Web Dwarf II
Some more of the best Dwarfy finds on social media!
21 June, 2019
Once again, we've been out and about across Twitter, Facebook and the wider web to find some of the most interesting, creative and amusing Red Dwarf-related bits that you've had to offer over the last month or so. Here are some of the best things we've seen - and if you have something Dwarf-relevant that you want to show us, get in touch via @RedDwarfHQ or over on our Facebook page...
First off, and we couldn't let this curious tweeted video from Danny John-Jules go unnoticed...

What are the gang doing having a stroll in the rain? We could tell you, but they'd have to tell us first... guess you'll just have to keep watching social to find out more!
It's not the only time some of the Boys from the Dwarf have got together lately, either. At Robert Llewellyn's recent and hugely successful Fully Charged Live event, there was a guest DJ set from Craig Charles. And Danny couldn't help himself from popping along, too:
?What is it?? ?

We had @DannyJohnJules on our stand at #FullyChargedLIVE and he purchased a few of our palm oil free, plastic free soaps. He seemed less impressed with seeing #reddwarf costar @bobbyllew given top billing though... pic.twitter.com/h6XRnKZWLb

Have you retuned your Freeview recently? If not, you may not be aware that Dave has moved channel numbers - but helpfully, there's a special advert to remind you, featuring a newly-filmed guest appearance from a certain bulbous green spaceship...
WE HAVE MOVED. To Freeview channel 19. So, if you can?t find us, you may need to retune. If you can find us, well, you look nice today. Go you. pic.twitter.com/SHfreMn9Pt

Watch out, too, for that man Danny John-Jules (again!) in an upcoming promo for fellow UKTV channel Drama:
Got fed up fishing in the rain with "people that I have met" and moved to the country to get in shape for #IveGottaBeMe curtesy @dramachannel Summer Promo Shoot Next time you see us in the West End #RedDwarf will be sitting in the audience ? #ThatsShowbizhttps://t.co/CPmas01zzQpic.twitter.com/RirhtHJr92

We're a little bit concerned, meanwhile, about the wellbeing of Doug Naylor given his encounter with a certain less-than-friendly species of droids at the Fairford Literary Festival:
Great welcome for @DougRDNaylor at @FairfordFest. Come along at 5.30pm and hear him interviewed. #Reddwarfpic.twitter.com/dl2V7WcgHg

It's always nice to take a trip back in time, and here's a fantastic photo of a Series VI-era Kryten being bothered by a bobby on the streets of London, which Andrew Ellard later identified as being from promotion for the Smeg Outs video in 1995:
#RedDwarf's Kryten interviewed by a policeman! Any idea what this was for @bobbyllew@RedDwarfHQ? pic.twitter.com/z9NOps4x9r

Time for some fan art, and a blurry vision of the crew by @apogeesus:
Unreasonably proud of making this! What if you cross one of the best 90s comedies with one of the best 90s albums? @CraigCharlesTV@RedDwarfHQpic.twitter.com/jtJe3FKm6R

Two great takes from the same artist, @AlejandroKayArt, on Kryten:

(We'd love to see Rimmer and Lister next, Alejandro!)
We always like to see good cosplay, and here's a cracking version of Lister's jacket by @LimboPeak:
And my re-creation of Dave Lister's 2nd season jacket. I'm pretty proud of it, and love wearing it. #cosplay#RedDwarf#RedDwarfCosplay#RedDwarfFanspic.twitter.com/eFiC0M91U8

From @ganymedetitan, a thorough examination of how Holly was turned from a voiceover into an on-screen presence in Series I:
ARTICLE. The first two episodes of Red Dwarf were originally recorded with Holly as just a voice. @mumoss takes a look at the reshoots required to put Norman Lovett on-screen. https://t.co/KmNXfArjlC

Getting a Tension Sheet as a wedding present is one thing. But getting the Esperanto version, well, that's next level stuff:
This is what we got as a wedding gift, will be useful. #tensionsheet#reddwarfpic.twitter.com/BIVMim7xBr

We all remember Carbug, but who knew that painting a Smart Car red would give such an apt naming opportunity...?
Ladies & gentleman I give you the most perfectly named smart car ever ? Absolutely love it! #reddwarfpic.twitter.com/OxFdHPIs1P

The thought of this makes us feel a little bit ill, but we might have to place an order to get a few sticks of Vindaloo Rock onto the Red Dwarf set:

And finally, as @David_Flett has discovered, yes, this really is an actual place:
@RedDwarfHQ@TORDFC I wondered if I should go on a day trip to see it but then I thought...it's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere? pic.twitter.com/K0BG2KOwLv

It's in Anglesey, if you didn't know. And all of a sudden we're wondering why there's never been a convention held there...
Don't forget that over on @RedDwarfHQ and Facebook, we're sharing regular Red Dwarf-related articles, trivia, quotes and anything else fun we can think of - and if you've made or found something cool that you'd like to see in a future roundup, tag us in!
