Get Your Props
Reddwarf.co.uk in embarrassing use of street slang shocker.
13 July, 2007
The Propstore of London have been both a pain and a joy for many Red Dwarf collectors. A joy because, of course, their website has made available oodles of original props and costumes from the show. And pain because, let's face it, once you start with this stuff your bank balance does tend to suffer.
Still, their latest additions continue to make us go a little funny. There are bits and pieces from throughout the Dwarf series - including some stuff that, surprisingly, has yet to be snapped up - genuine gingham dresses and 'High' crew robes.
Among the newer items are the four stop-motion figures used in Back in the Red - Part 3. Each has been framed, and frankly we think they're adorable.
Or how about Don Warrington's Holoship Costume? Or the whiskey used during Cassandra's attempted seduction of Kochanski? Or Lister's shaving mirror? Or even the very baseball glove turned-into by the original polymorph?
Still our favourite two items are the space suit used in both Blue and Tikka to Ride, and - oh yes, oh yes - an actual, genuine bazookoid. Display mounted and utterly gorgeous, at £2,495 it's not for the faint of heart... but there are plenty of lower-cost items available.
