Delivered, as promised, my dear smegheads.
Enjoy this brilliant part of the talk âşď¸đŤĄ
I had to cut out some parts about domestic life, because of the limit, but if anyone would be interested, I'm more than happy to transcribe it in the morning!
TRANSCRIPT:
(for @what--the-helliot !!!)
Chris: âly time I think I could ever recall the director, Ed Bye, saying, âAction!â [pause] âCut!â Between those two words it went on a long time. But you know, Craig, it was like a train ride from Torquay to London â itâs never quite as long as you think itâs going to be.
Craig: I felt something nudging my leg while I was kissing you.
Chris: Thatâs what Iâm saying, youâve got it or you havenât, baby.
[Craig laughs]
Chris: Iâve never seen so many people in the studio. They came from everywhere â
Craig: This might be weird, but I quite enjoyed that scene. I did! Weâre actors, you know what I mean â Iâd never done anything like that before. You know, I really enjoyed the scene.
Chris: We both had about 30 polo mints each.
Craig: He had 30 polo mints, I had 20 marlboro!
Interviewer: I was wondering, because there was quite a hard cut when you guys get into it, but how much more�
Craig: Oh, the kiss was a lot longer than they show, wasnât it? We actually went at it hammer and tongs. We did! And they cut it really short, but it was a lot â it was a lot longer! And I felt a bit disappointed by that because it was quite a lengthy kiss.
Chris: They told us it was going to be used, and they didnât use all of it, you know? That was disappointing. [He pauses] We, you know â look, we gave them the material.
Interviewer: How was the experience? Was it disappointing as well, or was it better than you expected?
Chris: I wanted it to go on longer.
Craig: I wish I could have.
Chris: Peaking a bit early, werenât you?
Craig: As ever the comes of disappointment.
Interviewer: Is that what brought you back on the show?
Chris: I walked out of the studio and thought, âWhere am I ever going to get kissed like that again? Thereâs only one man who can do it! More kissing scenes for Monsieur Rimmer.â [sarcastically] âYeah, Iâll work on it for you, Chris.â
Craig: Thereâs probably a parallel universe where Rimmer and Lister are married.
Chris: Well, it is 2024.
Craig: Thereâs a universe where me and you are marred like⌠two old guys sat on a spaceship. And Iâm not putting the dishes away, or Iâm stacking the dishwasher wrong.
Chris: Dishwashers are overrated.
Interviewer: I was just wondering what role Kryten plays in your marriage?
Craig: Well, Krytenâs like my mum, isnât he?
Interviewer: So would he be like a mother-in-law to Rimmer in this parallel universe?
Craig: Yeah, he would be like Rimmerâs mother-in-law⌠Well, letâs face it, Kryten doesnât like Rimmer anyway.
Chris: I donât like Kryten â well, Rimmer doesnât like Kryten!
Craig: You think heâs jumped up, donât you?
[video ends]
RIMSTER!!!!! They are so married, 100% without a single shadow of a doubt, husbands.
Does anyone actually have any idea where Rimmerâs lightbee would be inside him? Just thinking as in Queeg he gets his legs disconnected from his body. My theory is that the ship has its own projection system in the halls up until III and then the crew possibly found a lightbee and adopted it around IV.

âif you love this character then you must make him happy in your fics, right?â wrong. the horror. suffering. internal hemorrhage. hospital. immediately
Ownership meant a physical copy. Now you own nothing and can't find what you want across multiple streaming platforms.
Bring back headphones that plug in. Bring back expandable memory. Bring back owning media.
some people act like its so embarassing to be into fandom as a woman in your 40s and 50s but suddenly embrace it when a 60 year old lady is really into spirk or whatever... its weird. realistically all the people who wrote those pillars-of-the-community masterworks in the 2000s are floating around someone in that age bracket now...... same goes for all of those who kept this or that show on air in the 90s, running forums like the navy... not to mention all the women who discovered this stuff late and are experiencing a new lease of life. how can u not find that kind of beautiful? i support u, middle-aged women of tumblr and ao3....

"Red Dwarf: Titan" Further Details
Red Dwarf co-creator Rob Grant died earlier this year.
Before his death earlier this year, Red Dwarf co-creator Rob Grant completed his final project: the spin-off novel Red Dwarf: Titan.
Now, Grant's co-author Andrew Marshall has opened up about his hopes for the beloved band of comedy characters as they return in the alternate reality novel â including a more fleshed out Dave Lister (who was played by Craig Charles in the TV series), and more developed female characters.
"Rob wanted Lister to show a little bit more maturity by the end than we usually see, which I think makes an interesting part," Marshall explained to Radio Times. "I was very interested in showing there's a tiny speck of something in Rimmer that he might just be saveable."
He added that Grant "was very keen â as was I â to develop the female characters a little bit more".
"So Kochanski has a much, much bigger role in this, and there's also a couple of other new female characters for you to have a look at," he continued.
"So that's that was quite interesting, and certainly creating a sort of nemesis/weird romance character for Rimmer was also an interesting challenge, and you'll see how we got around that."
Asked whether the show needed updating for a modern audience, Marshall added: "Yeah, it did need updating a little bit. That's the way we looked at it, anyway. It's just bringing it more into line with how things are these days, but it was very interesting.
"The other great thing about a book is it can have an infinite visual effects budget, because you're creating it all in your head. It can be something that would cost an absolute fortune to make. Maybe one day we will make it, but we'll see."
Reblog if youâre part of a hostile nation thatâs declared war on Australia
Oh my god though guys you donât know the best thing! Â The best thing is: heâs right.
The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands is a micronation near Australia. Â This is their flag:
The Gay Kingdom (as it is colloquially known) was founded in 2004 in protest against Australiaâs legal stance against same-sex marriage.
Here are some of their stamps:
They are currently ruled by Emperor Dale I, and their currency is the Pink Dollar.
And, indeed - they declared war on Australia for not recognizing same-sex marriages performed outside the country. Â (Second link.)
Youâre telling me there has been a Gay Island this ENTIRE TIME and Iâm only just finding out about it????
WHAT
okay, but not enough people know the details on this. people at pride were upset about gay rights in australia. so they decided to sail 200 miles into the coral sea just âcause and put a rainbow flag on a fucking empty island out of spite. and iâm talking empty. no inhabitants. zero. it was a flat piece of land with a bit of dry grass. now it has a camp site and a post office.Â
they have a declaration of independence that talks a bit about gay rights and then just flat out copies the âlife liberty and the pursuit of happinessâ part from the american declaration of independence. and hereâs the best part: the founding group actually elected their emperor. he was originally going to be called the âadministratorâ of a republic. their website, however, says that âupon legal advice, his title was changed to that of Sovereign on the grounds that under Australian law a defacto prince trying to claim his crown cannot be charged with treasonâ. so they made it a kingdom and he now claims to be a descendent of edward ii.
everything about this is glorious and everyone should know about it.

Not one of you mentioned that the anthem for this nation is I Am What I Am by Gloria Gaynor. Not. One. Of. You.
This is the greatest thing Iâve ever read
Highlights from the timeline via wikipedia as this thread is from 2017:
As previously mentioned, the idea originated at Pride (Brisbane 2003) in reaction to punitive anti-marriage legislation
âOn the 14th day of June 2004, at this highest point in the Coral Sea, Emperor Dale Parker Anderson raised the gay rainbow flag and claimed the islands of the Coral Sea in his name as homeland for the gay and lesbian peoples of the world. God Save our King!â
The campsite/capital Heaven was named after the London nightclub
War was declared on Australia in September 2004
The aforementioned stamps were issued in July 2006 âwith the aim of creating a high and distinctive reputation amongst the philatelic fraternityâ
They were never recognized legally/internationally as a micronation (and in fact Anderson refused to attend a conference in 2010 because they werenât actually trying to be a sovereign nation)
In Feb 2017, Abetz was objecting to the flag of a âhostile nationâ being flown
The Gay and Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands was dissolved in November 2017 (when same-sex marriage was legalized)
You don't need to actively ship it or think it would work. Just which intrigues you the most.
