E5 A9 08 B7 News Posted by Ian Symes on 14th February 2006, 13:00 Valentine's Day, then. As we all know, Camille was first broadcast on 14th February 1991, and had strong love type themes. This was a happy accident, of course, as the series was originally supposed to open with Meltdown, which isn't quite so lovey-dovey.But six years later, Blue was broadcast on Valentine's Day 1997. This too had themes of love; this time the love between two men. One of whom was dead. And it featured one of the most memorable screen kisses ever. And exactly a year later, Valentine's Day 1998, BBC2 made way for Red Dwarf Night, as a symbol of its love for the show. And various other people confessed their love for the show too - Terry Pratchett, Patrick Stewart, and Garry "a beard with an idiot hanging off it" Bushell, to name but a three. Plus, Universe Challenge featurred a montage of Lister snogging various people. And, the evening finished with a repeat of Gunmen, featurring Lister and Loretta shagging in a car. Read more →

It’s a pod! News Posted by John Hoare on 2nd February 2006, 00:26 Just a quickie - Mr. Ellard pointed out on the Webboard a rather interesting podcast containing an interview with Doug Naylor about writing and effects in Red Dwarf (third one down). Well worth a listen - even if the first question is whether Red Dwarf should be characterised as "comedy or effects". Erm, yes. The site is well worth a browse around too, mind. I wish I was talented enough to work in visual effects. On the plus side, at least there's no risk of having my hair burnt off. Read more →
