Behind The Scenes

[felineranger.livejournal.com]

With all the great stories peeps are bringing back from DJ, it's got me wondering what people's favourite RD stories are from the cast. I don't mean personal stories about meeting them, but more the stories that they've told about making the show over the years. What is your favourite moment from behind the scenes that you've heard about from the commentaries, documentaries or Robert's memoirs?

I am now c/ping this Tumblr post of mine as these parts of "Rubber Mask" deserve a wider audience. ;)

I’ve only ever listened to it as an audiobook, but having picked up the first edition in a charity shop I’ve been reminded how funny and fascinating it is.

Regarding “Demons & Angels” - “Chris was in a kinky stockings-and-suspenders Nazi whip-me fantasy, something he felt very at home in”.

“At the end of that day we were all a mass of bruises and minor burns, except Chris. Actually, I think he secretly wanted to get on his motorbike and ride home in his kinky Low Rimmer outfit. But maybe that’s just me projecting.”

And this description of Craig and Danny going clubbing: “Suddenly three very smartly dressed black men would enter the hotel bar escorted by four or five drop-dead-beautiful women, and Craig and Danny would go off clubbing, which I assume has something to do with sex in interesting positions with people of a like mind, which is why they all joined a club.”

“This is the story of my life, everyone else goes clubbing, I go off to bed.”

“The Prince of Packet is a popular nickname for Mr Charles. This is due to the mildly shocking size of his lower member, or tummy banana, otherwise known as packet.”

Etc, etc. :)



Sadly, the written version is missing Craig’s joke about his ancestry in relation to his endowments. :p


Maybe that’s in the updated print version? Which I think I’m going to have to request as a present. :p


It’s not in my updated (2012) version. Robert said he plans to write more, though, so if someone could remind him to add it in for the next edition…


That would be an interesting tweet. :D
