Script Extracts: A Glimpse of a Shadow Features Posted by Ian Symes on 20th November 2018, 12:01 Well, in the absence of any Series XIII news, and with no Bluray until the new year, we're scrabbling for crumbs. We'll take whatever morsels of intrigue are thrown our way, but when our friend and loyal G&Ter Jonathan "Jonsmad" Young recently got in touch to draw our attention to The Prop Gallery, we didn't realise how intriguing these particular morsels would turn out to be. It's one of those places that sells props, costumes and other film and TV memorabilia, often at somewhat eye-watering prices. In the past, such items have included Red Dwarf scripts, and a quick search reveals that twelve have been sold in total. They're all long gone now, but the listings remain online. As well as providing details of their condition and provenance - many have come from the personal collection of the late, great Peter Wragg - what we're really interested in are those tantalising images of sample pages.

James at Last! Quickies Posted by Jonathan Capps on 4th September 2013, 10:00 Well, this is quite the nice curio for your Friday morning. Somewhere among the fan-fic, Rimmer/Lister gifs and weirdly out of date pictures of the Trojan premiere that make up the Red Dwarf Tumblr tag, a chap called Kyle (grayk85) has posted a clip of the 'Copacabana' scene from Terrorform. What makes this especially interesting, however, is that the clip comes from the original 1992 airing and so features the oft discussed James Last version of the piece, which had to be replaced for all future repeats and home releases because reasons. Kyle's post features a version where he's pasted the audio over the DVD footage, but since this is G&T and we're horrible, pedantic TWATS, we're going to embed the original, low quality, rip below the jump. ENJOY THIS MOMENTOUS DISCOVERY. Read more →
