John's Newsround Again
Sorry this newsround is late; I've been up all night shagging. And Ian's too sore to write it now. So, most of you will probably have read the official site's updates by now, but they're bloody good, so we'll go through it anyway.
Firstly, - and I can't tell you how excited I am over this - a DVD Details article on the Series III deleted scenes! I was terrified we wouldn't get one this time, and we'd have to wait untl November 3rd. Even better, it looks like these are even more interesting than the ones for the first two series. 26 in all, dammit - the most interesting being ones that were cut for effects reasons, and (fascinatingly) eight Holly jokes, six of which would have been used for episode intros as per Series I and II (the rest of the intro was never recorded). And there's plenty of other amazing stuff too - just read the article. Some footage has sadly been lost (the famous first Kryten scene where Robert keeps getting electocuted) - but so much great stuff has been recovered that you can't feel too upset. We're lucky that most of the footage survives. Did I mention I'm quite looking forward to November 3rd? (It's also revealed that Australian viewers will have to wait until November 12th.)
As if that wasn't enough, the other two updates are great as well. Three Dimensional takes a timely look at the changes Series III brought to the show. It's a bloody good piece, with some great points made (particuarly about Kryten's introduction). And there's also a short reminder that Series 2 of Brittas is released this Monday, which reveals that the This Morning "interview" on the packaging acually includes some behind-the-scenes footage from the show. Brilliant.

On the subject of Series III, I've just got back from Tesco's with the Daily Mirror...The free Office DVD and collectors pack that comes with it
is part of a 7x DVD offer running today and the next 6 Saturdays...No 3 in the set is Red Dwarfs
'Last Day' Episode..Todays Office disc came with the paper, but the rest are Tokens for Woolworths.
The Set=The Office,Porridge,Red Dwarf,Alan Partridge,Eastenders,Open all Hours and Ad Fab..
Why Eastenders is included is possibly The BBC finally coming clean about Eastenders not being serious telly :)

I was just about to write a news story on that, you bastard.

Oops, My appologies, I thought I would mention it straight away to give people a chance to get todays mirror, only there seems little news about this anywhere unless of course, you buy the paper everyday...I'm surprised rd.co didn't report it yesterday..It is after all another feather in the Red Dwarf Cap...so err sorry..

You're alright, Darling. I was only joking. I imagine the official site will report on it when its RD's turn. But then, they didn't report on the Series II one.
Posted by Ian Symes at October 18, 2003 09:44 PM
I think the ser II Promo, did get a mention at some stage, I think anyone wanting the set would have liked to have known about it before the event
on rd.co...Still I shouldn't complain..Ser III out soon and the Corgi Models, hell I havn't bought a Corgi for years :)
Posted by Cpt-D at October 18, 2003 09:57 PM
And I suggest you don't buy them this time just to make sure they know how crap we think those models are. No response from RD fans = fans not impressed by RD Corgi models = potential rethink for movie ship designs by GNP.

With all due respect, They are 'Toys' even though some class them as 'collectables', the thing is,I doubt they will be that realistic anyway..The very fact a company as long standing and as big as Corgi deem Red Dwarf big enough to make models of is good for all fans...The more Merchandise out there spreading the name, the better.

The Starbug toy looks very good.
The Red Dwarf one looks very bad.
That is all.

I sorry to interupt this conversation about the toys, but I just wanted to talk a bit about the subject here. Right - What a shame we'll never get to Robert Llewellyn's Famous First Day :-(.
MESSAGE ENDS.
