I can’t decide. I really can’t…
First – that the fantastic news that a friend of mine, Michael McRae, who was at TAM6 and is the Science By Email CSIRO writer… is now going to hit radio big time!
He got footage whilst at the Amazing Meeting 6 (as you might remember, the last one that featured Dr Richard Wiseman, Dr Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Dr Phil Plait, The Bad Astronomer, Mythbuster Adam Savage and James Randi) – for the Radio National ABC radio show “All In The Mind“… a NATIONAL show that will bring the Amazing Meeting and skepticism to people all over the country!
Skeptics on Skeptical Thinking – 29th September, Sat 1pm (repeat Mon 1pm)
Nobody likes being told their most cherished beliefs are based on myth and misconception. But the global skeptics movement does just that. In the classroom and beyond – All in the Mind excavates the nature of the skeptical enquiry with magician The Amazing Randi, Mythbuster’s Adam Savage and other enquiring minds.
OR… Red Dwarf Specials Confirmed!
…www.reddwarf.co.uk has the facts. As announced by Robert Llewellyn for Grant Naylor Productions this week at the UKTV seasonal press launch, the project is a short series of brand new specials to celebrate the 21st birthday of Red Dwarf:
Show One - The Making Of The Specials -A highly entertaining look at what goes on behind the scenes on a Red Dwarf production.
Show Two – Red Dwarf Special: Part One – The cast get back into character, and costume, a decade on…
Show Three – Red Dwarf Special: Part Two -The adventure continues…
Show Four – A Clip Show With a Serious Difference – The cast do it their way. Red Dwarf as you have never, ever seen it before!
The shows will broadcast sometime in 2009 and, if successful, could pave the way for further Red Dwarf. This exciting development suggests a new and shiny future for everyone’s favourite sci-fi comedy.
Okay. You’re just going to have to tell everyone you know about both. Oh, how about Digging and Twittering this post by using my ‘Make Me Purr’ buttons? That’s what they’re there for! Spread the word!

I’ll reserve my judgement on the new Red Dwarf series until I see it – they’ve lost their way before and there’s no knowing if they’ve found it again. Best Red Dwarf episode ever: Terrorform.
Unfortunately for the Red Dwarf special, it looks like only Naylor of the original Grant and Naylor team are involved. Grant left for the last two seasons, and coincidentally those are almost universally recognized as the worst of the series.
Ah shit, looks like you’re right… hmm. Well that’s okay – because it means McRae for the win!
