More classic episodes were shown but I don’t have the ratings for those.
Schedule is here.

[JamesTC]

You may be right, they only aired 6 episodes in a row (one on Wednesday followed by 5 on the Mondays in the lead up to VIII) so it could have been a remastered series.

[JamesTC]

Yes, the above table is much more detailed than the one I posted there.

I’m taking a look through the BARB at the moment and finding a lot of Red Dwarf repeats in the weeks before VIII aired. Does anybody know if these were Series VII repeats?

[JamesTC]

It is for TV I think. Either Sky One or Sky Atlantic. They’re certainly re-editing the original 12 into 6 episodes (which will hopefully lead to a DVD release).

[JamesTC]

Anonymous are big Iain Lee fans.

Do a commentary on your ‘Krytie TV’ commentary.

[JamesTC]

>Where can I get/download the fan film ‘Yeah No Yeah No’?

It is on the Red Dwarf Series VII DVD.

[JamesTC]

But Red Dwarf comes with Sheldon’s recyc water.

[JamesTC]

Seen the episode now.

Penny and Wine vs Red Dwarf. Penny and Wine has no chance.

[JamesTC]

I don’t mind a little inaccuracy. They at least tried.

Besides, 16 million Americans now knowing what Red Dwarf is can only be a good thing.

[JamesTC]

Wikipedia says 61 so Big Bang says 61.

Maybe he includes BTE, the xtended episodes, the animated episodes and the pilot which all get it to 61.

[JamesTC]

>Can we expect a G+T review?

I’m sure Norm will review G&T in one of the later chapters.

Whoever wins… We lose.

Shit cock

CURSE YOU GOD FOR MAKING ME THIS WAY

[JamesTC]

It was the Salt and Vinegars yesterday.

[JamesTC]

They’ve been very good about it up to now. It almost seems like the showrunners of Corrie are fans of Red Dwarf…

But I don’t see why Corrie wouldn’t give him the time off so long as they are given sufficient advance notice (as they were with X) to change any stories they may have had planned (or create stories to fit).

[JamesTC]

As long as Doug and the cast feel they can take it. I’d still be watching in 30 years if they feel they want to still be making it then. Bobby would only be 3 minutes in make-up to get the Kryten mask on by then.

[JamesTC]

They’re still doing it. On Friday it was “The Stinkersons” and “The Opinions”.

[JamesTC]

I’m tempted to write one to see if he does respond.

[JamesTC]

Oh Norm…

Just saw this on twitter “In RDIII, Norman Lovett never attended rehearsals or location shoots but still got the same money as in I and II. #dwarffacts” and Norm responded “@George_Kaplan59 I was not in RD3”.

[JamesTC]

Normoan by name, Normoan by nature.

[JamesTC]

I like his theory on how the version of Lister seen in ‘Stasis Leak’ is the future version (pre-jar) from ‘Out of Time’ (which explains away why Lister didn’t end up marrying the original Kochanski, they changed time by being killed by their future selves).

[JamesTC]

This topic spurred me to check his wikipedia page. On seeing it was locked I decided to check the history. It was vandalised. A lot. One such vandalisation replaced every instance of “Norman” with “Normoan”.

Another states “They all received negative reviews, and ”The Young Ones” was almost cancelled because of his appearance” and adds to the section about his early career where he was a maintenance worker “His work on coffee machines was considered to be “more productive than anything he has done since”.

[JamesTC]

Here is the tweet. You’ll be able to see it if you sign out of twitter (or if you aren’t blocked by her).

[JamesTC]

Shitcock

[JamesTC]

Didn’t Kitty Lovett tweet Si recently after, presumably, searching the name on Twitter? Or do I need to study this diagram more?

You didn’t dream it up.

[JamesTC]

Yeah, he was brilliant in BTE.

[JamesTC]

They used to write for him so it probably means that they have re-used old material.

[JamesTC]

New teaser picture.

[JamesTC]

If I’m honest that has zapped a little enthusiasm away. I know it is thirty five weeks away so they need to save a lot back to keep excitement up but enthusiasm is running on empty with rehashed pictures like that. Posting the picture like the one on Friday was would have been better, just posting as an extra treat rather than as some big thing we should look forward to.

Especially bad on a day when rehearsal is cancelled so NOTHING is happening at all (at least it seems that way for outside observers).

:(

[JamesTC]

>Should have a few more heads up in the coming weeks.

More heads up in the coming weeks means more reveals in the coming weeks!

[JamesTC]

Doug said at the time they were doing the mask test with the BTE version (as shown in that video Dave put up), “Kryten mask test today. Learned a lot. Back to drawing board”. The BTE mask did look a little odd around the eyes, I thought. Though from that little glimpse it seems like the new mask is a little dark around the eyes. Still we should wait for a proper look until we start criticising.

Also while searching for the above quote I found this funny tweet that I missed him originally post, it was in response to a person asking him if Duane Dibbley would be back, “I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t.”

[JamesTC]

Exclusive new image to be revealed tomorrow!

Also, follow Roopesh Parekh on twitter, he is the Marketing and Behind the Scenes Producer for the new series.

[JamesTC]

If you pause when it first comes onto Danny and Chris you can see quite a bit of Rob in the full Kryten outfit. Bigger shoulders.

[JamesTC]

Exclusive on location clip will appear on the Dave website at 5pm.

[JamesTC]

>> Mens Large.
> I’d go for that.

Ooh Matron.

[JamesTC]

[removed picture]

It is over now so the picture can be taken down.

[JamesTC]

And he got in before the tickets were sold thankfully so there isn’t a poor sap out there with an invalid ticket and a hole in their wallet.

[JamesTC]

>She’s claimed that the ticket is cancelled

Hurray!

[JamesTC]

It all shows up for me.

Try this link.

[JamesTC]

She has now even deleted the tweet I got a print screen of. I hope that means she is not selling the tickets now.

[JamesTC]

It seems she has cottoned on that you shouldn’t sell them and has deleted some tweets. I have print screened one of them in which she still mentions she has been offered £50.

[JamesTC]

We never actually seen Archie, it is probably that.

[JamesTC]

2012: The year Red Dwarf X airs and the year Red Dwarf XI is commissioned. Should be good.

[JamesTC]

>The talk about episode 1 showing something to do with Rimmer that’s been referred to previously – any ideas?

Rimmer’s brother Frank?

It does seem odd that we haven’t heard anything about a Starbug set. Maybe it isn’t being built until the new year for the last 4 episodes.

[JamesTC]

He did going by twitter.

[JamesTC]

>Maybe i’ll even come and join you guys for a beer before the filming – whats the worst that can happen eh? I’ll grab a beer!

That sounds like a good idea, hang back at the pub out the way of causing a disturbance but close enough to rush in and catch filming should Doug tweet the magic words.
