DwarfCasts (a Red Dwarf podcast)

[Insert Holly line relevant to a delayed thing eventually happening here] Yes, it's finally here! Danny, Ian and Cappsy once again put on their best dust jackets, turn on their pink study lamps and somehow defy the laws of gravity to bring you another DwarfCast Book Club! This time around we're putting the chapter Time Fork to bed (but not before marrying it first) as the crew unwittingly murder h...

Well, I suppose we better talk about what's been going on shouldn't we? As you no doubt know, the world of Red Dwarf has been a busy old place this February with both good and bad news, so we've gathered an emergency council to discuss the recent GNP turmoil, the Fan Club's inaugural (and triumphant) Holly Hop event and Rob Grant's new script, Into the Gloop .

There is a new DwarfCast update! Would you like to install now, in 10 minutes' time or now? Show notes Past Echoes : Ian's musings on Red Dwarf and technology. Since recording, Dave have started repeating Red Dwarf every Friday night. Which kind of proves our point. We tried to find out why Back To Earth isn't available on demand, and to be honest we're now even more confused . We've spoken to Mac...

In accordance with the Seventh Law of Schurfjhsdkjhsvmsdjksbvbmmmmm and of course staying within the restrictions laid out by the Turlslkdfcnekelhhffkghffgfkkfkkkkfkfkkfkfkkff Code, the DwarfCast Book Club returns as we decapitate Doug Naylor's Last Human and inspect it in gristly detail. So, join Cappsy, Danny and Ian as they delve into the omnizone shambles, show you their appendectomy scars and...

As we sit here and hope beyond hope that 2021 will bear as little resemblance to 2020 as humanly possible, here at G&T we're looking to replicate at least one element from the last 12 months: lots of regular DwarfCasts. Whether you think this is a good thing or not is entirely another matter, but never-the-less Ian, Danny and Cappsy have once again gathered to power through the commentaries for Da...

We did it, everyone. Almost an entire year of consistent podcasting and all it took was a global pandemic and stay at home orders to make it happen. I even bought a proper microphone. So, in a very nice accident of timing, we are rounding out the year with our final book club for  Better Than Life , Part 4: The End and After . Danny, Ian and Cappsy gather round the virtual yule log to discuss the...

It's time for our DwarfCast commentary for the final episode of Red Dwarf XI, Bag of Shite: Polymorph 3. So, before I open the particular can of worms of what we thought about this episode a little too much, please go and listen and find out for your selves what our general feelings towards this episode 4 years after its initial broadcast are. As ever the sentient soundwaves that make up Ian, Capp...

I know we said we'd be back soon but just count yourself lucky we only made you wait an extra week and not almost 40 years. As we get very close to finishing Better Than Life , join the pale, waxy figures of Cappsy, Danny and Ian as they enter The Book Club Time and are after feasting on Part Three: Garbage World . What are the long term narrative implications of Garbage World? Is Polymorph a show...

It's time for a new DwarfCast so grab the keys to your new sports car, leave your partner for someone younger, buy a new wardrobe of designer clothes, spend too much money on sunglasses, trade in your sports car for a motorbike, give an unsolicited shoulder massage to an acquaintance, tell everyone about your eclectic music taste, retweet Emma Kennedy, get a tribal tattoo, have your bits pierced,...

Sit down, get comfy, put on your favourite Paul Robeson track and blow the dust off your, er, dust covers because we're back with another Book Club! Join the emaciated husks of Danny, Ian and Cappsy as they tackle Better Than Life Part Two: She Rides and discuss the first ever instance of the show stealing from the books as well as the very meaning of relative time dilation in an amazingly compres...

After a bit of a rest we're back with another commentary, continuing to mercilessly cleave through the the Dave era. Next on our hit list is Officer Rimmer , and whether or not we can get over the fact that it ended way too abruptly and actually talk about the episode itself is something you will have to discover yourself by listening, but what I will tell you that our commentary is followed by an...

In what will surely test the very limits of the phrase "worth the wait" we're back with our DwarfCast Book Club (patent applied for)! After a short break, Ian, Danny and Cappsy are ready and willing to dive into Better Than Life ; starting, uncontroversially, with Part 1: Game Over as our time in the deadly TIV comes to an end.

It's been a little while but we're back to finish off  Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers with Part Three: Earth - a part that is as almost as short as its title. What isn't short, however, is the discussion as Ian Symes, Danny Stephenson and Jonathan Capps gather to mull over the myriad references to It's A Wonderful Life , the nature of reality, and the logistical challenges of spit roasting a gi...

*sigh* ... There wasn't a single person on board this ship that didn't have a special place in their heart for Seb Patrick. How best to remember this prince among men*? There's so any wonderful stories it's difficult to choose... but we had a good go at it anyway. Show notes We are raising funds in loving memory of our friend, Seb Patrick . The Fuchal Archives Key to the Kingdom on Board Game Geek...

Following on from our 11 year old revelation that DwarfCasting a review is so much easier than writing one, we present to your our thoughts on the documentary series The First Three Million Years . In attendance was the definitive Ian Symes, reused footage of Danny Stephenson from the DVD docs and a five second mention of Jonathan Capps tacked onto the end. Show notes Katy Brand discusses Infinity...

Once again Jonathan Capps, Danny Stephenson and Ian Symes gather within the digital realm to discuss the fuck out of Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers , specifically, Part Two: Alone in a Godless universe, and out of Shake'n'Vac . How many times can the book rob the TV show blind? What do Grant Naylor have against Brian Kidd, anyway? And was it Li...

With the BBC episodes well and truly commentaried, we now turn our insatiable appetite to the Dave era, starting with Twentica.

IT. IS. DONE. Almost 14 years after Jonathan Capps and treachery's Seb Patrick spoke over Thanks for the Memory from their little flat above an excellent curry house in London's fashionable London, G&T's three remaining survivors have ticked off the 52nd and final episode commentary of the BBC era. And we've saved a quite good one for last. So, join Ian Symes, Jonathan Capps and Danny Stephenson a...
