The Cast of Red Dwarf: Where Are They Now?

[@greenisnotacreativecolour]

Where are they now? For the most part, still making Red Dwarf thankfully!

[@Jedi_Scowen]

That's what I came here to say too.

[@MrMegi76]

Legal stuff is all done so many more to come smeg head's 😊

[@jakec5186]

Red Dwarf is and always will be the greatest sci fi comedy. No matter how many times i watch it i always laugh.

[@modsmum]

Totally agree. Absolutely never tire of watching.

[@megabite3869]

yes, i saw it like 30 times :D

[@arlfiftyfourtd8132]

it's just as creative as its funny isn't it

[@martinhulin]

True now I finally know what happened to all of the smeg-heads

[@lordofalltime]

don't forget that Chris Barrie worked with Angelina Jolie in the Tomb Raider films

[@joppek77]

Indeed! I think he played the butler?

[@evanhanley6437]

Craig Charles played a big role in my childhood. This and Robot Wars I watched relentlessly. I couldn't get enough of them. This show was ahead of its time.

[@williamcrowe2576]

He also voiced the title character in "Asterix in America".

[@TheGodParticle]

Robot wars was incredible! Never missed a episode either. Cheers

[@BintyMcFrazzles]

Rob Llewellyn also presented Scraphead Challenge, and was superb. Craig Charles presented Robot Wars and was brilliant, and he was the narrator for a couple of series of Takeshi's Castle and he's also in Craig Charles Funk and Soul Band.

[@phoenixzappa7366]

And he got addicted to crack

[@tekwiztv]

@@phoenixzappa7366 And got sober, not sure what your point is?

[@gillianc592]

I love this show and i will forever love this show. Ive even named my pet rats Lister and Rimmer.

[@kryten1016]

Awwwww!!!

[@TigerTask3]

That’s some serious dedication…

[@GemR38]

Several years ago I was lucky enough to meet the cast at a convention and they were all the loveliest of guys. I always loved the show and it was wonderful to know that the people were just as awesome. Not a smeg head among them ;-9

[@dcocz3908]

Yes but one must be a hologram

[@magor137]

I named my cat after Cat

[@mickhealy572]

I owe that show a lot, kept me laughing through a hell of a time, what are they now? legends..

[@modsmum]

I met Cat at a signing in Rochdale and he was so kind and lovely. Brilliant memory.

[@darkmark138]

The greatest sci-fi from England is Red Dwarf and Doctor Who. But Red Dwarf is the greatest sci-fi comedy ever.

[@Alphoric]

You didn’t need to say from England

[@theutopiantrainer]

Doctor Who is done in Cymru, mate.

[@Alphoric]

@@theutopiantrainer not all of it’s done in wales and for most of doctor who’s history was filmed in England. Only since 2005 with the relaunch did they move to wales. Dr Who is from England

[@johnnoehl8917]

Favorite character is definitely rimmer. Loved watching his transformation from first to last. A close second has to be cat. Danny John also did a voice over in the labyrinth. But that was ages ago. But so glad he got his big chance. Love that guy.

[@marian3nene45]

Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast!!

[@TWILAlovesJESUS]

Stoke me a clipper I'll be back for Christmas

[@syncmonism]

Barrie was probably the best actor on the show, and his talent and range really carried a lot of episodes (and he's even played a few other characters as well on various shows). I'd pick Robert Llewellyn as my second favorite. Craig Charles does a great job as Lister, but his role is a lot easier, imo. Danny John Jules is also good for his role too, but it's obviously the shallowest and simplest role of the four main characters.

[@Cinking_city]

Rimmer has always been no. 1

[@joppek77]

Agreed! Not to diminish anyones performance (they had great chemistry) but Rimmer is such a brilliantly pathetic character and he plays him with amazing range.

[@randallpetroelje3913]

From across the pond are used to watch PBS and catch red dwarfs, and a lot of other Brit sitcom’s. Red dwarf is still one of my favorites.

[@rodneymeadows7658]

Need more Red Dwarf ; by the time I discovered it in Mid-West America, it had pretty much run it's original course. But I have every Series on DVD, & want my collection to keep on growing.....

[@harrymaxwell5420]

Craig Charles was also great when he hosted Robot Wars, was a pity he didn’t reprise it when the reboot came.

[@trojkjones7183]

" Do you agree with our picks? " ERM... they're the only ones you can really pick!! 🤦

[@tommcglone2867]

Craig Charles is a British institution. Fun fact. He was a heavy smoker until recently. And in the original run of Red Dwarf, as Lister, he was ACTUALLY SMOKING REAL CIGARETTES not fakes. Something that would never happen today

[@FakeSchrodingersCat]

It was still pretty common in the 1980s though, any movie or TV show from before 2000 where someone smokes it is practically guaranteed to be real cigarettes.

[@tommcglone2867]

@@FakeSchrodingersCat yeah. But its pretty badass anyway

[@jaysmith2858]

You would have thought that if eating a cigarette didn't stop him smoking, nothing would.

[@evasivepictures786]

How can you not mention the fact that Mac McDonald was in Batman 89, the fifth element, and alien 2…the research gone into this video is amazingly lack lustre🥴

[@brianbanville781]

In 2009, a fan on Twitter asked Robert Llewellyn where Chloe Annet was. Robert said she was happily living in London with her husband and three kids.

[@daphnelhunt]

I remember an episode of Lexx The Dark Zone Stories where Hattie and Craig played these nefarious but rather out-to-lunch aliens. They encountered the creepy carrots which eventually destroyed them.

[@UncleJackOnline]

i remember seeing Danny in Blade 2 and wondering if he was wearing his cat teeth

[@smeggeruk]

"Chris Barrie was absent for part of series 7 and missed 4"...Er...you sure? S4E1 - Camille - Rimmer (among others) meets a female version of himself S4E2 - DNA - Rimmer says one of his usual lines in this..."Aliens. They're probably going to return Glenn Miller!" S4E3 - Justice - As described on google, "The crew of the Red Dwarf find themselves on Justice World, an abandoned penal colony equipped with a `justice field' which inflicts the consequences of a crime on its perpetrator. The innocent have nothing to fear, but Rimmer is in big trouble." RIMMER is in big trouble, which is kinda impossible if he missed the series. S4E4 - White Hole - Rimmer takes a back seat in this one, but one of the funniest parts of the show with the repeating dialogue has him repeatedly saying "A *white* hole?" S4E5 - Dimension Jump - The quintessential Rimmer episode, where we get to meet Ace Rimmer from a different dimension (as well as the usual Rimmer) S4E6 - Meltdown - An episode that isn't very Rimmery, but where else in the whole show (with a waxwork version of Gandhi in this case) could you have Rimmer saying "Don't eyeball me, Gandhi!" In all, a poorly written clip missing tons of actors (Tony Hawks, for instance) and including a bunch (David Ross, C.P. Grogan) who only starred in very few episodes...You mention the voiceover artist for Talkie Toaster, but neglect the voiceover artist for the vending machines.

[@boswell255]

They even said Clare Grogan was in series 6. That was Chloe Annett, a whole different actress. Their research must have involved nothing more than looking at the top google results and hoping for the best.

[@smeggeruk]

Chloe was in from S7, and Clare *was* in one episode of S6 (Psirens) though TBH I don't personally remember her in anything but the earlier episodes (though from what I researched, she did have a small part that I should remember...it's been years since I watched 🙂). Clare was nothing more than a guest star at this point though, although TBH until S7 she'd always been a bit part player rather than a main part of the show...and, as is always the case with female characters, she was deemed "too old" to play Kochanski when they decided to bring the character back as a main character...Most true fans of the show think that Clare should have continued the character, though it probably still wouldn't have salvaged the car crash that was S7!

[@boswell255]

@@smeggeruk Oh wow, you're right, I always mix up the later series' and had forgotten about Psirens.

[@smeggeruk]

To be honest, I remembered her being in it once I saw that video but as I mentioned above I couldn't remember her in any eps but the early ones :-)

[@andygriffith5160]

I think they mean he missed four episodes of series 7, no?

[@tsnow6844]

You forgot danny john jules was in maid marian and mac mcdonald had a smal part in Aliens

[@francissobotka8725]

I kinda wish Capt Hollister would of mentioned Aliens .And my favorite characters are Lister and Rimmer (They are basically the yin and yang of the series .

[@Chrisey96.]

Hey don't be forgetting Scrapheap Challenge

[@ausbare140]

Bit disappointing no mention of the Brittas Empire when talking about Chris Barrie.

[@shirleymental4189]

Lots of comments saying: 'Craig Charles, Robot wars, Craig Charles, Robot wars. But what about Craig Charles doing Tageshi's Castle? (sp)? Hilarious improvising over the, frankly incomprehensible, Japanese show.

[@williamcrowe2576]

And the voice of Asterix in "Asterix in America".

[@merlin5476]

Clair Grogan is awesome. Always has been .

[@karenlbellmont6560]

I've luv'd this program from the beginning. Started watching it on PBS in America in late 80's to early 90's.

[@allwaizeright9705]

I never like Chloe's Kochanski - The Character not the Person. I like all version of Holly.

[@sarahwatkins4520]

I met Danny, Chris, Hattie, and Norman at a convention back in 2017. They were all really lovely 😊 I remember the conversation with Norman about the dog's milk 😂

[@nigelhickman2274]

Olaf Peterson (played by Mark Williams) should have been in this list, possibly along with Selby and Chen...

[@grantprice5097]

Chen played by Paul Bradley AKA Nigel Bates from EastEnders.

[@philw245]

Mark Williams played Ron Weasley's dad in Harry Potter.

[@supersandman86]

Don't forget Craigs time as the host of Robot Wars

[@RGbrainstorm]

Danny John-Jules also voiced the Firey Guys in the epic Jim Henson / David Bowie collaboration, Labyrinth. Chilly Down!!

[@siljrath]

whadya mean where are they now? red dwarf's an ongoing series. just had a special out earlier this year. isnt this the sort of question you ask of things that have not been seen for 20 years, rather than stuff that's still running? looking forward to season 14. :)

[@CbaDropDead]

Make more Red Dwarf content please 🥺

[@ashley-watchmojo2620]

Re-watching the show and absolutely loving it.

[@allanbard6048]

From that first broadcast, slotted after " Monty Pythons Flying Circus" on PBS, I was hooked. Never saw a sci-fi comedy, nor heard of one since Douglas Adams' work. "Let the costuming replicating begin!" That had me wearing cargo pants, a eelskin cap turned deerstalker, and a dozen green/gray/brown shirts. Today, I'm blessed to have completed my take on Lister, including dreads sewn in the cap, and London Jets and Mugs Murphy t shirts. My jacket is one of the melton jackets from the 1990's. Yes, Lister is my favorite, but it's an ensemble cast dynamic. Besides, Lister has: a Cat, a Mechanoid, and a familiar Smeghead for company-ish.

[@krisbayley9422]

I remember watching the first "Tomb Raider" movie I was in shock i did not realise that Chris Barrie was Hillary the butler.

[@tongobongo7061]

But no mention of Mr Flibble

[@CitrusParadox82]

Fun fact: I live down the road from the leisure centre where "The Brittas Empire" was filmed, in Ringwood Recreation Centre.

[@clarasanchez8144]

Holly did not have a sex change. The computers changed when they ran into their opposites. Someone didn't actually see the series.

[@curiousmind616]

Chris barrie needs his own series again, also red dwarf needs picking up by the bbc and new series made

[@jaysmith2858]

The BBC involved in o.g. Red Dwarf no longer exists. If they were to ever get their grubby, agenda driven mitts on 'Red Dwarf' once again they'd destroy the show, akin to the way they have destroyed Doctor Who.

[@qdllc]

Chris Barrie narrating a show on car crashes seems oddly appropriate.

[@Alphoric]

Crazy how it’s been 35 years since the first season

[@Sarcastix7]

Robert's KZbin channel Fully Charged is fantastic.

[@thomasdearment3214]

I love that show. I finally found it on Brit box after getting snippets of the show off and on thru the years I have restarted it a couple times it still makes me giggle.
