Red Dwarf Quarantine: HOWARD GOODALL Special!

[@kimifur]

35:12 I was there! Howard was kind enough to, after I had written a letter to him via the fan club, invite me and my dad to the Angel Islington studios to attend the recording of this music! I was able to get a day off school (Wednesday 16th October 1996) and we sat in the sound booth and watched the whole thing. The highlight was absolutely the "Stoke Me A Clipper" beginning, though. We all piled into the sound booth afterwards to watch the rough edit. Ed Bye was there, as was Doug Naylor. Ed and my dad really got on well, I remember! Howard was absolutely lovely, even staying behind a bit afterwards to play the theme tune on the piano there, and gave me his baton and a piece of the sheet music from Stoke Me A Clipper. When he was leaving he said he was going home to compose something for Richard Curtis' daughter's wedding! Amazing. I had just turned 14 years old and it still ranks as the best day of my life.

When I was younger, I always thought Hatty (female Holly) sang the end theme tune. Just as I used to think Nicholas Lyndhurst (Rodney) sang the Only fools and horses opening tune.

We need more Howard Goodall. Loved his 20th Century Greats series.

Hello gang! You all should continue your KZbin shenanigans after quarantine. It's a joy to see you all.

[@ianwebster3489]

52:43 "That's us until september, may as well queue the song." Howard just starts playing it, what a fucking legend. A musical luminayr. Thank you sir

The more I listen to people who know things, the more I realise I'm living on the tip of the ice-berg.

LOVE Howard Goodall. His How Music Works series teaches me something new every time I watch it. [Edit] - Yeah, I couldn't finish this last night because I started dicking about with the Vocoder in Ableton Live. Just finished it. Howard is a low-key national treasure and I'd really like to see more of him in media. Please Howard, do a one-man show, do another TV special, create a KZbin channel and put out 10 minute video essays - anything.

Peter Frampton “show me the way” is the song you are talking about, I think.

I'm a musician too so really appreciate this special episode, thank you😄 the Baroque arrangement of the theme in the Kryten episode season 1..... magnificent btw (all the music in Red Dwarf is good but one has to admire that one😄) maybe i'll add some of my flute on it for a laugh😄😄

Love the Hendrix story, amazing!

"He did have a organ" - Sounds like the perfect punch line to the ultimative joke

[@martinlawton7384]

love this ! so interesting

[@DasHumanCentipede]

He looks bizarrely like Frankie Boyle in that hat.

[@BRDrivingSim]

Guessing we won't see Doug Naylor on this show. His input is missed.

[@unitedinvasion2374]

No Dougs allowed.
