Yeah, I assume there is a possibility that having an audio version on the go actively works against the likelihood of a TV commission, because you have a competing version out there, so I can understand Doug not wanting to go down that route until the TV options are absolutely exhausted. 

Wild speculation on my part but I’ve generally assumed Naylor didn’t have the time to QA an audio/other Red Dwarf stories. Or rather, it’s all well and good having Red Dwarf coming out of your buttski but you need to watch what you eatski.

[Ridley]

I think it’s cruel to make a warbodog eat that.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All
those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to laugh.

As long as the answer is Sonic you’re fine.
I messaged Peter Parter on the Twitters a while back to inquire after him but that was post-Musk and my own checking in on that was few and far between before that whole passcode system got implemented. (Arrogantly assuming my sliding into his DMs is even welcome.)

It clearly screen matches, Dave, pay attention.

I was living and working in the United States when Red Dwarf first aired and it wasn’t until 1993 or 1994, on a return to the UK, that – switching channels one night – I came in this middle of this programme, clearly a science-fiction programme, and at once to my horror and outrage what I thought I saw was a rip-off of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I was already reaching for the telephone to call my lawyer when something happened that made me laugh and it was something that certainly would not have happened on The Next Generation.

So… I left the telephone where it was and I went on watching and, I think within a few moments, I had got what the show was and, and I was laughing all the time.

For me, what made it then and what continues to make this show SO appealing is that it is at times so close to the television series that I recorded for seven years and so delightfully mmmakes a mock of the kind of show that I was doing.

I- I sometimes wish that we could have introduced some of that same wild ironic humour into The Next Generation.

 Oh, it’s possibly the most trans-friendly place I’ve been online outside of dedicated LGBTQ+ spaces.

I’m interpreting this as G&T being a G&T place.

Colin McFarlane has a pretty distinctive voice.

I don’t get it.

I’ve fallen about four/five years behind but I guess I can skip ahead once in a while.

This but it’s a time wand clip.

Seems to be getting out of the rut I hear it’s been in for a very long time, unless it’s always been good and people have just been morning excessively.  A fandom wouldn’t do that though, would it? 

I was once saw a(n offsite) forum post saying they who had dropped off around season 10 might want to check back in as it had gotten better again which at the time was about S21 so I watched an episode and it did seem to be an improvement.

Then I rewatched 1-10, Disney+ came along so have seen seasons 11 through 25 since and, no, Zombie Simpsons for me still starts after the end of the S9 production block.

You ampersand a twart.

There we go.

[Ridley]

Using an ampersand in that way should be illegal.

Is it fair to assume that the Cat would have become the show’s sorta kinda mascot if Kryten hadn’t become a main character? Or is it a world where Holly presents Smeg Ups?

[Ridley]

A Teen Titans Go! fan, huh? I don’t buy it.

[Ridley]

So yeah, because of that and also because of how my brain works, it would have to be all or nothing.

Perhaps you could learn to love The Bill?

I like Red Dwarf.

(Babylon 2’s a big pile of smeg.)

[Ridley]

They tried that with the mobisodes but having to wheel in so many potato batteries proved prohibitive.

Or Rushy can bump the old one.

There’s a jump scare of Phil putting Holoship at the top in there though.

[Ridley]

Narratively useful that his screen time is next to zero too.

[Ridley]

[Ridley]

there’s gotta be some payoff. 

Big CGI dog it is!

[Ridley]

Needles to say I didn’t take drugs.

[Ridley]

Almost certainly Phil.

[Ridley]

Imagine you’re the Cat then.
