John's Newsround - 30/1/04
Sigh. After all that excitement, let's get on with things.
- TOS updates, then. Firstly, there's DJXII, which we've reported on - but new info is that Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn, and Norman 'Every other year' Lovett have already confirmed - with the magical caveat "work permitting". Forms and stuff are also now avaliable on TOS (as well as on TORDFC) - that page also gives us a look at the logo. (UPDATE: Actually, it hasn't. It's just a temporary one knocked up by Andrew Ellard. See comments.) Very classy, although it's a pity it's the Re-mastered Blue Midget...
- This is just great, though. Buy the two new Red Dwarf T-shirts from (released, erm, tomorrow - review soon, probably) from RDSUK for £34.99, and get the VI DVD for half-price - that's £7.49! Even before this offer was announced, we recommended you go to RDSUK - now you'd be stupid not to. Cancel your Play orders. They're tax-dodging fascists anyway. Maybe.
- Oh, and there's a glimpse of the Region 4 artwork - along with a release date: April 7th. HA HA WE GET OURS ON THE 21ST FEBRUARY AND EVEN AMERICA GETS IT ON 15TH MARCH YOU'RE RUBBISH.
- Onto fansite news. Austin of Garbage World has updated his Science of Red Dwarf article with a section on Series V. Groovetown now has a new forum moderator in The White Hole's Cappsy, but is still looking for a song editor. And Seb Patrick is having problems with Fuchal, but all should be sorted out soon. And just when is Danny going to update RDZ?
Go on, leave me plenty of comments. We've got over 4000 to make up for...
Comments
"You poor Australian fans. Red Dwarf VI will be arriving in Region 4 on DVD on April 7th. That's even later than the American release for V and VI of March 15th. How you suffer for your devotion."
You see? Andrew Ellard understands. Not enough to change the release date, though, I'll bet.

Thank you so much for your sensitivity.
Cunt. >:-[

I like the logo

You could go the HIGNFY way, and just add Alledgedly to the end :)

Just FYI, that logo is something I knocked up quickly for rd.co.uk - it's only temporary until the club deliver their official DJ XII logo.
Sorry about the wait in Region 4. We can't do anything to change it, but believe me I have utter sympathy.
By Andrew on 30-01-05 @ 13:24
Well, they might get the movie made over there, and then get to sneak onto the set and fly over it in helicopters, so it's only fair :)
Thanks Andrew

I never did understand why they gave Blue Midget legs like that.

"I never did understand why they gave Blue Midget legs like that."
Same here. The legged BM was first seen before VIII was even written soit can;t have been purely for *that* dance scene. Maybe they thought having it walk would be funny in some way? God I hate jokes purely based on CGI.

"Maybe they thought having it walk would be funny in some way?"
Not necessarily
By Drzymala on 30-01-05 @ 21:51
They probably just wanted it to look cooler. It's a nice idea, but two things stop it being good:
a) It looks rubbish compared to the old modelwork, and
b) I really like the original idea of Blue Midget - as a car. Putting legs on it dilutes this idea, really - as you're concentrating more on the legs than anything else.
By John Hoare on 30-01-05 @ 22:01
I wish they'd do a similar T-shirt offer for Region 1. It's a bit crap that they haven't...I'm very, very jealous.
By Phil on 31-01-05 @ 03:59
Concenrating on the legs? lol
Not taking the piss John, just made me chuckle :D
By Drzymala on 31-01-05 @ 07:48
Her long, blue, shaply legs.
By John Hoare on 01-02-05 @ 00:04
I just splurged
By Drzymala on 01-02-05 @ 23:39
Too much self-gratification on G&T these days.
By Chris the Dolochimp on 03-02-05 @ 01:28
I remember when G&T used to be about family values.
By Austin Ross on 03-02-05 @ 01:53
It was never about family values :D
By Drzymala on 03-02-05 @ 07:44
Yes it is. It's about love and big domestic arguments.
By Tanya Jones on 03-02-05 @ 08:34
Ian 'Big Love' Symes. He's got it written on all his stationary

Links don't work in comments no more. FIX THIS.
By Austin Ross on 03-02-05 @ 17:44
My last light bulb in my room is about to die. FIX THIS.
By Cappsy on 03-02-05 @ 21:13
I have erection problems. FIX THIS.
By Drzymala on 03-02-05 @ 22:16
So does Michael Howard.
By Mr Flibble on 03-02-05 @ 23:30
Is that some sort of reference to him being Jewish?
By Ian Symes on 04-02-05 @ 00:40
No, it was me "accidentally" misreading erection as election to be funny. Haha.
By Mr Flibble on 04-02-05 @ 01:37
Don't try and get out of it, Flibble. We all know it was a reference to a famous literary character who had erection problems and was Jewish. Along with the deep-seated Jewish belief that erection problems are deeply offensive. You are a racist, sir, a racist.
By Ian Symes on 04-02-05 @ 07:39
Flibble should work for the Labour election campaign. Sure his posters would go down a treat and be welcome after he turned Blair's eyes red back in '97.
By Tonka on 06-02-05 @ 18:12
and Norman 'Every other year' Lovett
I spoke to Norman on Friday. He says he's looking forward to DJ.
Last year, Norman wasn't invited to Dimension Jump, thats why he wasn't there. The fan club can only afford so many of the cast.
By Paul Gannon on 08-02-05 @ 13:55
Oh so they actually get paid to go?
By Ranch on 08-02-05 @ 16:24
Yeah, it's their profession. They are there to entertain us. They do have a good laugh and a good time too obviously.
By Paul Gannon on 08-02-05 @ 16:40
I just noticed, John got the date wrong on this. The great feckin eejit.
By Seb on 09-02-05 @ 12:16
They don't enjoy it. They only do it to get paid, and they laugh at you when you're not there.
By Ranch on 09-02-05 @ 23:46
