None of the main cast were professional actors before starting Red Dwarf, Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) was probably the closest to that, he was in a comedy troupe but acted in plays -that’s how he got the Kryten gig as he played a robot in a satirical play he wrote called ‘Mammon, Robot born of Woman.’ Holly (Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge) were both stand ups - both dead pan and Hattie was known as the female Norman on the circuit. Craig Charles (Lister) was a punk poet Danny John-Jules (Cat) was a dancer Chris Barrie (Rimmer) was an impressionist - most famously in Spitting Image

2024-03-18 01:02:56 +0000 UTCA lot of people preferred the earlier series of Red Dwarf and thought 5 and 6 weren't as good. If I remember correctly one of the writers left for these two series. I liked them all though, series 8 I was less fond of however

2023-12-01 04:39:09 +0000 UTCAn amazing reaction once again King! Are you aware that each season has a special episode showing all of the outtakes of that season? They are brilliant and full off laughs! Plus you get to peek at the personalities of the actors when they slip up. The special episodes are called "The Smeg Ups" and each episode is hosted by your favourite droid Kryten. Maybe you could react to a special episode at the end of each season 😉

2023-12-01 00:31:56 +0000 UTCChris Barrie (Rimmer) really is a very good mimic for accents and the like (as you said). I might have said this before but my memory is pretty shot, Chris does all the character voices on the audiobook versions of Red Dwarf episodes and they are really fun.

2023-11-30 22:29:44 +0000 UTCI love Jane Horrocks, she's a much beloved gem of an actress over here, I remember the first time I ever saw her in the film 'Life is Sweet' in the arthouse cinema in my university at the time, which would have been 2 years before this episode, actually Mike Leigh is a real gem of a British director who makes the most quintessentially British films, I'd love to see you watch one of his kitchen sink dramedies one day.

2023-11-30 20:32:54 +0000 UTCAnother absolute favourite of mine - anything focusing on Rimmer is always going to be great. So many great lines. "I have come to regard you as... people... I met." Also great to see the brilliant Jane Horrocks in a lovely role against Chris. No doubt they had a fun time with their scenes together. Jane naturally has a very, VERY strong East Lancastrian accent - so her just being incredibly posh here is amazing. Well it was to us at the time in 1992.
