Just a bit from Craig, thanking Corrie Street for giving him the time off (yah!), and talking about the costumes and reiterating that there will be a live audience: http://entertainment.stv.tv/tv/269176-craig-charles-thanks-coronation-street-for-time-off-to-film-red-dwarf/.

"Everyone is back on board and they are building the sets now at Shepperton." Don't know where that is, but at least we have a location now!

We shall hold out hope there will be some word on obtaining tickets one of these days soon! :-)

Shepperton is south west of London actually. Not to far from it. You can Google maps Shepperton Studios and find it. :-)

I am too damn excited for the new series. I've been a fan since at least 94 when I saw Marooned on PBS when I turned to the channel to watch Dr. Who. Hey, it was the old Tom Bakker episodes of Dr. Who. :-)

I used to watch RD on PBS back in 94 or around then - I'd just gotten out of college and was living by myself for the first time with no roommates and could watch what I wanted when I wanted!

For 17 years I have remembered 2 things: Lister's reaction to Kryten's Polaroid; and never heat gazpacho.

That's the nice thing about having a geek mom and a geek sister, I always got to watch the geeky shows I loved.
never heat gazpacho.
Yes and 25 of Nov is gazpacho soup day.

I hate my PBS station right now because they never did run the BtE special. So, I had to buy it to see it. I'm sure that's what I'll have to do with the new ones, too. *Shakes fist at IPTV.*

I'm wondering if they'll air at all on BBCA. I know it's not a BBC production, so I'm not sure about the access, there.

It's not out of the question - I know for a fact that BBC America have shown (British) Channel 4 programmes, so obviously they do show non-BBC productions. :)

I remember seeing some of Red Dwarf on BBCA, but given that back in 2009 or even 2010 when BtE was aired I do not recall seeing it even on BBCA. So, I'm not holding my breath.

X-files... *sighs* My first introduction into Fan Fic.. *sighs* I joined the X-files Fan club just to read fan fiction. :-)

I remember when My PBS station was running Brittas on Saturdays and I was cutting hair in my salon and I had to turn my client to face the TV so I could watch it. I finally just didn't schedule clients when it was on.

I actually can't remember when I saw my first Red Dwarf episode (probably around 1990), although I remember really liking "Parallel Universe". :D

I had an earlier slash moment, watching "Demons and Angels" in the living room with my family. I remember Low Rimmer sashaying down those steps and threatening Lister. I was embarrassed and thrilled at the same time - I think I was in my mid-teens. :)

I was thrilled by the kiss, but it's a shame they showed so little of it in the show itself. I suppose it would have stopped being funny and started being hot - which obviously wasn't the effect they were going for.

Seriously, When I saw that, I spit my Coke at the screen and say "holy fuck, they just read my mind." I thought the ten seconds of it they showed was smokin' hot.

Kind of like that photo in your icon. YOWZA.

I can't watch the spider bit either. Yuck.

Yes, what I've always wondered is how the audience reacted to the rest of that kiss. (I know it wasn't live; I mean the audience they showed it to for the laugh track.)

Yeah I saw this on telly yesterday (on a show called 'This Morning'). Was so excited!

Really want to try and get to the filming in January....

I'm on a repeat loop, I know, but ... if you can work it out and find out about ticket access, let me know because that would be about the only time I know I could go. (End of the year is always iffy because of all the special issues we publish that I have to coordinate. ERGH.)

If I hear anything about tickets etc, I'll obviously post it here. I think Miss Flibble's better connected than I am, though. ;)

Don't worry. I know you're chomping at the bit to get some. Even yesterday, my inner circle were still expressing excitement and scratching their heads as to how to get tickets. Will definitely post details as soon as I know anything.

If I could quit work and get the money to fly back to the UK, I would be up for it.

I used to have both the money and the time but working at Wally World, they just don't pay enough.

I was downsized two years ago and Wally World was the only place hiring. I needed a job so here I am.

If I were 20 again, I would. Now I'm just old and have money - someone else can camp and I'll buy my ticket. :-)

Hell, I'm 35 and I'd do it. I'd even bring my tent and my sleeping bag. I don't care. I'd be out of the US and some place I love.

I just mean, I don't camp. If God wanted me to sleep outdoors he would've made my skin bug-repellant and fitted my back with a concrete block, LOL. (I was forced to camp with my fraternity in college. It was cold and to this day I contract bronchitis too readily.)

*Nods*
I completely understand.
I'd do just about anything to get the hell away from my life right now. I am feeling like Rimmer tied up on that pole infront of his self-loathing beast. right now.

It was cold and to this day I contract bronchitis too readily.
I am the same way, though. If I am not careful, my normal winter cold I get about October turns into bronchitis by January and I have it until April.

That was my life for several years of this decade. I'm sorry to see ANYONE else having to go through that.

I don't camp either. Especially not in Britain in January. *brrr*

Oh, Season 8. *heartmarks in eyes* Rimmer was totally Arn-Ace come back to stay with his family, IMO. ;-)

Brilliant never thought of that.

I don't think that he was our Rimmer quite yet. I actually like to think that our Rimmer came back saved Resurrected Rimmer and convinced him to take his place. (hence why BtE we have Hard Light Rimmer back.)

Oh, [livejournal.com profile] metalkatt and I wrote a whole long story on our premise. And had a lot of fun doing it. ;-)

Oh yes, I just read that recently, too.

That was quite an epic one. I enjoyed it. Very very good story.
