Why Mr. Barrie...

[kronette.livejournal.com]

From the Daventry Express:

Chris Barrie, who plays Rimmer in the hit science-fiction comedy series, was on hand to sign authographs from a queue of waiting fans.

Speaking to the Daventry Express, the 53-year-old said: “I think the shop is extremely impressive. And what I think it does is put our love for coffee into a very different environment.”

He also has a lot of fond memories of working on the show.

Chris said: “It is hard to pick one favourite moment across the 10 series that we have done, as we are now working on series 11. But Dimension Jump in the fourth series is always a favourite,

While not the best of articles, it does beg the question; working on series 11? I know they're gearing up to do it...at some point...in the near future... Or is that what he meant? They've been flirting and teasing us with a commission...maybe a nice Christmas pressie?

ETA: can anyone get the video to play? It isn't doing anything for me :(

It's not exactly a video, more a collection of moving images, if that makes sense.

I actually tried to post this interview with Craig earlier: http://www.wow247.co.uk/blog/2013/12/19/craig-charles-interview-47933/

He says Series XI is in pre-production. :)

I read it! And I wanted to check Chris' hair - I was right about him growing it out in November :D Now I'm smiling despite my neck still being stiff and sore. It's time to get out and get that last pressie for the little niece, then help mom put on a new toilet seat. Sheesh :)

Of COURSE it's a favorite. THAT'S WHY HE TOOK THE WIG HOME.

*grins maniacally.* You're dying to tell us something, aren't you? :D I suspected. We'll get out Mr. Flibble to extract the information. You will talk to Mr. Flibble...

Nothing that the entire ruddy cast seem to be blabbing about already! ;-)

Well....this is true. Even Richard said he'd read a draft of the first script. It's the anticipation of Christmas spread out over weeks, waiting for that tweet from the Big Man Himself. I went to the store this morning and the cashier said I must have found what I wanted, as I looked very happy. I did find what I want at the store, but that wasn't why I was smiling :)

Yah! *bounces*

I thought so. Probably for shooting some time around February or Marchish, right?

You don't need to answer that. :-)

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

No shooting schedule set yet as far as I'm aware. COME ON DOUG!

I'm not sure whether he's just referring to the fact that "Trojan" was filmed two years ago or whether the words "as yet" are some kind of hint. Hope the latter - I'd love to see Howard again.

Well, vero and I worked out that two years ago on Dec 16 would have been a Friday night; filming night for Trojan most likely. So it was his first appearance as a Rimmer :) We watched the smeg ups for X last night and some of the behind the scenes. "But you were such an utter tuhwhhaaaattt!"

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I checked G&T etc and "Trojan" was filmed on 16/12/11 - I thought so, I was there! :)

I still remember the thrill and laughing like mad at Howard's appearance - I think that was when I knew this was going to be a great ep rather than just an OK one. :D

The X smeg ups are fab, possibly my favourite. There's just such joy and affection between the cast.

Can we fast-forward to XI, please? ;) Nah, not really, but remembering X does bring it all back.
