things it advertised as coming soon that never materialised. Something about a city and being able to join an online version of the Space Corps.

You used t be able to watch that on RD.co.uk as recently as a couple of years ago.
