Arlene ‘Spoily-Face’ Phillips posted the picture. Six of one, half a dozen of t’other eh?

TV Times episode

TV Times episode descriptions were traditionally quite shit.

I think G&T have already RT’d it, haven’t you, guys?

To those interested, there’s a new pic of Danny in costume available to all via the futuristic wonder of Twitter, as posted by someone famous. It won’t take Sherlock Holmes to find it if you wish, but I shall refrain from posting the link ‘coz I don’t wanna be that guy.

Before! I’m interested in how many other comedy writers do the same, though…

But did you write that before this, is the question?

“The Red Dwarf writers almost always wrote their own ep descriptions.”

Fascinating.

A little blog post about the few RD clippings I do have. No early series stuff, but some nice dodgy photos. Feel free to take a peek.

Wonder what the guidelines

Wonder what the guidelines were back then, and also in comparison to what is in place today. Either way, the stuff would have been vetted/copy-edited before print, surely. Would be interesting to see how the later episodes were billed, too.

Yes, pretty sure it’s

Ian Symes — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:17:41 +0000

Yes, pretty sure it’s always been the case that episode capsules are provided for the press by either the channel or the production company, rather than the mags having to find stuff out for themselves.

Wow. I assumed they were already covering other channels by ‘88. But yeah, definitely satellite & cable by ‘92 at least.

>I would be willing to bet money that the capsule was written by Rob and Doug themselves. The joke reuse in Infinity points to that most - along with the fact that the Cliche/Son of Cliche capsules are STUFFED with jokes and nonsense.

That does make sense.

Agreed. Also, with there

Agreed. Also, with there only being four channels, it must have been considerably easier to focus on the finer points.

Blurb writers just knew their shit in those days.
