Nice 1, hope you have a good time!

I've *kinda* planned my trip for the 27th. I've got a stupidly early train on the Fri from Glasgow to Nodnol. Hopefully I'll have some time to play on the underground and visit some places before catching the train to Shepperton. After RD, it's a train back to Nodnol for my overnight stay before catching another early train home on the Saturday. But of a whirlwind trip really!!

From reading Cappys report its obvious to me now that for Saturdays recording we didnt go in the normal way, where we were was on the other side of Stage K but what we didnt see on the overhead monitor looked mighty impressive. And this was a one off set (as far as I could tell.

I think the way aforementioned Guest Star was introduced was nothing short of genius just a line or so from one character and then the reveal that brought about the laughter/applause (hope they keep in our first reaction as that was definitely the best especially with how they all held their expressions whilst riding the laughter/applause)

The Guest Star just seemed to fit the role so well.

One cool moment was when Danny showed us his juggling skills and did with five items all at once which got a big round of applause.

Then it was Bobbys turn to throw an item into the air and more or less got the same response as Danny.

On the subject of Bobby, at one point he said to Ray (warm up man) that he had Family in and they were two rows in front of me and a bit to the left so it was some kind of surreal when Kryten came over and did the "I'll Call you." motion with his pinky and index finger to his ear lol.

In one of the last scenes just before they went for a take Chris quickly got rid of a styrofoam cup he'd been drinking from (That would have been one for continuity but he sorted that out himself)

The last word of the night really came from Craig who sometime after we were treated to the end theme told us how he knew it was quite stop and start and how it would look different with all the effects shots etc did say:

"We are all very proud of the new series." So, that from Craig Charles I feels sums it all up in a nutshell.

would you say the 3rd episode had the feel of any of the earlier series? like 5 and 6? maybe 6 and 7 or earlier?

Am I the only one finding the description of blunders potential blooper spoilers? Or am I going too far now?

Depends on how detailed the description is I guess.

Personally speaking? I'd dare to actually say 4 - 6. Heck, even 3, but thats my personal opinion. I've said it before, and I'll say it again and will be saying it when this episode (whatever the title maybe) but if this episode is any indication of the rest of the series then it stomps all over BTE and kicks series 7 and 8 way out of orbit - but as I've said this is my opinion.

I'd of liked to have introduced myself, would have been fab, am sure there were other people I kind of recognised.

There was a guy on my left hand side in the Audience who had two Friends sitting next to him who had been to previous recordings of this series so I wasnt sure who they were either lol.

can only hope

plus still got the model shots to come, hopefully thats happening

After tonight there'll be much more positive feedback

From what Craig said on Saturday "We're all very proud of the new series" and said how theres effects shots they're going to put in. With the Writing, the Acting and the Sets all looking classic Dwarf I wouldnt be surprised if this is complimented by classic model shots as opposed to cgi but this is one thing we dont know.

thought id throw this picture into the mix from the official page

Looks like the same blue from BTE.

i can see the green padded outfit... curious

i dunno again im not that impressed and feel abit cheated here

Really? I really enjoyed that video. There's a sneaky sneak at some set an lots of information about the technical side of filming. Also, I think I'm beginning to fancy Ed Moore a little bit haha!

Dan Pendo wrote:

yeah I agree, that was a smashing piece of video. I do hope lots and lots of this stuff makes it to the DVD extras disc.

I'm amazed! How can you feel cheated on something that is free for one, and secondly has glimpses of set and production in the background! Just because when he says rig, and you think that's not an oil rig is it? It doesn't make it any less interesting if you don't understand.

suppose i was just expecting more but i shouldnt really given its still ages away till its on tv

that and i just dont think i had any interest in how the steady cam worked

but thats just my appinion

Yeah i'm not at all disapointed with this vid. I guess it's more interesting for those of us interested in the techey side of things, but that part of a set we very briefly saw a part of at the beginning looks very intriguing indeed, no? (also very teasingly shown in a photo in todays main page news too).

I didn't find the video too interesting, but I didn't feel cheated. I'm sure there are plenty of Red Dwarf fans who find the technical side of things more interesting than I do. Also, the video looks great in full screen.
