spungo Highlie Posts: 527 From: Hell's toilet Registered: Jan 2002	posted July 04, 2002 06:18 Ok - finding reliable-sounding info on the web about this is a little tricky. But - a week or so ago I saw Craig Charles being interviewed on live TV here and he claimed that 'the funding is all in place' and that shooting begins early next year, followed by a release by the end of 2003. ...oh and he was being interviewed whilst bouncing a soccer ball on his head for a couple of minutes (did you know he had try-outs for Liverpool when he was a teenager?) ------------------ "You know, you can praise the lord with silence, Dougal." "Really Ted? Is that like when you told me I could praise the lord just by leaving the room?" "Yes, that was a good one." IP: Logged

Super Flippy Super Geek Posts: 171 From: South Carolina Registered: Jan 2002	posted July 05, 2002 05:56 Cool! I thought he was in jail, though. Oh well, maybe that was a while back. Anyway, I'd love to see a Red Dwarf movie. Which cast of characters do you think they'll include (i.e. at which point in the series will the movie take place)? Personally, I'm hoping to see Duane Dibley. I never laughed so hard in my life! IP: Logged

FatGnome Alpha Geek Posts: 275 From: Idaho Registered: Jan 2002	posted July 05, 2002 11:47 Just one question is "smeg" a word in usage in the UK or was it at some time? The only place I have ever heard it is on Red Dwarf. And if it is a word what would it's american equivalent be? IP: Logged
Drazgal Geek Larva Posts: 27 From: Cleveland, United Kingdom Registered: Nov 2001	posted July 05, 2002 14:34 Smeg isn't a proper word in english and as far as I know we didnt use it over here until the the program came out. IP: Logged

FatGnome Alpha Geek Posts: 275 From: Idaho Registered: Jan 2002	posted July 05, 2002 21:18 Ok thanks. Glad to hear I wasn't a total idiot here and not know a word that I should have. IP: Logged

( ok, we were close, but not 100% on target ) so in effect we could call each other something nasty with out swearing as well. I always thought they meant the same thing in red dwarf. I hope the rumors are true re: the movie! IP: Logged

Well, it FEELS like that long. The only time I'd ever see Craig while not on RD was on RobotWars... heehee, which was spiffy, at least at 2 in the am or so. But anywho, GO KRYTON! HE ROCKS! ------------------ Look at me, dammit, I'm your little princess!! IP: Logged

LifetimeTrekker Highlie Posts: 617 From: Albuquerque, NM, UD Registered: Sep 2001	posted July 06, 2002 07:07 It can't come fast enough...Although they could toss us a bone and release season 9 while they're getting their movie together--or at least release the prior seasons on DVD...my video tapes are becoming worn out!

fussili Neat Newbie Posts: 10 From: Hong kong Registered: Feb 2002	posted July 13, 2002 06:53 Woot =] Getting closer then, I'm a red dawrf fan, have been all my life. With regards to Smeg - it has entered the language of myself and most of my friends - replaces most swearing adequately. The Red Dwarf Official site has been following it through 'casting' (robert llwelyn needs a new kryten head) and read throughs (Danny John Jules "cat" still fluffed his lines). It will be incredible and november is the final date of release for the DVD's (all red dwarf series 1-8 have been out on Video but no DVD yet!) Heeeee's arnold arnold arnold rimmer more reliable than a garden strimmer ... etc =] Nice to see some Geeks on the other side of the atlantic enjoy the BEST comedy on the planet =] IP: Logged

Zwilnik Assimilated Posts: 386 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000	posted July 14, 2002 05:07 Hong Kong is in the top half too I'm glad to see they're keeping the original cast for the movie. IP: Logged

Um...Hong Kong could only be in the top half of the Atlantic Ocean if there's a major geological upheaval..on the scale of the planet Krypton. But, it is in the Northern Hemisphere, so you can consider it as the top-half of the globe. But, since we're taking our view of the globe from the standard display thrust upon us (prolly because of the majority of the land-mass is in the Northern Hemisphere), try to imagine yourself approaching the Earth from outside the solar system, and look at the globe from an inverted position. I wonder if any maps exist with a southern pole orientation? However, back to the topic, I just wish to goodness the series would come out on DVD before I have to order my replacements for the VHS tapes I own...they're beginning to wear out, but I play them anyway. They're prolly trying to find all this "value added" content, but I say to hell with that, I'll just take what can be put on DVD and run with it. I haven't checked, yet, but are the novels continuing to issue new materials? IP: Logged
Zwilnik Assimilated Posts: 386 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000	posted July 14, 2002 10:34 doh, I should read more carefully! The BBC are tending to put whole series out as boxed sets (Blackadder for instance) once they have some 'unique' content, like an unseen episode or something. They do tend to trickle them out though so that they can maximise the returns on each series. IP: Logged
