A quick (very quick*) iTunes search and Google could only produce links to the Dwarfcasts or articles on this site. The guy who told me about it heard it advertised on another podcast (didn’t say which). He says it’s four people, 2 RD fans and 2 newcomers who are going through episode by episode from the beginning. Anybody else have a link or listened yet? https://www.facebook.com/groups/172039312927247/ *the same iTunes “quick” search also failed to find our Scuttercast under the terms “Red Dwarf podcast” June 18, 2012 at 9:30 pm #116780 MANI506Participant But… what the hell is that… who are these people…. what’s going on? June 18, 2012 at 9:36 pm #116781 ori-STUDFARMParticipant I’m going to reserve judgement (bite my tongue) until I’ve listened….and also try to keep in mind that our podcast started out absolutely shite and maybe still is to some people. But what good is a podcast if nobody can find it and I can’t listen? Incidently, I think it was my iTunes playing up earlier. Another search brought up loads more including Scuttercast….but still no G&T Podcast apart from the Dwarfcast June 18, 2012 at 9:52 pm #116782 ori-STUDFARMParticipant It was advertised on The Total Wrestling Show podcast….apparently. Looks like they may not yet have an episode out , so one to keep an eye out for in the future… June 19, 2012 at 12:59 pm #116807 Jonathan CappsKeymaster Hmmm. June 20, 2012 at 11:27 am #116530 Seb PatrickKeymaster WHAT SORT OF THING IS HAPPENING HERE? June 20, 2012 at 11:48 am #116531 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Quick! – someone supply the details so I can download it and make sneering comments. July 5, 2012 at 10:08 pm #116547 RidleyParticipant http://thereddwarfpodcast.podbean.com/ July 6, 2012 at 2:07 am #116953 Ian SymesKeymaster Gnnnnnnnnhgn. July 6, 2012 at 3:52 pm #116954 ori-STUDFARMParticipant How considerate! They launched on my birthday. I think I will like this podcast. Nb This is me reserving judgment July 6, 2012 at 4:08 pm #116955 Pete Part ThreeParticipant I find this a little odd, in that two of the team are newcomers to the show. The other two seem to know it well, but have clearly not felt the need to ever google it and stumble across this site. Or maybe they have since recording this as, although it’s called The Ganymede and Titan podcast in the show, I notice it’s not called that on the webpage. It gets a plus point for referring to the Patrick Stewart anecdote as fact. And a minus point for referring to Peter Jackson as the producer of Red Dwarf. July 6, 2012 at 4:28 pm #116956 Jonathan CappsKeymaster > I notice it’s not called that on the webpage. As of this morning, I don’t believe it’s called that anywhere. They’ve been very swift. I do like this podcast, anyway. I’m a bit unsure about the two fans, a lot of their knowledge of the show is a bit wonky, but I really like the American couple who’ve not seen the show before. It’s genuinely interesting to see two TV and sci-fi literate people discover the show like this. I find myself really looking forward to their reaction to Future Echoes. July 6, 2012 at 5:09 pm #116907 Ben PaddonParticipant I’m reminded of an idea I had for a podcast which would probably have been called Showing An Idiot Cool Shit, which would have consisted of me forcing my friend Mike to sit down and watch something fantastic that he’d never seen before – usually a movie, or an episode of a show he’d not seen before – and then discussing it and getting his reaction. We were actually going to do this with Red Dwarf, and we sat down to watch Gunmen, but five minutes in he said, “This is like Saved By The Bell.” Disgusted, I kicked him out of the apartment and I haven’t seen him since*. * Yes I have. July 6, 2012 at 5:20 pm #116908 HelloMabelParticipant Happy birthday, Ori. :) July 6, 2012 at 5:29 pm #116909 HelloMabelParticipant > We were actually going to do this with Red Dwarf, and we sat down to watch Gunmen, but five minutes in he said, “This is like Saved By The Bell.” Saved By The Bell is like porridge in high school – gloopy crap that everyone avoids. July 6, 2012 at 5:35 pm #116732 Ian SymesKeymaster As of this morning, I don’t believe it’s called that anywhere. They’ve been very swift. And very apologetic – they seem to have been genuinely unaware of our existence. July 6, 2012 at 5:48 pm #116746 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Red Dwarf needs more Kelly Kapowski. July 6, 2012 at 6:29 pm #116747 RidleyParticipant As of this morning, I don’t believe it’s called that anywhere. They’ve been very swift. Well that’s considerate. Although I was going to push for ‘us’ to start calling them G&T USA. :( July 6, 2012 at 8:28 pm #116748 Jonathan CappsKeymaster A sad loss. July 6, 2012 at 8:35 pm #116749 Seb PatrickKeymaster >> We were actually going to do this with Red Dwarf, and we sat down to watch Gunmen, but five minutes in he said, “This is like Saved By The Bell.” >Saved By The Bell is like porridge in high school – gloopy crap that everyone avoids. Saved by the Bell is brilliant and you’re all fools. (Says the guy who recently found himself in possession of all four seasons on DVD, and who is currently writing a retrospective article about it. And reading Dustin Diamond’s terrible tell-all book.) July 6, 2012 at 8:39 pm #116750 HelloMabelParticipant You must be joking. Tell me you’re joking. July 6, 2012 at 8:53 pm #116836 Seb PatrickKeymaster At what it does, it’s great. The first couple of seasons are excessively cheesy, but when it settles down there’s some really solid stuff in there. Again: at what it’s doing, which is being a Saturday morning kids’ show. July 6, 2012 at 8:54 pm #116837 Seb PatrickKeymaster I didn’t buy the DVDs, I hasten to add. I got them for free, and that’s why I’m writing an article about them. July 6, 2012 at 9:47 pm #116838 genericnerdyusernameParticipant I can’t see or hear about Dustin Diamond without thinking about him giving a hooker a Dirty Sanchez now. Maybe that was his plan all along… July 6, 2012 at 10:19 pm #116840 Ben PaddonParticipant I didn’t hate Saved By The Bell – it was good at what it did – but it’s not dated very well. I like to think Red Dwarf has aged a little better. July 7, 2012 at 8:46 am #116850 Pete Part ThreeParticipant I read Dustin Diamond’s book (it’s about 70p for Kindle, peeps) in about two days. Utterly ridiculous yet compulsively addictive. July 11, 2012 at 9:34 pm #116899 RidleyParticipant Future Echoes cast is up. July 12, 2012 at 10:41 pm #116914 HelloMabelParticipant I’m enjoying these! It reminds me of when I was experiencing the show for the first time. But I’ll feel bad for the two Americans come October/November when all of us are sinking our teeth into RDX and they still have to play catch up (1 episode a week puts them only around series 3-4 by then). Maybe they’ll go ahead and watch it anyway. Heath mentioned that he really likes the main theme and it occurred to me that when I rewatch the episodes, even if it’s without cast commentary or simultaneous DwarfCast, when I get to the end I still always let the main theme play all the way through. Sometimes I sing along and sometimes I just listen. I don’t do that with most other shows. What do you all do? July 13, 2012 at 1:09 am #116948 RidleyParticipant But I’ll feel bad for the two Americans come October/November when all of us are sinking our teeth into RDX and they still have to play catch up (1 episode a week puts them only around series 3-4 by then). For them it’s new Red Dwarf every week for over a year. ;) July 13, 2012 at 3:39 am #116949 siParticipant It’s half four in the morning, I’ve been awake for nearly two hours, so I decided to listen to the first one of these. Sorry, but I could only manage six and a half minutes. While I acknowledge that I would not be able to produce a particularly entertaining podcast myself, I just couldn’t get into it. I might try again when I’m in less of a foul mood, but I doubt it. July 13, 2012 at 8:47 pm #116951 HelloMabelParticipant It took me awhile too. I suggest you start with Future Echoes. :) July 13, 2012 at 8:59 pm #116952 HelloMabelParticipant > For them it’s new Red Dwarf every week for over a year. ;) True! Lucky them. But if they’re hooked on it (sounds like they are, given they gave Future Echoes a 9 and an 8) and when PBS and/or BBC America picks up RDX, it will take tons of willpower to not tune in even with most of the old eps still unseen. It would for me, anyway. Interesting that Sarah found it ploddy and gave it a 5. Maybe she will turn out to be the podcast’s voice of dissent. July 13, 2012 at 10:59 pm #116939 JamesTCParticipant I enjoyed both of them. I’ll carry on listening to them. It is nice to hear from the perspectives of people who are actively not knowing anything about the show (no spoilers of future episodes) so they take each episode as it comes. Though some of their theories on why Cat is the only one of his species left are a little disturbing… July 14, 2012 at 10:30 am #116998 ori-STUDFARMParticipant >Though some of their theories on why Cat is the only one of his species left are a little disturbing… I find myself really having to try and be patient for the “Waiting For God” episode. I’ll be interested to hear what they think of the Cat’s back story and the whole Fushal buisness… July 15, 2012 at 12:03 am #116999 HelloMabelParticipant Yes, I can’t wait for that one either! They’ll probably go, “My version was better.” (Tongue in cheek of course.) I’m also waiting to hear how they like Craig Ferguson as Confidence. I was surprised how taken aback they were by Lister’s relatively nonchalant reaction to his situation. I remember reacting strongly to the plot itself, but not to how Lister deals with it (I was pretty young, though). Even though they were (half) kidding with their grotesque theories about the cat race, it was well-reasoned since “The End” deals with mass death in such a blithe way. (I do remember thinking, as they did, it was really cool that the first episode was called “The End.”) July 16, 2012 at 5:07 am #116515 Plastic PercyParticipant You can kinda rationalise away Lister’s nonchalance as his coping mechanism for such a trauma. Beside, Lister isn’t really the sort of person to dwell and always find the good in every situation – he’s still alive, he still has his plan and he still has his cat. July 18, 2012 at 11:36 pm #116989 RidleyParticipant We all know to just check the site on Wednesdays because they don’t update Twitter and/or Facebook fast enough by now, right? July 18, 2012 at 11:40 pm #116990 HelloMabelParticipant Probably, but thanks for the heads up anyway. One more student today and then I get to have a listen. July 19, 2012 at 12:20 am #116991 JamesTCParticipant Never thought ‘Balance of Power’ was particularly poorly thought of. Certainly thought ‘Waiting for God’ was thought to be a lesser episode. July 19, 2012 at 12:33 am #116992 HelloMabelParticipant I’m stopping 3.5 minutes in to observe that Heath is already the type of Red Dwarf fan who casually inserts quotes from the show into his conversational speech. Can I get an ‘awesome.’ July 19, 2012 at 11:47 am #116994 Ian SymesKeymaster I love Heath and Angela, but I wish their resident Dwarf experts were, y’know, Dwarf experts. There’s so many things that are either inaccurate, plain wrong (Chris Barrie in real life is “basically Rimmer with the volume up”?), or where they say they don’t know. So many missed opportunities for interesting facts to be brought up too – I found myself listening to it and thinking “why didn’t they mention this here” and “why doesn’t he just have TOS open in front of him” and “for god’s sake, if you don’t know who Teasy Weasy is just Google it”. July 19, 2012 at 7:18 pm #116988 HelloMabelParticipant Yeah, I suspected some might be frustrated by this. I was glad to hear Cappsy point out some things, like Ed’s split-screen work, in his e-mail. Though I have some of the same qualms as Ian, I’ll say a few things on Shane’s behalf since he’s not here. (Sarah never claimed to be an expert – just someone who likes the show. Anyway, compared to Heath and Angela, they are experts.) The bit about Chris first, since that was the most offensive. It became much less so when I realized Shane had gotten his words turned around. He meant the characters are caricatures of the actors, not vice versa. It’s still a gross generalization, but Craig made the same generalization in one of the bts docs. I think Shane got much of his info from these docs. He could be forgiven for misremembering some things as there is SO much info available these days. Angela and Heath are learning way more than I did when I first watched. The misinformation is irksome for us, but I doubt it’ll diminish their enjoyment of the show. Angela and Heath will get everything straightened out eventually (read: when they join G&T, which I expect they will). Regarding looking things up, having Shane open up TOS while watching would indeed be a good suggestion if anyone plans on writing to them. This sounds like their first foray into podcasting. I don’t know if that’s a good excuse, but I do know I’ve heard many other, far less entertaining podcasts which would have benefited from having a reference or two handy. Finally, keep in mind that you (Ian) and the other G&T staff are uber-qualified both as podcasters and as experts. Only Doug and Ed and a handful of others would be as expert as you. If it were my job (God forbid) I would certainly leave out important stuff too – not just stuff I still don’t know, but stuff I do know and neglect to mention in the moment. The Introcast is neither perfect, nor comparable in any way to the DwarfCasts, but as podcasts go it’s one of the more entertaining ones. I can forgive some inaccuracies from Shane because I love reliving through Heath and Angela all my old discoveries and reactions, especially to the characters and the writing, their analysis of the internal logic, and the speculation. Mostly, I love seeing the show stand up to the test of time and gain new fans. August 2, 2012 at 1:40 am #117280 HelloMabelParticipant Confidence and Paranoia is up, but a quick warning: the audio’s got some definite problems this time. Hopefully this will be sorted out by next week. August 30, 2012 at 2:33 am #118198 RidleyParticipant Interesting how close Mr. Heath and Ms. Angela get to predicting the next episode through the title. I do wonder how they’re going to handle Kryten’s absense, his and Holly’s subsequent personality changes, and the coming tweaks to the canon (or if indeed they’ll notice them). Have to admit it’s taking me a while to warm to this new dynamic though. 3/10 for Kryten? Pfft. August 30, 2012 at 5:43 pm #118235 Jonathan CappsKeymaster Yeah, 3/10 is an absolute joke. Heath and Angela continue to be excellent, though. August 30, 2012 at 5:46 pm #118236 JamesTCParticipant Yeah, I don’t really like the new guy. But I think that might be because he interjects a little too much and his microphone doesn’t seem to be very good. Lovely and encouraging reaction from Heath and Angela. Interesting to see they identify Kryten as a possible ongoing character straight away. August 30, 2012 at 7:14 pm #118244 cirenshaneParticipant just want to say hello Shane from the podcast August 30, 2012 at 7:30 pm #118245 Jonathan CappsKeymaster Welcome to the site, Shane! August 30, 2012 at 7:30 pm #118246 HelloMabelParticipant Hi Shane. You know me already. Welcome. :) August 31, 2012 at 3:19 pm #126254 cirenshaneParticipant the reason why paul rated it so low is that he doesnt like David Ross as Kryten August 31, 2012 at 5:27 pm #126277 Ben PaddonParticipant just want to say hello Shane from the podcast He’s not here. Would you like me to take a message? (Hello.) August 31, 2012 at 9:17 pm #126290 Danny StephensonKeymaster FEEEEEEEEEEEB one boiled egg… August 31, 2012 at 9:40 pm #126295 AlexParticipant Hang on, I’ll just write it down. How do you spell egg? September 2, 2012 at 12:29 pm #126366 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Eggsterminate. September 6, 2012 at 11:07 pm #126538 RidleyParticipant “We love good continuity.” Oh my. September 6, 2012 at 11:34 pm #126539 JamesTCParticipant Someone else tell them. I’ve got gussets to scrub. They’re still expecting Kryten to turn up in the very next episode. I wonder if it is because they are watching from Netflix or some other service if the like which would probably use a BTE promo photo to advertise the show. September 7, 2012 at 1:38 am #126543 Ben PaddonParticipant They’re in the US, right? They can’t be watching on Netflix – it’s been off the streaming service for approaching three months now. September 7, 2012 at 2:32 am #126544 HelloMabelParticipant In the last episode Heath mentioned seeing something about Kryten in the little research he did. I think that, and the fact that they liked him so much, are the reasons they’re waiting for him to come back. Or if they’re using the box set, they could have seen his picture on the box. But I was really happy to hear that they loved this episode, and so much as to not notice that Kryten wasn’t in it. Can’t wait for “Thanks for the Memory.” “I’d prefer chicken” – definitely a gag for the ages. September 7, 2012 at 3:44 am #126547 John HoareParticipant I remember when I was watching Dwarf for the first time back in the 94 repeat season, I expected Kryten to come back in the following episode, as I’d heard he was a permanent character. Really surprised me when he didn’t. September 7, 2012 at 7:53 am #126548 Jonathan CappsKeymaster > I remember when I was watching Dwarf for the first time back in the 94 repeat season, I expected Kryten to come back in the following episode, as I’d heard he was a permanent character. Really surprised me when he didn’t. Exactly the same for me, too. I think Heath and Angela are going to have a massive continuity based meltdown when they get to Backwards… September 7, 2012 at 9:14 am #126550 Pete Part ThreeParticipant It didn’t help that in the ’94 repeat run, the continuity announcer closed the show with something like “And Kryten and the rest of the crew will be back next week”. I think I’d been peeking at VHS sleeves in Woolworths and knew he wouldn’t be back until Series III though. September 20, 2012 at 9:55 am #201125 RidleyParticipant “I really hope it’s going to cohere and it’s not just ‘we’re making this up as we go along’ and it’s never going to cohere or make sense, y’know?” Oh my. September 20, 2012 at 10:10 am #201126 Jonathan CappsKeymaster I think they’re going to have to learn to treat each series as its own continuity bubble, without worrying about how it related to previous series. I’m genuinely excited to see their reaction to series III. Incidentally, I’m likely to be a guest on the podcast at some point soon. I’m looking forward it immensely! September 20, 2012 at 8:06 pm #201148 MANI506Participant Yes! With all due respect this introcast could use someone with comprehensive knowledge of the show stepping in. I think you should be on it every week Cappsy! October 6, 2012 at 9:58 pm #202010 RidleyParticipant I smiled knowingly at “too weird for words”. ;) October 6, 2012 at 10:27 pm #202011 mickParticipant > I’m likely to be a guest on the podcast at some point soon. I’m looking forward it immensely! I’m possibly looking forward to hearing that more than watching the rest of RDX October 7, 2012 at 1:05 am #202040 Jonathan CappsKeymaster I was going to be recording with them this Sunday, but it’ll be next week, now. I’m on for Backwards, which is excellent. October 7, 2012 at 1:48 pm #202048 Danny StephensonKeymaster Ooteeseeebeib. you say that into a microphone and it’ll read backwards as ‘BBC Two’ :) October 18, 2012 at 6:39 pm #202518 JamesTCParticipant :( They hate ‘Backwards’. October 18, 2012 at 7:35 pm #202526 RidleyParticipant “Jonathan”? October 18, 2012 at 7:46 pm #202528 genericnerdyusernameParticipant I’m shocked that anyone could hate Backwards. October 18, 2012 at 8:45 pm #202533 AlexParticipant If this is the way their opinions are going then I have a horrible feeling that i’m going to find the show increasingly difficult to listen to. October 18, 2012 at 8:46 pm #202534 NoFroParticipant Listening to this I can just imagine Cappsy was sitting there wanting to scream about how the next episode is one of the great character episodes if not the greatest character episode as they bitched about how shallow Backwards is and how shallow the show had seemingly become. Interesting perspective though. This was the first episode I saw of Dwarf and whilst it’s not a favourite of mine, I still believe it’s a brilliant intro to the show. I also think they give the episode too little credit. The backwards sequences are funny, but there are so many great lines and it’s the dialogue that makes me go back to the episode again and again. Before they even reach Backwards Earth they’ve had the driving test and the Flintstones conversation! Two classic scenes! And I never get tired of the running Bulgaria gag. Especially: LISTER: No, I don’t speak any Bulgarian. You speak English? VAN DRIVER: Sorry, I’m English. Are you Bulgarians? October 18, 2012 at 9:58 pm #202542 genericnerdyusernameParticipant >If this is the way their opinions are going then I have a horrible feeling that i’m going to find the show increasingly difficult to listen to. Agreed. Their opinions are shit. October 19, 2012 at 1:59 am #202560 Danny StephensonKeymaster Hmm, you’ve got to remember this is the FIRST TIME they’ve seen these. Before you formed your opinions on what is the best episodes you’ve had maybe 10 years or more to mull it over and think about it. I certainly didn’t have a defining opinion on first viewings, it was the subsequent years that followed that shaped my true opinions. I hated Meltdown to begin with, but i love it now. October 19, 2012 at 6:36 am #202581 HelloMabelParticipant Plus, remember that they did give good marks to several highly regarded episodes (Future Echoes, Me^2, Stasis Leak). I think that earns them a niblick for Backwards. Haha, auto correct thought I meant to type “no-lick” for “niblick.” October 19, 2012 at 7:12 am #202582 Pete Part ThreeParticipant I haven’t listened to this since episode 1, but thought I’d give it another go due to the presence of Cappsy. I actually found Angela’s comments about Backwards justified in that, if you like many aspects of Series 2, it doesn’t naturally follow that you’re going to like this. I have a very clear memory of seeing this episode for the first time and the changes to the show (all of which I consider to be positive) blew me away to such an extent that the episode itself got a free pass. Even now I find it hard to distance the story from the fact that this is episode 1 of the drastically new look. The way Holly and Kryten are reintroduced with out any effort is quite incredible. But, yes, the story Is rather gimmicky (I don’t remember who but Rob or Doug admitted as much in the Quiz book questionnaires and labelleled it as one of the worst episodes) and, no, there isn’t a huge amount of character comedy in there. But it still makes me laugh… I imagine the newbies will reacquaint their love affair with the show with Marooned though and, since much of series 3 is much more character-driven, they should be fine. For the moment. October 19, 2012 at 1:01 pm #202587 Tarka DalParticipant I guess another issue is perspective. Red Dwarf may not have invented the backwards universe concept, but it was pretty fresh to me as a ten year old. Watching it for the first time now I’d probably be less enthusiastic, the backwards idea itself would seem less original. Much like with some classic films or albums you have to think in terms of what else was around at the time. I can recall a couch potato feature in SFX years ago where they tore into Backwards and I was fuming. Then I watched it myself and it’s really apparent that an awful lot of the ideas don’t make any sense at all. October 19, 2012 at 2:57 pm #202595 Ian SymesKeymaster Backwards is absolute nonsense from finish to start, but it’s so funny that it doesn’t matter. October 19, 2012 at 2:58 pm #202596 Danny StephensonKeymaster …ereht did uoy tahw ees I October 19, 2012 at 3:07 pm #202597 genericnerdyusernameParticipant Off the top of my head, I can’t think of an episode of Red Dwarf that isn’t riddled with continuity errors since the second series. But does that matter? October 19, 2012 at 3:08 pm #202598 Ian SymesKeymaster I’m as guilty of this as anyone, but it seems that people only complain about continuity or plot-holes if they didn’t like the episode anyway. October 19, 2012 at 3:09 pm #202599 JamesTCParticipant Flobba-dob blib blob bleeb. October 19, 2012 at 3:47 pm #202604 genericnerdyusernameParticipant > I’m as guilty of this as anyone, but it seems that people only complain about continuity or plot-holes if they didn’t like the episode anyway. If you don’t find anything funny in it, then I don’t see why you shouldn’t resort to relying on the plot to satisfy your entertainment needs. October 19, 2012 at 9:16 pm #202610 MANI506Participant Way back in the distant past I do remember the series 3 kick off being a little jarring. I became a fan around about series 2 and endlessly rewatched Queeg before Backwards was aired. There was a feeling of something not quite right! October 20, 2012 at 2:34 pm #202618 JonsmadParticipant That was hilarious. Well done Cappsy. I’ve never heard one of the series 2 loving series 3 haters in action before. Wow. Poor woman at the moment it almost sounds like she has got the whole of Dwarf to now go through, hating everything ha ha. I hope for her sake she mellows. I’m glad i went through the 2 to 3 jump back at the very beginning of video taping and never really had a major problem cus backwards was the first thing i ever taped off the TV myself. October 20, 2012 at 2:46 pm #202620 JonsmadParticipant >Backwards is absolute nonsense from finish to start, but it’s so funny that it doesn’t matter. Totally agree with this. And I’m probably just trying to over defend it’s logic when I say the next bit. But given that none of us has ever experienced traveling to a universe that is mirrored and traveling in an opposite arrow of time. We dont really know what would happen. I think we look for a complete reversal of our arrow of time logic. As if the whole show should run in a perfect reverse. understandable we then find holes in that pretty easy. But when Lister and Cat first arrive they are talking forwards and walking forwards and experiencing some physical effect etc backwards in advance. Then they try interacting with backwards universe people. And later in the episode they are able to perform backwards things like reverse eating. So them being there is a paradox. A mix of forwards in a backwards law universe. So any events that happen to be a mix of Forward and Backwards can be said to be a result of the paradox. Which pretty much takes care of anything, except maybe the logic of the words in the paper that Kryten is reading takes a bit more explaining in terms of how a reverse brain in that world thinks in it’s direction. It doesnt just unthink a thought. It thinks forwards still but in terms of the laws of the world around it. Like the brain there would think. ” yadot yenom emos nrae nu dna pu teg tsum i” October 28, 2012 at 9:36 am #202957 fozzibear1Participant Sounds reasonable to me Jonsmad Im assuming Johnathan Capps as a featured guest is a sign that everything is now resolved to everyones satisfaction at both sites. Assuming this is true I’m wondering if it might be an idea for a few of us in the group to offer to help them with preparing some crib notes for each episode. Basically im thinking along the lines of ‘the more net activity us fans can generate and sustain the easier it makes it for Doug Naylor when it comes to negotiations both regarding commissioning and budgeting’ To those who have had contact with them do youi feel this would be welcomed as helpful or do you think it might be taken as insulting,, obviously you cant garuantee what their reaction will be but you guys prob have a more accurate estimate than I would November 20, 2012 at 11:44 pm #204150 RidleyParticipant So yeah, I’m looking forward to hearing how the Uncle Frank story went down.

Really surprised me when he didn’t.” So glad it wasn’t just me! I loved David Ross’ Kryten so I was gutted the following week. But then, when ‘Backwards’ started I was surprised again! Loved it though. May 9, 2013 at 1:14 am #207198 HelloMabelParticipant Amazingly, the last time anyone posted on this thread, Sgt. Smiley was still here. http://thereddwarfpodcast.podbean.com/2013/05/03/season-6-episode-6-out-of-time/ Guest starring our very own Ian Symes. Nice to have this to ease some of the DJ withdrawal symptoms. May 9, 2013 at 1:38 am #207199 HelloMabelParticipant Drives me crazy that they say “the Red Dwarf” and “the Starbug.” May 9, 2013 at 4:42 am #207203 MANI506Participant This has been a very interesting podcast, but it’s about to get a whole lot more interesting as they work their way through 7 and 8! May 9, 2013 at 5:28 am #207204 JamesTCParticipant Especially since they said in the latest podcast that the one character who you couldn’t take out the show would be Rimmer. May 9, 2013 at 8:25 am #207206 RidleyParticipant Especially since they said in the latest podcast that the one character who you couldn’t take out the show would be Rimmer. And one of the show’s strengths being its models… May 9, 2013 at 8:28 am #207207 Jonathan CappsKeymaster I’m on for Tikka to Ride. It’s going to be… interesting. May 9, 2013 at 10:33 am #207210 MANI506Participant My gut feeling is that they’re going to love Tikka To Ride with some reservations about the models. I also fully expect them to spot the continuity fuck up straight away. May 9, 2013 at 6:19 pm #207230 HelloMabelParticipant So I’m going to try to get in on the spoilercast on Sunday. I just e-mailed Shane. May 9, 2013 at 6:50 pm #207231 MANI506Participant More the merrier! I certainly loved this episode on first broadcast. I was gagging for it and as far as I was concerned it delivered in spades. The rest of the series not so much although there are fantastic moments. As mentioned in the G&T podcast, the opening montage is first class! May 10, 2013 at 2:42 am #207239 HelloMabelParticipant > More the merrier! Hooray! That’s what Shane said, too. My understanding of the spoilercast is it’s not just about Tikka, it’s us guessing how Heath and Angela will react to Series VII generally.
