DwarfCast 70 – Mac McDonald Interview DwarfCasts Posted by Ian Symes on 1st April 2016, 12:01 Subscribe to DwarfCasts: RSS • iTunes Somewhat foolishly, film star, comedy veteran and Space Corps captain Mac McDonald willingly allowed two members of the G&T team to enter his home. This is the resultant conversation, which takes in such topics as duetting with Dolly Parton, being terrified of Sean Connery, illicit sexual encounters during the filming of Series 1, cereal and fat jokes. Ian Symes is your host, and his posse consists of Danny Stephenson and Jo Sharples. An enormous thank you to Mac for his time, hospitality and pecan cake. Read more →

The Rob Grant Interview Features Posted by Jonathan Capps on 30th August 2004, 23:00 Since the split of the writing partnership of Grant Naylor, Rob Grant has most certainly been the quiter of the two. TV series of 'The Strangerers' and 'Dark Ages' were fairly low profile but his books 'Backwards', 'Colony' and 'Incompetence' received critical acclaim. The sad absence of Rob from the DVDs has been rectified in small amount thanks to his recent appearance on Comedy Connections and now Rob has kindly agreed to an interview with The White Hole, talking about the past present and future of his career. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 'crunchy half' of Grant Naylor... Read more →

The Mike Tucker Interview Features Posted by Jonathan Capps on 12th August 2004, 23:00 Mike Tucker is one cog in the genius machine that is (was) the BBC VisFX department, and has worked on Red Dwarf since the first series. Apart from seeing his name on screen in form of a nice in-joke (the manufacturer of Kryten's Psi-Scan is 'Tucker Enterprises') Mike has also appeared in an episode of Red Dwarf and Kryten's love-blob, Camille; but his acting was limited to wheeling around on an office chair, wearing a blob suit.
