2025-04-26 04:46:39 +0000 UTCAnd the Comedy Connections edition on Red Dwarf, which goes right back to when the writers met in the late 70s and their “prototype” of Dave Lister used on BBC Radio in the 80s. This one does contain major spoilers for S7 and 8 but does go into some other details about the genesis of the show in the 80s that other documentaries don’t quite cover. So either stop watching at 22m 30s or put it on the list only to be watched after S8. https://youtu.be/0hXS8b1_Jl0?si=SGo8yPEjY2eHW3le

2023-10-26 09:36:50 +0000 UTCHere’s an interview/documentary with Howard Goodall, who composed all the music (both intro/outro and incidental) for the show. The most interesting bit is composing and recording the outro song, including some lyrics that weren’t used! https://youtu.be/Mp0oo2_rnSM?si=P0u4mSkGXGN-yiZ5

2023-10-25 21:43:48 +0000 UTCI don’t think it was just the BBC. I don’t think C4 had any sci-fi at that time and on ITV? Forget it! Many of the BBC exec team at that time had moved from ITV companies (Michael Grade who was at LWT was a big influence in this antipathy towards sci-fi at the BBC) so they brought their attitudes towards sci-fi with them. Because sci-fi was seen as a minority market and ITV had to keep eyes on screens to earn cash from advertisers. (In case the Gals aren’t aware, the BBC is funded from the public purse so doesn’t have to kowtow as much to populism). So you had two types of exec at the BBC: the type you mentioned who viewed sci-fi as “lowest common denominator” (but not populist) and those who moved across from the ITV companies, who viewed it as a waste of time and money because it didn’t deliver enough of the goods, which is bums on seats and eyes on screens. So sci-fi like Red Dwarf, Star Cops and Doctor Who were being shat on from both types of manager!

2023-10-24 22:38:39 +0000 UTCI think I can possibly answer Kat as to the negative profiling of SF at the BBC by telling of a friend's encounter in an art gallery in London. He had just been into Forbidden Planet or Dark They Were And Golden Eyed and bought some comics and SF mags and books. He sat in the gallery for a brief spell before having a look round and pulled his purchases from his bag to have a little sort through and flip through the pages. He was sitting opposite a rather smart executive type who glanced over and, seeing what my friend was reading, got up in a great dramatic and very audible huff and marched from the gallery. My friend could only look in mildly bemused astonishment! He might as well had taken out of his bag a particularly spicy edition of Playbeing. Now, thing is, the execs at the top of the BBC have been mainly populated by that exact same gentleman's club, public school 'educated at the high table' type whom haven't really changed at all since those days back in 1913 ( Human Nature and The Family Of Blood ring any bells? ) Anyone caught reading such material in their presence is instantly cast as an immature semiliterate and deserved to be flogged! This is despite such literary giants as Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Carl Sagan, Ursula le Guin, Micaiah Johnson, Bradbury and Heinlein, SF is perceived as teens throwaway sub-culture and therefore easily dismissable rubbish.

2023-10-21 18:19:16 +0000 UTCIt also has the story of the actors applying and auditioning for the parts as well!
Aidan Lunn
2023-10-21 13:49:25 +0000 UTCEDIT: Never mind, I’ve just watched the video and realised it’s the video I linked you to! OOPS!! This is a *GREAT* (and different) documentary about S1. Whereas what you watched for making of S1 was really about the actual recordings, this one focuses more on the struggles they had to even convince the BBC to commission it in the first place. The whole thing is fantastic, especially the bits in the last five minutes where the executive producer knew at a meeting of other BBC executives that the show had been recommissioned for a second series only because a senior executive had expressed slight jealousy that he himself hadn’t done it! https://youtu.be/K15s0ZHATYs?si=6zcSJCgQR4U21_9g

2023-10-21 13:36:05 +0000 UTChey william, i'm a big fan of both red dwarf and sunny, but never no connection ever really occured to me, other than they're both fantastic sitcoms, just wondered what was the common thread you spotted?

2023-10-21 12:10:49 +0000 UTCthanks travis, that's how i remember it, been doubting my own sanity with all these 2007 comments i've seen 😉
paul
2023-10-21 12:08:17 +0000 UTCLoving these documentaries, funnier than I remember them at time. Also, the DVD commentaries are hysterical... Craig doesn't show up to record the series 5 one and they all take turns in impersonating him, pretending he's there... 😅
paul
2023-10-21 10:52:08 +0000 UTChttps://youtu.be/8mlnntKi2no?si=EqrggYe9V4FW1uxm I'm sure someone else had made you aware of this. But I'd be fascinated to see your reaction to the failed US Red Dwarf pilot. Hint: it's not very good.

2023-10-21 10:15:08 +0000 UTCThis is from the Series One DVD. It came out in 2003.

2023-10-20 20:47:25 +0000 UTCSeen Craig live on stage doing his standup. twice. He is really good.

2023-10-20 20:33:54 +0000 UTCRed Dwarf almost makes me think of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The creators of that even tried to make a sci-fi show of there own called Boldy Going Nowhere but it didn't work out.

2023-10-20 20:21:24 +0000 UTCI was sure I'd watched all the behind the scenes/making of stuff, but I didn't remember this one specifically (I do recall the references to Craig and Danny being hung over and Danny showing up in his father's suit for his audition, though those elements may have been referenced in other BTS stuff as well). It is super wild to think of how often something uniquely amazing may come together only in the most oblique of ways - the casting of the crew, how one way or another almost none of them seemed easily slated for the part, with the notable exception of Danny; the way the funding fell into place; how much a struggle it was to get people to read and accept the script. It's just sort of awe inspiring how it seems very much like there's no way you could have made *this* show on purpose and it ending up being a hit. All these elements had to fall together in organic chaos for it tto all come together. Love that.

2023-10-20 19:00:53 +0000 UTCYou must have watched this before starting Series Three. The other making of called "Series II- It's Cold Outside" is like the one you saw for Series (, with segments for each episode. The only spoiler I recall is David Ross talking about on his time on the show and why he couldn't return and mentioning Robert Llewellyn dealing with the makeup in later season. makeup. Oh well, I know you'll get to it when you can.
Bruce Bromley
2023-10-20 18:44:55 +0000 UTCYeah, that will be it.
John Veitch
2023-10-20 18:23:47 +0000 UTCAlway's look forward to these, I think you can watch the REAL series 2 documentry now. You've seen the new Kryten and Hol, so it should be spoiler-free for you. This was good too though!
Brodie Vickers
2023-10-20 18:15:38 +0000 UTCso ... as an American I MAY be wrong, but when they mention "Saturday Night Live" they are not talking about the same one that you may be thinking of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Live_(British_TV_programme)
Seth Brower
2023-10-20 17:24:37 +0000 UTCI’ve just watched the other season 2 making of, and I think the only spoilers for S3 are discussing the cast changes for Kryten and Holly, so now you’ve watched a couple episodes you’re pretty clear of spoilers now. It’s a really interesting doc, so I’m looking forward to when you get to it.
