Oh Smeg, Red Dwarf will return again and again!
Posted 10 years agoGuess what!
Go on, have a guess.
No clue, just have a guess.
I knew you would not get it. The British TV-channel Dave (yes, it's named after Lister) have announced not only Red Dwarf XI, but also Red Dwarf XII.
That's right, in October this year they will start shooting two new seasons for a total of twelve episodes of the cult classic sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf.
Here is the press release:
Saturday 2 May, 2015 - UKTV's leading entertainment channel, Dave, today announced it has greenlit
two new series of Emmy Award winning comedy sci-fi classic, Red Dwarf.
Red Dwarf XI and Red Dwarf XII begin production in the autumn before airing on Dave in 2016 and 2017.
Co-produced by Grant Naylor Productions and Baby Cow Productions, Red Dwarf XI and XII are written and
directed by Doug Naylor. The series once more reunites Chris Barrie as Rimmer, Craig Charles as Lister,
Danny John-Jules as Cat and Robert Llewellyn as Kryten.
Red Dwarf XI and XII are commissioned by Richard Watsham, Director of Commissioning at UKTV,
ordered by Dave General Manager, Steve North and will be overseen and executive produced for UKTV by
Simon Lupton, Commissioning Editor at UKTV. The Executive Producer for the production company is Baby
Cow's Henry Normal, and the Series Producers are Richard Naylor and Kerry Waddell.
Doug Naylor said: "Steve North and everyone at UKTV have been so supportive of Red Dwarf from the
start of their involvement with the show. Steve originally asked for more shows back in 2012 but
frustratingly it's taken until now to get our ducks in a row and all the boys available at the same time.
Now they are, we're all absolutely delighted."
Simon Lupton, Commissioning Editor, UKTV, said: "Red Dwarf has superb talent attached; writing,
directing and acting plus an expert team who absolutely know what they are doing when it comes to
delivering a stand-out piece of television. It has a universal appeal that manages to touch long-standing
fans and recruit new ones. It is fantastic to be collaborating with them again on the next phase of the
Red Dwarf adventure."
Steve North, General Manager, Dave, said: "Red Dwarf is a really important show for us and I'm delighted
that we are bringing more new episodes to our viewers. Above all else it's a really funny show and one that
is held in great affection by millions of people, including the Dave team. We've built up a great relationship
over the years with Doug and the cast and it's a privilege to be working with them again."
To celebrate the announcement UKTV has added a bespoke collection of previous episodes, including the
complete Red Dwarf X series, to its on demand service UKTV Play, which is available via the iOS or Android
app, Virgin TV, YouView and at uktvplay.co.uk. Red Dwarf X will also be available as a box set on Sky Go
and Sky Set-top boxes.
In 2009 Dave made its first move into scripted comedy commissions with Red Dwarf: Back to Earth,
followed by a six-part series, Red Dwarf X in 2012.
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth was the biggest ever non-terrestrial commission with over 2.6 million viewers tuning
in to catch up with the four hapless space explorers as they returned to television for the first time since the
BBC series ended a decade earlier. Red Dwarf X topped over 2 million viewers and never dipped below 1.6
million across the series.
Red Dwarf has enjoyed phenomenal success since it first aired in 1988 on BBC2. It brought in more than eight
million viewers for series eight, sold over 11.5 million DVD and videos worldwide, broadcast in some 25
territories worldwide and won International Emmy and British Comedy Awards.
Robert Llewellyn (Kryten)have said the following in his blog:
As the entire population of the world obsesses over the birth of a baby in London, 3 million light years away in
a substantial space vessel belonging to the Jupiter Mining Corporation 4 hopeless smegheads prepare for more
adventures.
Red Dwarf Series XI and XII
Recording starts late October 2015.
12 new episodes.
Broadcast on Dave in the UK in 2016, elsewhere in the world a little later.
Shed loads of Smeg Ups
Original cast (they couldn't get anyone decent to do it)
Original writer (Doug-Chief of Comedy Police-Naylor)
About 18 kilos of rubber, 12 H's, a lot of hair extensions, sequins, Vindaloo and a new smeg hammer.

Satellite Reign - the spiritual successor to Syndicate Wars
Posted 12 years agohttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....atellite-reign
Do you remember that old BullFrog game called Syndicate? The isometric action/tactics game where you
controlled four cyberneticly enhanced agents in a futuristic world controlled by powerful corporations and syndicates?
If you do, I am sure you remember the joy of firing missiles at the train and watch a it's passengers ran around
burning, or how you used the persuadertron to build up an army of civilians and police officers and used them as
meat shields when attacking enemy agents.
The game got a an expansion (American Revolt) and later a sequel by the name Syndicate Wars that
was highly praised and released on PC and PlayStation 1.
Last year EA tried to do a reboot of the series and made it into a highly scripted FPS that no one liked.
But now, there is hope once more, as one of the lead designers of Syndicate Wars have started to work on a
game in the same style. The game is called Satellite Reign and is an isometric action/tactic game where you
control special agents in a world controlled by powerful corporations. The design looks beautiful, just look at this short
video with in-game gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUFPSMq7xEM
Satellite Reign is right now on KickStarter with one week to go and they have not yet reached their goal.
So if you have any interest in a game like this, or have found memories of the original Syndicate and
Syndicate Wars, please become a backer for the game so we can see it released next year. The URL is
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....atellite-reign
A quick note about the KickStater: As the developers, 5 Lives Studios, are an Australian company, they had to
use the UK version of KickStarter. You will still use your standard KickStarter account and all that, but when you make
the pledge to become a backer, you need to re-register your credit card as a different bank is used. This will NOT
affect you in any way as there are no hidden costs for exchange rates or something like that. Don't worry if you only
have dollars on your bank account, it will automatically withdraw the right amount of money and convert it to pounds if
the KickStarter is successful (money are NEVER taken from your account if the KickStarter campaign fails to reach it's goal)
So go on, visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects.....atellite-reign and become a backer for this cool looking game!

Play as a Furry character/animal hybrid in CoH/CoV

Want to beta test APB - All Points Bulletin?
Posted 15 years agoI have one beta-key for the game All Points Bulletin (APB) to give away. It is on the EU servers (but US players can still play, your ping will just be higher) and just so you know, the playtime is limited to a few hours per session.
I wish I could ask for a sketch or drawing for this, but too few artists are watching me, so I am forced to give it away for free. :(
Make a comment or send me a note and I'll give it to one random fur, or the one offering me the best sketch/icon/drawing. :) I'll pick the winner tomorrow morning.
