From July:

“We put a lot of hard work into ‘The Promised Land’ so it is most satisfying to hear that it has generally been well received.

Back in April I enjoyed linking up with Paul Jackson, Rob Grant and Ed Bye for a Red Dwarf webinar and subsequently contributed to two ‘Lockdown Theatre’ productions. All good fun and an excellent way to break up the routine of life under ‘lockdown’.

As for TV projects, I simply do not know at this stage. I hear that the filming of some drama and comedy is going ahead and I also hear that more Red Dwarf product may be in the offing, but we shall just have to wait and see!”

[Stephen Abootman]

I remember Richard Naylor saying in that twitter Q&A he did in April that he might know more soon so entirely possible conversations have taken place as to what could be next.

Also I’m sure that other thread posted about what Doug said on Twitter wasn’t showing up when I did so above, just in case it looks like I didn’t bother to check.

[Stephen Abootman]

Not sure this is an update on anything (depends how much you want to read into it I guess) but fuck it. As a response on twitter to “Will there be any more Red Dwarf projects in the future?” Doug said “If I was a betting man I’d say: definitely, 100% yes and yes.” In reply to a follow up asking whether he just confirmed a new series he said, “No I just gave you my opinion if I was a betting man. It got the biggest numbers on UKTV in 7 years.”

[Stephen Abootman]

Alternate ending: Talkie Toaster makes Lister several rounds of toast. He takes his eyes off them for 2 seconds and the cats appear out of nowhere and start licking them. The crew then use this distraction something something…
FIN.

[Stephen Abootman]

Doug’s full quote was “Well, I’m out of work at the moment so you never know….” so if now’s not a good time to consider it given the current situation then I don’t know when would be.

[Stephen Abootman]

Some responses of note from this:

-The documentaries will be coming “later in the year” & “It’s not been decided yet”
-There are no plans for this to be the last show they do and Doug hopes to see more feature length specials.
– This one is “It’s quite unlike anything we’ve done b4. The two live studio audiences laughed a lot. Posse on top form, great guest stars, space battles, pathos, explosions, 500 plus VFX shots. Wonderful score.”
– “There are sequences you couldn’t shoot with miniatures though so most is CG but #Axis the company we used with Howard Jones Supervisor have done a truly gob smacking job on our VFX budget”
– “It’s not RD 13. It’s Red Dwarf The Promised Land. CB is a bit superstitious and didn’t want to call it 13. So we called it RDTPL and as I’m sure you’re aware absolutely nothing has gone wrong since.”
– Doug says “you never know” to another RD novel in future
– Holly is back permanently
– On the topic on the budget for it: “Dave wanted us to make a 90 minute special in a 120 minute slot with a bit more money. They thought it would lead us to making something different to anything we’d made b4. And they’ve turned out to be right.” [The movie that didn’t happen] “had a budget of £20 million. This is something completely new and fresh.” “It’s the same budget as Red Dwarf XII but instead of making 6 x 30 mins we’re making 90 minutes and the rest of the £ makes 3x 45 min docs. As a consequence @RichardDGNaylor figured our we could claim a tax credit for RDTPL so that has helped too.”
– On a possible commentary for DVD/BR: “I wanted to do one for free ( the DVD budget can afford free)with @RichardDGNaylor and we still might but the idea has gone up in smoke a bit due to CV. We might do one as a podcast”
– Bobby mask timings: “Definitely a lot more comfortable, and not so hot. Still roughly 2 hours to put on, 1 hour to take off. But massive improvement”

Doug appears to be in favour of specials over series

I hope so.

— Doug Naylor (@DougRDNaylor) March 20, 2020

I agree.

— Doug Naylor (@DougRDNaylor) March 20, 2020

[Stephen Abootman]

Certainly possible as Richard Naylor said on twitter when the special was announced that “There was an option to make two specials back to back but wanted to test the format first”. So you could certainly make the leap to think that if this goes well then there might be 2 or 3 more.

No luck here either and Lost in TV have confirmed they’ve all gone. However, there is the standby list:

“it’s the day before filming we release them. Although bear in mind they are only standby tickets, so entry is reliant upon ticket-holders not turning up. But most on standby do get in, so it can be worthwhile if you live locally or don’t mind taking a risk.”

Update https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/10/danny-john-jules-admits-not-everyone-signed-new-red-dwarf-series-10717026/

“Danny John-Jules says Red Dwarf is ‘waiting to get everyone signed up’. With the four leads having their own work commitments, including Danny’s one man show I’ve Got To Be Me, there’s a bit of jostling going on to bring everyone on board. But fans of the sci-fi show needn’t worry, the show is on track to return once the cast is locked in. Speaking to Metro.co.uk at the TV Choice Awards on Monday night, he said of the new series: ‘It’s gonna be funny. ‘We’re just waiting for the ink and the stamps to go down. ‘I’m doing my one-man show so I’m not really concentrating on Red Dwarf. I’m not in Cat mode because I can do that like a light switch.

‘Right now it’s about trying to get everybody signed up.’

He added that no one has seen a script or any potential ideas for new episodes yet, and asked if there is anything he would like to see happen to his character, Danny is fine just to go with the flow. The actor told us: ‘I never ask anybody to write anything. I never have in 31 years. I’ve never asked for more lines. ‘When my character was the smallest I never asked for a bigger part. Why tamper with success?’

So what does he think is the key to Red Dwarf’s ongoing success? Danny, 59, insisted: ‘The key is talent. Showbiz. That’s what we’re here for, so every single person should be on that road, otherwise why are we here? ‘The actors are all dedicated to their characters and that’s why it works. There’s not any magic. ‘You don’t see us all hanging out at the pub every week. Why do you not see photos of all the Red Dwarf cast together? We’ve been in the show 31 years. Because we’re all individuals.’ Hopefully those individuals can get their acts together to bring us another hilarious series.”

[Stephen Abootman]

Fair play to the Express for still churning out Dwarf cast member articles over a month on:

https://www.express.co.uk/celebrity-news/1163790/Red-Dwarf-cast-season-13-Kryten-Robert-Llewellyn-baby-Kryten-news

“Meanwhile, Robert also revealed when fans could hope to see Red Dwarf XIII on screens.

“We start working on it at the end of November this year,” he spilled.

“I imagine we’ll go out early spring next year — I’m just guessing from previous experience.

“I haven’t had any of that confirmed,” the Kryten star cautioned.

The actor said the cast had spent “a lot of time together” this year, revealing his excitement to be back filming in autumn”

[Stephen Abootman]

Bit of a pointless update but the AA site has been updated with the behind the scenes video that everyone’s seen already.

The Red Dwarf section is quite high up on the ‘what’s on’ page of the Lost In TV site (https://lostintv.com/tv-show?id=298) It may well have not budged a smegging inch the last 4 years for all I know but have registered for info updates anyway just in case someone jumps the gun.

[Stephen Abootman]

Do UKTV still do their ‘UKTV Live’ thing? Think that used to be around September time so that would be one possibility for an announcement if so.

Touched upon previously but they’ve now quoted Craig as saying: “Filming is going to commence in November through to the December and that’s all we can say really.”

[Stephen Abootman]

>I will happily concede that both the BBC buyout of UKTV and the exposure from the AA ad make XIII more likely to happen

Plus Dave’s advert for moving channel where they got the model unit in and the blurb on their corporate website that says “It’s not just in front of the camera where the comic genius lies either, with a wealth of scripted treasure such as Sliced, Porters and the globally popular Red Dwarf” [2 shows that aired new episodes in the last 3 months and one that aired a year and a half ago] suggests they very much regard Dwarf as an active concern (I don’t see them promoting repeats of Top Gear or Zapped alongside all their new shows for instance).

Sixty Seconds with Craig Charles

Craig comments on Jacko (so this thread seemed liked the best place to put it). They don’t ask about Dwarf though if you fancy a game of ‘spot the quote from it’ then you’re in luck.

Chris has done a news update on his site and there’s no reference to the small rouge one whatsoever. More on this story as it develops.

[Stephen Abootman]

Plenty of good comedians and comedy actors out there, they won’t be allowed anywhere near Comic Relief’s endless parade of light entertainment celebs making scripted jokes though.
Partridge and an unexpected appearance from Paul Putner in a skit were the only highlights. Always seems like a massively missed opportunity considering the names it can attract to do something like a one off Taskmaster featuring people who’d never sign up for it normally.

[Stephen Abootman]

More Partridge during Comic Relief on Friday:

“10:35pm-midnight, BBC1

As part of his welcome return to the BBC, Alan Partridge will be doing his bit for Comic Relief. Watch Steve Coogan spin comedy gold out of the gauche, perpetually discombobulated Partridge, as he attempts to raise money on the streets of Norwich.”

Kirk making love to a mountain would have been far more entertaining than most of Series 11

Great to see a cameo from Rimmer’s self loathing beast in Discovery this week.

[Stephen Abootman]

I’d be up for it but it should probably be for anything except Red Dwarf, wouldn’t want this place to suffer because of it.

Although if there is a ‘why I don’t like VII/VIII/Timewave’ channel that everything can go into instead, that might not be a bad thing.

[Stephen Abootman]

Yup, if there’s going to be 2 poor episodes out of 12 probably best not to bother.

[Stephen Abootman]

From the series V DVD booklet:

“”We have to go!”
Kryten’s recorded line in The Inquisitor is actually re-used in the final edit of Back to Reality as the crew flee the Esperanto, replacing a longer section of Kryten dialogue.”

The original line of course being, “we have to go and purchase a Kembrook pressure cooker, sir”

[Stephen Abootman]

“It says in the manual: the orange heating light will go on and the green power one will”

Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb

[Stephen Abootman]

Hard to disagree with any of that. Can see why there isn’t many attempts at humour in it these days if the best on offer is ‘the wifi’s down’ ‘what do we do?’ ‘we’ll have to have a conversation’.

If XIII & XIV aren’t going to be filmed back to back but Doug has a number of scripts that he thinks are good to go then an 8 episode run seems like a good compromise, especially if a live show is next on the agenda after XIII.

[Stephen Abootman]

Certainly the impression given from one of the documentaries was that filming 12 episodes in pretty much one go was not something that anyone involved was particularly keen to repeat.

[Stephen Abootman]

I met DJJ last weekend and asked if he thought they’d be back in the studio this year and he said they would (then told me to go and wind up Bobby about him being worried that filming dates would clash with Fully Charged ones).

[Stephen Abootman]

I think Timewave might have been the most viewed episode of XII in the official figures (if not, very very close) so I suppose for Dave it would be a big success.

[Stephen Abootman]

Would like to see (at some point) a 30-40 mins Dave era smeg ups shows, preferably with Kryten links. Am sure there must be plenty that wasn’t on the DVDs (certainly I can think of 3 or 4 good examples just from the 3 recordings I went to alone).

My setting up of an imgur account for the sole purpose of posting these pics has seemed to have become an advert in itself as it’s had over 1500 views and various comments along the lines of ‘Red Dwarf is on this Thursday?’

Naylor Jr: “That first #RedDwarfXIi episode when originally assembled was 41minutes long. Had to take eleven minutes out of it. 🙀✂️✂️✂️”

A report that tells us nothing we didn’t know already. Great that people are still asking ‘will there be a Red Dwarf movie?’ though.

Looking forward to reading what comes out of the Q&A (unless Craig makes the “it was like The Who reforming, only nobody died” joke yet again).

One idea for Timewave,relating to the synopsis:

The crew go back in TIME to 90s America where Rob Grant and Doug Naylor are pitching the US Red Dwarf and being referred to as the WAVE of negativity. Donald Trump turns up for some reason and takes them all aboard a ship he owns and makes their criticism illegal on there. He is then hit by a WAVE and erased from TIME itself unfortunately.

A week today you can tell us if it’s any good or not then :P
