    I dreamed about some kind of VR Smegle that obscured the image by putting you some distance from the action so you had to locate it first. I was fairly sure the bright, grassy field with a green monster-suit-of-the-week was from Psirens, then found Cat crouching in a bush in his (correct) Emohawk costume and ran back to the central dome to give my answer just before the timed roller doors shut.

    Get on it.

    I just realised that the name of Many Ampersand Symbols means the whole dream was a Doug Naylor-authored advert for M&S.

    which leads to me to realise that I’ve been Mandela Effect-shifted to a parallel universe where this mysterious writer filled the role that was previously taken by Kim Fuller – only this new writer got to be more prolific in the series than Fuller, as she went on to write a number of episodes after ‘Blue’, with ‘Lemons’ being cited as her most major episode.

    Kim Fuller is a guy.

    Had the pleasure of meeting Many Ampersand Symbols for a worm do once. She was, surprisingly, Back to Earth’s writer, and VERY funny

    Kim Fuller is a guy.

    Sure, I mean I never said he wasn’t. All of my gendered pronouns were referring to &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@###++///@@@@&&&&&&&&&&&@@&@&@&@@&@&@&@&@€€€€%%%%@@@@@@@@@@@@&&&&&&&&&&@@@… (etc.)

    OK, admittedly I don’t think I remembered any details about Kim Fuller at all apart from his name anyway. It’s been a seriously long time since I watched the Series VII special features. But I guess it didn’t matter in the dream, because his role in Red Dwarf history was erased. (Sorry Kim, no offence intended. Big fan of ‘Blue’.)

    #276300

    Given the name is a string of characters, how do you know they are female? Are you basing it on the fact they replaced Kim Fuller? As I have news for you … Kim is a bloke

    #276302

    Kim is a bloke

    Kim Fuller is a guy.

    I think Flap meant Many Ampersand Symbols.

    #276303

    What’s that?

    Because the G&T death announcement and the Wikipedia article in my dream used she/her pronouns to refer to her, and also she had a feminine physique in the dream video interview.

    You might have thought my dream self knew that MAS was female despite not learning that information in the dream itself, but don’t worry, I don’t allow plot holes in my dreams.

    Imagine coming up with Many Ampersand Symbols organically and trying to shut it down. Respect her memory.

    Oh, there’s no shutting down Many Ampersand Symbols. Remember that Blue Midget Dance conga line she got going at Dimension Jump XVII? Even the police couldn’t stop it!

    I’m sure Kim Fuller will be greatly amused when she reads all this.

    When I posted my comment none of the other comments were visible … to me at least. Now I look a fool. A FOOL!

    #276314

    So what else is new?

    #276325

    Also, am I the only one who’s curious about whether Ms Ampersand Symbol looks like which one of Daft Punk or a combination of the two or what?

    Honestly, I think I just said “Daft Punk” as shorthand for “dressed like a robot”. On reflection she was actually bringing TRON:

    (Except with magenta lights, because clearly my subconscious likes to rely on stereotypes)

    But if I know Many Ampersand Symbols, I’m sure she’d go a bit more Daft Punk for formal occasions such as weddings and Bat Mitzvahs and such.

    I always thought Kim Fuller was a man.

    I’ve had a recurring dream that episode 3 of Series XII is this flashback to VII set on Starbug crashed on a planet, featuring Kochanski. GELFs show up. I can’t remember anything more specific.
    My literal dream is that Timewave doesn’t exist.

    I’m still having dreams about episodes that slot into Series XII (or XI to a lesser degree) but are totally unlike those series.

    Red Dwarf script written by the famous sitcom writer Many Ampersand Symbols:

    ############################################################################

    [INT. RED DWARF – CORRIDOR]

    LISTER: Hey, Rimmer. What’s the point of life, anyway?

    RIMMER: Well, I’m not sure. Maybe it’s to find out who we are?

    LISTER: Who we are?

    RIMMER: Yes. To find out what we’re made of.

    LISTER: What we’re made of?

    RIMMER: Yes.

    LISTER: And what are we made of, Rimmer?

    RIMMER: I don’t know. Maybe we’re made of star stuff.

    LISTER: Star stuff?

    RIMMER: Yes. Maybe we’re made of the same stuff as the stars.

    LISTER: Wow.

    RIMMER: Yes.

    LISTER: So, we’re made of star stuff.

    RIMMER: Yes.

    LISTER: And the stars are made of the same stuff as us.

    RIMMER: Yes.

    LISTER: So, we’re made of the same stuff as the stars.

    RIMMER: Yes.

    LISTER: And the stars are made of the same stuff as us.

    RIMMER: Yes.

    Not exactly the punchiest start to a comedy scene… !

    Confirmation if you need it that Many Ampersand Symbols must be a person despite the mystery and the robot aesthetic. AIs are bad at writing original gags.

    The bot did start to loop the same two lines over and over at the end. I cut it down quite a lot.

    I was trying to find a picture of Kim Fuller to photoshop him onto Dave’s Smega-Drive post, but apparently Mr Fuller is even more secretive about his appearance than even Ms Ampersand Symbols, and he doesn’t even use a robot suit and a voice modulator. He just doesn’t put himself out there at all. Not even when you’d think it would be demanded by pure necessity, like with Spice World. You’ve got to admire that dedication.

    #276366

    It’s fairly rare for writers to be seen though isn’t it?  I’m not surprised he gets by unknown.

    But I am surprised he has managed to stay out of the limelight entirely given his brother is Simon Fuller of S Club 7 and Spice Girls fame, and he created things like the Pop Idol format.  Simon isn’t quite as coy I don’t think. I’ve seen him pop up in music documentaries and stuff.  But, again, all eyes would be on the “talent” and not those behind them.

    I’m sure he’s just staying out of the limelight so that he can eventually milk his role as star guest at DJ for maximum impact.

    He’s got the “elusive” part down at least, but where’s the eccentricism? Where’s the style? What’s with the name that only has 9 characters and all of them are letters? Granted, the name “Kim” for a non-Korean man certainly has an element of intrigue, but that’ll only take him so far.

    Rare behind-the-scenes picture of the writing team for Red Dwarf VII. Left to right: John McKay, Doug Naylor, Paul Alexander, Many Ampersand Symbols. Not pictured: James Hendrie.
    I’m guessing this was taken pretty impromptu as Ampersand Symbols apparently made a bit of a rush to get ready, and McKay isn’t even facing the camera.

    Friday night I watched “Kryten” before bed then it dreamt that I convinced Robert Llewelyn to re-record all the David Ross lines so I could overdub it. 

    #276981

    You know something, I think he probably would do it. If paid, naturally.

    David Ross to Robert Llewellyn overdubbing all of his Kryten lines:

    Screenshot from the Red Dwarf episode Queeg

    Though there is a palpable chance someone mentioned the possibility of doing this when they were planning Remastered.

    So, if we get Bobby to overdub David Ross in Kryten, then just to be fair we should let David Ross overdub all of Talkie Toaster’s Series 1 lines. Then, to be fair to John Lenahan, we can let him overdub all of Kryten’s Series III-TPL lines. Sorted.

    #276986

    Flap Jack, I love the way you think.

    We should let Craig & Chris overdub each other’s lines in Bodyswap, as the bodies shouldn’t be making any sounds the vocal cords can’t physically produce. Strange that gaping plot hole was never patched up.

    What if Lister and Rimmer both have the innate talent to be master impressionists, but only by inhabiting each other’s bodies were they able to realise that talent.

    Just Googled ‘Kim Fuller writer’ and the first non-Red Dwarf result is for a woman of the same name in Colorado who does indeed work as a freelance writer.

    Not exactly a full Red Dwarf dream, but I did have a brief interlude in an otherwise unrelated dream, where I imagined that this was a line.

    #278297

    Had a dream that Robert Llewellyn died last night. However, it was part of a longer dream that involved a weird half-human demon that lived in tunnels under the town. Earlier on, some fairly unpleasant guys had been sending their dog down the tunnels and it ended up dying; Bobby’s death was discovered through someone filming the demon coming up through the ground with his corpse, as well as his dog (alive). Because of the supernatural nature of his death, no news sites were reporting it, but it had been noted on Wikipedia. The date of his death was 23rd August 2023. 

    #278298

    That’s only ten months’ time. Do you think we should warn him, just on the off-chance?

    Not Red Dwarf related, outside of the vague plan that he’d be involved and killed off in the first episode, but the eeriest “prophetic” dream I’ve had (which I don’t believe in) was that Ronnie Barker had died, then emerged from his coffin before astonished funeral attendees, revealing it all to be a prank. The next morning in the campus newsagent I saw the “goodbye from him” headlines. I hope his coffin had one of those bell things.
