After a very tough night last week, the Boys from the Dwarf returned on Friday night for a rather more relaxed recording.
The episode has already received a lot of praise and has been compared to episodes like Meltdown (and not like Meltdown at all) stylistically.
Most interesting was that some scenes were not performed or played in but read live by the cast as they were not finished.
This means that the episode was probably heavily re-written beforehand.
Other sequences were shown on storyboard clips.
This weeks review comes from Becca Marriott. Read the rest of this entry »
Red Dwarf XII Episode 2 recording report – Not A Good Day …

The second episode of Red Dwarf XII was recorded on Friday. Of all episodes recorded so far this one seems to have been the most difficult one for the cast, the crew and the audience. Technical errors, exhaustion and the like all playing it’s part.
Danny John-Jules certainly felt it the next day:

Red Dwarf XII Episode 1 recording report – A big start!!

Series XI is barely in the can but already the production of season XII is in full swing. It started officially on January the 20th with several long cold night shoots on the coldest days of the year. Obviously not the healthiest thing to do and the lovely Chris Barrie must have fallen victim to the icy temperatures as he was quite unwell over the week and had to miss several pre-shoots.
Here to tell us all about this weeks live recordings are Tim Shaw, Doctor/Donna and Richard Gladstone – thank you all!! Read the rest of this entry »
Red Dwarf XI Episode 6 recording report – The “nightmare” before Christmas

The last Red Dwarf live recording before the Christmas break was always going to be special, but when the writer and director both announced that it was going to be big and ambitious we all knew it would be VERY special and it was.
A big guest set, a huge guest cast and script changes till the last minute and an abrupt ending with two scenes left undone. Read the rest of this entry »

The recording of Red Dwarf XI Episode 5 was probably one of the toughest recording nights in the series history. Fire alarms, a malfunction, missing lines and long set changes all conspired against cast and crew. Read the rest of this entry »

Quite a different kind of atmos this week: with two episodes where the entire cast was involved (even though the second story was Cat centred) this week Kryten took centre stage. The android was faced with a difficult dilemma. Read the rest of this entry »
