Ian's Newsround - 09/04/04
Curses. Foiled by our own journalistic excellence. Or something. Yes. Robert Llewellyn's site has relaunched. Do you want the G&T version, or the TOS version? Well, the TOS version fails to mention that the new site looks like a steaming pile of shit, so we win on that score. It does mention, however, that Llewellyn, R. and Charles, C. will be at Memorabilia at the NEC on 17th and 18th April. Hurrah! Memorabilia fairs are good, so go.
This bit of news is also repeated in the Weapons Of Mass Distraction article. Re-using news? Tsk! Ahem. If you'd like to see John's amusing interpretation of the press release, try our version. If you want some merchandise news, however, stick with TOS. Ooh, new bottlestoppers. There's the old Kryten one, a Starbug one... and, oh look, a PENCIL. Did you know that The Stamp Centre originally designed one based on the original ship, but GNP made them change it to the re-mastered one, despite The Stamp Centre preferring the original? True story. One final note - Weapons of Mass Distraction is the worst TV show title ever. SATIRES.
Hurrah! An interview with Judy Pascoe! Rack off, Craig, you're a double-dag, mate. Or something. The interview charts Judy's career, from the circus to stand-up to Red Dwarf to writing. She's a bit depressed about the process of writing novels, bless her. We don't really learn much about Dwarf, other than that the cast would "do anything to get back". The movie funding problems are solved - get the cast to whore themselves for �1,000 a go. Where's my savings account?

I've started hoping now that the movie *does* fall through, because I'm fucking sick of hearing about it.
It'll never get made either way, so at least if it falls through sooner rather than later they can do something on telly before they're all pensioners.

They should just cobble together whatever money they can, under the pretence of making the movie.
And then go and make "Earth", and say "Whoops, sorry folks, this was meant to happen instead of the end of Series VIII, now the series can rest easy without you having to worry about whether or not we'll make the Series IX that we're never actually going to get round to making, because let's face it, bringing back Rimmer as the pre-accident Rimmer was rather silly when he clearly looks a good ten years older".
Bitter? Me? Naaaaahh....

Erm...why was my comment deleted?

I also did the Memorabilia and Bottle Stoppers news in my latest round-up.
Why don't I get paid for this?

I've got a Red Dwarf script I wrote when I was 13 called 'Fire' if they want it...

I had 6 on my site. They were, arguably better ideas than Series VII

Joey, John originally posted under my name by mistake on this thread, and altered it using the magic of the admin system. Either he fucked up, or there's been a boo-boo with the code. There could be a more sinister explanation, of course.

Ahh that's alright then, no worries!
