Things found through Red Dwarf Google Alerts…

[Jo]

Thought I should start a thread for any little bits found in Google Alerts…

<<>>

This is the best news I could have received today. I am absolutely crazy for Red Dwarf, hopefully both Rob Grant and Ed Naylor will write the new series as I feel that since Grant walked away, the show suffered. Still, any Red Dwarf is better than no Red Dwarf.

I find it difficult to be too hard on Marjii since most of the feedback on this false confirmation has been negative (I’m talking to you Digital Spy you massive pricks!) it’s nice to see someone getting excited… that said the RD geek in me just can’t let the major mistake slide! Ed Naylor… really?!

I got 62 out of 63 on the Simpsons characters in two minutes flat, then took another minute to remember the name of the second one of the cops.

[Carlito]

I got them all except hat. That’s a sad indictment of my brain and its unwavering retention of obscure, worthless information when I’ve been cursed with such awful memory for important/useful details… damn brain.

I’m too sexy for this post.

[Danny Stephenson]

I’ll be making one anyways soon, but i want to do quizzes as well as make them. Has anyone found any TV Theme type ones yet? If so what are they called, i cant’ seem to find any!

I typed theme in search. ;)

[Danny Stephenson]

76 out of 110… hmm, really enjoyed that one.

OOh nice one. Well i’ve typed in ‘theme’ into the search and it didnt’ return those results. So ner.

Cheers for finding them though. They’re providing much entertainment in the house.

[Jo]

Ian & I got 85/110 though I fully expect Tanya and/or John to come along and blow that score out of the water!

[Carlito]

> 70/110

I got 73. I realise it’s rather Partridge-esque to point that out. Which is precisely why I’m doing it.

[Seb Patrick]

69, dude. Looking at the answers, I *should* have got around 75 – the worst missed one being the one in the very top right. I played it over and over about six or seven times and still didn’t get it!

I knew what the last one was going to be before it played, though, simply because I could tell from the previous ones what sort of show was going to be in there and hadn’t turned up yet!

[Ridley]

So ner.

A fella drumming to the RD theme: http://kilbirnie.com/pandamonk-vs-red-dwarf/

[Danny Stephenson]

I always thought it would be a good idea to have some sort of band/gig thing for a Dimension Jump that played red Dwarf themes, cues and other geeky media. never did get round to sorting that out… :(

[ori-STUDFARM]

Have you ever heard this before? It’s not new or anything, but it recently came to mind. Not sure if it’s old news already around here.

[Danny Stephenson]

Erm, I seems to remember being on Spotify at Ian, Jo and Capps’s paddings and discovering this weird tune. I dont think we ever posted our find on here though. Someone may interject if that’s bollocks.

[Stabbim the Skutter]

The Red Dwarf. Sounds like what the gritty reboot of the series would be called.

[Danodin]

More likely ‘The Red’ lol. Definitely not ‘The Dwarf’ though, or even just ‘Dwarf’.

Btw, the ‘he’s right behind me, isn’t he?’ gag is ALWAYS funny. The reason being it’s not an actual joke, it’s a situation we can all relate to.

Very easy but speed is the trick, quicker you finish the more points you get.
Bit of fun!

Dunno who that writer is, but he looks like a spaz.

You see what you wanna see, guy.

Starting with the Vanna White, Ed and Norberg facepalm. Count that as your first beat.

This is the official trailer for the new pilot episode of The Fruit Cases, featuring Captain Straw voiced by Rolf Harris, Peel-in, Sour Lolly and Happy Apple voiced by Chris Barrie, Cookie voiced by Andy Nyman and Pear shape voiced by Holly Houliston.
Created by Adrian Warwick, The Fruit Cases is a magical adventure aimed at young children.

[ChrisM]

Heh. I like how most of the fruit have the more conventional eye set-up (sort of) and the apple has one eye on the end of his stalk.

[redhead85]

I had to stop watching it after 60 seconds. I know I’m not the target audience but it was making me cringe far too much.

WTF? indeed…

[ori-STUDFARM]

The name “Deadly Headshot” is obviously something that has actually happened to him/her and left them totally brain dead!! Talk about getting your facts slightly wrong… With know;edge like that, he/she could have joined us for our first few episodes of ScutterCast!!

[JEZZMUND]

James *did* have the light bee,(s)

He sold one of ’em to me..
