In their defence. I find it hard to believe that BTE happened 3 years ago…

[ori-STUDFARM]

The Dave commisioning of the scripts for RDX was ‘unofficially’ announced at DJXV. Not long after BtE aired in 2009…Seems weird that, after the apparent rush of BtE with it’s non-too distant deadlines and such, that RDX didn’t get aired until the latter part of 2012.

I wonder if this 3 year cycle may become the norm for Red Dwarf. RDXI in 2015 anyone?

Strange Review

Wish I could have been there. But £299! It’s no wonder none of us attended.

From the speakers/bios page:
“Robert is possibly best known as the worlds most famous hologram ‘Kryten’.”
Oh dear…

I dont want your shoes. I want a stir-master.

Jonsmad your on top of things!

Always happy to see a new interview with our favourite person:

Doug Naylor interview: Red Dwarf X, future episodes, and more…

[Jonathan Capps]

Doug must be so fucking sick of telling the Back to Earth story.

Interesting review, mind, and he seems to be suggesting that there’s less of the movie script in this episode than we’d assumed…

[NoFro]

It’s a very good tease for tonight’s episode, which is definitely a good thing, but not much new.

[si]

Not found through Google, but worth sharing, I think:

So that interview that Ken Plume did with Richard Naylor was rather good wasn’t it?
http://www.asitecalledfred.com/2012/11/14/richard-naylor-ken-plume-chat/

Some of the stuff will overlap with the DVD docco I’m sure but Richard seems intent on not spoiling too much from it and since the docco isn’t an hour and a half interview with Naylor Jnr, I expect that there’s a lot of extra stuff in this.

[Jonathan Capps]

It’s good but there’s a huge amount of shit talked about framerates and the hardcore fans apparently wanting the show to look “shitty”.

Red Dwarf X: a celebration

YAY. I’m glad an article like this exists.

[si]

My brother sent me this email (via GoogleMail…)

Look at this on eBay, bloody awful haha

Check out this item I found on eBay:

End time: Dec 5, 2012 8:26:01 AM

Item: Blue Midget Red Dwarf UK Spacecraft Kiln Dry Wood Model

URL: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=390121386066

Alt URL: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blue-Midget-Red-Dwarf-UK-Spacecraft-Kiln-Dry-Wood-Model-/390121386066

I wouldn’t say that it’s “bloody awful”, but I certainly wouldn’t buy it… :/

[si]

Oh my God. That model guy’s done Starbug and Red Dwarf, too.

[Reece]

Oh my God. That model guy’s done Starbug and Red Dwarf, too.

They’re actually pretty good.

[si]

There’s too much ‘detail’ on the Starbug, not enough on the Dwarf.

[Danny Stephenson]

It terms of them being a wooden carved object, it’s obvious that effort has been put in but I just don’t like the style of them…

[si]

Not found through a Google search, but I spotted this on DeviantArt, and have to share it somewhere, because I think it’s stunning. Spot the other ships from BBC shows…

Red Dwarf’s 10 best supporting characters

I’m sure most of you will have seen this but this seemed the best place to discuss it. Have to say I don’t agree with a lot of the choices. I preferred characters such as Pree, Hogey and Taiwan Tony Dominator Zlurth to Confidence and Talkie Toaster and, as great as the Polymorph is, I hardly watch Polymorph because I love the Polymorph and treasure all the scenes it’s in. I watch it because I love what it does to the characters. And even if people just to ignore X, where’s Nirvanah Crane, the Series VI simulant or Timothy Spall’s Andy? Far more worthy of the list than some of those choices, in my opinion.

Btw Si, that DeviantArt pic is indeed nice.

[Pete Part Three]

Ah, the old, “why doesn’t your Top Ten include stuff I like?” comment.

[NoFro]

Well if they’re allowed to claim that they’ve listed the series 10 best supporting characters, then surely I’m allowed to claim otherwise :)

Plus these things are usually written to inspire discussion.

[Ian Symes]

No, these things are usually written because you can do the whole article in your lunch break and still have time to go and get a pasty.

[Pete Part Three]

Have to confess, I didn’t actually read it. I just looked at the pretty pictures.*

At least DoG don’t spread their Top Tens over ten pages like What Culture.

*Aside from the shot from Camille, which looks horrendous.

[Ian Symes]

When DoG first launched, it was nothing but top ten lists – at least there’s plenty of proper articles there too these days.

What’s a NZ dollar worth? Is it the same as an Aussie dollar?

Nice widget thank you!

Mark Kermode has never seen an episode of Red Dwarf.

Not really surprising, given that there aren’t many things of which he has seen episodes…

[Jonathan Capps]

Mark Kermode is a shit.

[si]

KERMODE SOUNDS LIKE COMMODE HAHAHAHAHA

[genericnerdyusername]

Kermo-Kermo-Kermo-Kermo-Kermodeisashit.

…

To the tune of “What a Wonderful World”.

Because expectations are made to be inverted.

[genericnerdyusername]

Um…subverted. Damn, ruined a post with my own hasty fingers and lack of reviewing whatever it is I’m writing AGAIN.

[Tarka Dal]

Kermode isn’t his real name. He chose Kermode.

[si]

Named after a poem dedicated to his favourite Muppet.

[Ridley]

Oh, G&T.

*hands on hips*

[Pete Part Three]

Indeed.

Stumbled on this via Facebook. At first glance it looked like a site for illegally watching episodes, but the “watch online” links take you to Hulu, and they encourage people to buy the DVDs. So that’s alright, then.

It looks nice, if a bit jumbled. The header “Ultimate Red Dwarf Source” is a bit of a stretch. It quotes Cappsy’s Trojan review, though it’s the same quote Seb used on TOS, so no proof the admin have ever visited G&T.

The last update was on “Rijen 16, 2012.”

Hmm, I clicked through and picked an episode at random, and was suddenly able to watch Series V episodes right there in the browser…

(And I don’t think Dwarf’s on Hulu, is it?)

[HelloMabel]

Oh dear.

[Ben Paddon]

It’s not on Hulu, no.

[anniescribe]

Ohhhhhhhh, you gone and done it now, Maybelline.

[HelloMabel]

> Ohhhhhhhh, you gone and done it now, Maybelline.

I done started back doin’ the things I used to do.

[ori-STUDFARM]

Have a Red Dwarf Timeline…that I’ve not really looked closely at yet and may actually be total bollocks. I also don’t think it is to any kind of time scale down the side with the episode titles…

Hilly inexplicably disappears

The boys are again 3 million years from Earth as if [Series VIII] never happened

Nope.

[Pete Part Three]

Yeah, I started trying to make sense of it and then gave up. It’s quite pretty, I suppose.

[Ridley]

What a weird coincidence!
