I was convinced until now you were American or at the very least, Canadian. I get a lot of strange looks in the office for having a Red Dwarf wallpaper on my computer.
I heard the new series is gonna be filmed in front of an audience. I know you're probably not allowed to tell anybody too much but I'm wondering if this is true. Also I am aware it is going to be called series X, and on the back of the BTE box it says it takes place after series 10, so is series X going to be a full six episode prequel to Back to Earth? Sorry about sking a dumb question but I just love Kryten and Red Dwarf and I am so excited!
That was funny when you made that suction cup noise when talking about how they took off your mask.
I can't wait for the newest series! I know that a USA version of Red Dwarf was piloted and was unsuccesfull, but why didn't they just show the orgininal show? A lot of programs made in different countries are shown elsewere, why not this? A lot of people in the US don't know about Red Dwarf (I only know because my friend in Australia showed me). They are missing out on a great show!
just want to say thanks as mum and dad used to let me watch rd when i was little as a treat so has become inked in my mind to home:) then being away from home at uni (now finished my second yr) when ever i get home sick i put on the dvds and feel beter:) has got me through a lot:D
hey 1 question. the red dwarf USA was (obviously cancelled) filmed with you as kryten. and my actual question is: was it filmed in UK or were you in USA? by the way. im a bog smeghead from the USA : )
@darkmyth2 Red Dwarf USA was recorded in 1992 at Universal Studios in Hollywood. Yeah, that long ago. However there is more Red Dwarf coming soon, we start recording a new series this year.
@bobbyllew MORE red Dwarf? Now this is more in addition to that recent movie that happened? The Blade-runneresque one? Just making sure this wasn't an old message and that it wasn't a rumor or BBC hasn't pulled the plug again or something. :)
Thanks for talking to us scumbags of the internet btw! You have class!
I just found Red Dwarf at the age of 28, and darn it if I'm not lovin' it. Haha. I'm enjoying it via Netflix and I'm tearing through the seasons like crazy. I'll be bummed when I reach the end.
I cant believe Red Dwarf is as old as I am but I still luv it. I hate to offend but WHAT THE HELL was up with 9!!!!! talk about a load of crap, wasnt in the spirit or making of 1-8. Watched and can quote parts of 1-8 but wont watch 9 every again
If I had a friend who ever had that plaster thing on, I'd wait till it completely covered their head apart from the straw in the nostril, then I'd fart into the straw.
Great vid! I have to say I'm a big fan of your work, and you've always come across as being one of the real genuine nice guys of the whole entertainment industry, as in one of the people I'd like to meet. That description of the head mold nearly gave me an asthma attack just thinking about it! hehe. Your new series Car Pool is excellent by the way. Top idea, and a really original concept! Any ideas if there's any plans in the pipeline for another series of scrapheap challenge?
It's interesting to hear about making the mask from your point of view. I've cast heads before and it's a nightmare, especially when I'm head nose clearer.
Red Dwarf is just an excellent series :)! I'm a 21 year old girl from Norway who just got introduced to the series by my english boyfriend. After watching a few episodes I was hooked :D! You guys did an excellent job! I wish there was more than 8 seasons (and "Back to earth), I could've kept watching in for many more seasons :D.
Here's an idea, why not have a re-usable mask for Series 10? I know it's not quite that simple but it's just an idea. Hope I get to see you Come back next year! Kryten is my fav character! Spin my nipple nuts and send me to Alaska!
Red Dwarf was the first TV program I was ever allowed to watch, and having come across a repeat on Dave, I found that I knew nearly every word that was being said, having not been aware of ever seeing the episode. Apparantly, aged 3 I was a bigger fan than my dad was. Weird then, that just 11 years since my childish, innocent humour was so delighted by Red Dwarf, I have such an epic crush on just about the whole cast.
Please make another Red Dwarf series. It is the greatest show in history and I have watched each episode more than 50 times each - I can pretty much memorise a whole series, if i put my mind to it.
You are the greatest character, by far the funniest, and I hope you live a long and happy life.
hi rob , just come across this post and would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the tons and tons of laughs you gave myself and many others as kryten , thanks for the laughter mate
What did you base your voice on for Kryten? Obviously it isn't your own voice/accent, is there anything that made you think 'this is what a mechanoid should sound like'?
Red Dwarf was a staple part of my childhood. We are now expecting our first child and I plan on making sure Red Dwarf is a staple part of theirs as well :)
thanks for taking out your time to share all this facinating info on yourself and Red Dwarf... i'm always hoping a new series will be made, me and the thousands of others, so i'll be sure to subscribe for updates :D
Red Dwarf and Only Fools and Horses.... best sitcom's EVER in my humble opinion! :)
king bobby liew can you up upload a video wishing my friend dave smeeeeeeeeeeeg heeeeeeeeeeeeead sollory,a happy birthday?he does martial arts feel free to take the pee,if you could i would be forever in your debt,from scifi simon,also thank you for making me scream with laughter year after year,you were the best in red dwarf......tikka to ride ride neally killed me!!
Hearing about this is nice. brings a whole new perspective on the show. Also, it was interesting to see about the "manufacturing" of the mask. It could give robotics engineers ideas on how to avoid the uncanny valley.
Thank you so much for your behind the scenes info! I'm 21, Australian and am absolutely crazy about red dwarf. I was wondering if you could give me a few pointers about breaking into the acting industry as I've got cold feet.
Greetings, Mr. Llewellyn! Just a quick 'thank you' from my wife and I, here in the USA...KRYTEN is the BEST, we ADORE him/you! Every series of RD was fantastic, and we hope after B2E you are able to do many more...WE AR ADDICTED!...Oh, and if you ever need any artwork or animation for LewTube, etc drop me a line...would be honored to do whatever you need for free!
My dad loves this show! He used to watch this when he was studying in University. We both enjoy watching this show and we have become great fans of it! Congratualtions on the Back to Earth series! we all loved it. Hope theres more Red Dwarf to come!
where can i get a little kryten toy like the one at the start of the video?
i've always wanted some red dwarf figures,and the only merchandise i can find is little bobbleheads and model red dwarfs and starbugs. do you know were i can get a little kryten toy at the start or even the whole crew?
Hey bobby, just wanted to say it's bout dam time you guys made some new episodes, im 21 and have watched Red Dwarf for as long as i can remember, also being in Australia its not quite as big here as it is over there, but i hope i can make up for the lack of support lol. It would be awsome if all the gang would come on down here, i would b there for sure :) Anyway cant wait to see "Back to Earth" hopefully we get it soon. Take care mate
Me and my family are huge fans of red dwarf. I've grown up watching it! I love all the series except 7 and 8.
All the other series were each like clever little short films and this worked really really well. Each story was unique and so damn funny
What happened with 7 and 8 Why use CGI? when the models looked so good and funny. Why use checanski? (cant spell her name), get rid of rimmer? what happened to the story?
Interesting vid - I was almost wanting you to put on one of the masks. Lol.
I was born around the time you guys first started making Red Dwarf and so basically grew up watching the episodes. Very excited about watching Back To Earth. :D
Was going to upload a vid of me playing the theme tune on my uke, but it sounded shit. Maybe in the future though, eh? (Unless you have a special request? :S)
Llewellyn is a Welsh name, just about as Welsh as you can get, however my parents were both born in England, so was I, so my Welsh roots are pretty far back. Most of my Grandparents were proper Welsh except one Grandmother who was a real 'cockney,' a Londoner. As for my accent, it's classified as 'RP' in this country, received pronunciation, I was taught to 'speak properly' by my mother, that means no regional accent. Maybe I should do a Wet Liberal about this subject
Hi Bobby Lleww i'm eleven and i really like red dwarf,you are the best. kryten is my favourite character,because he's just so funny. it's really interesting to see how it was all made. i really couldn't stop laughing at 6:06. i can't wait for back to earth,but sadly i won't be at home to watch it on the 10th of april,do you know if it will be repeated on dave?
Very nice to hear from you. I'm sure Dave will repeat the new episodes of Red Dwarf a lot. I know they are showing them all again on Monday 13th. They also come out on DVD later this year. Hope you enjoy them
You resemble Lance Hendriksen ( Notable for his role as " Bishop " in " Aliens " & " Alien 3 " I believe, as well as " Terminator " and " Frank Black " in the tv series " Millenium " ) Do you see a resemblance ? Also, The Kryten accent - Canadian ?
Not sure if you read every comment your videos get, especially when the video I'm commenting on is almost a year old, but I just wanted to say thanks a lot for the insight into Kryten. :D I was only born in 1991, but even when I was a kid and didn't really understand it, I always loved RD. When I first started watching, I really believed that Kryten was a robot. ^^ I've never been able to nail a Kryten impression, but if I ever see you around, I'll do my best. ;)
The Red Dwarf series was always a 'good' tv show but when Kryten became a regular in it's 3rd year,the show was superb. Kryten became the character that had the best one liners but never stole the other actors thunder. Thank you Rob, for your part in making one of the best sit coms of all time.
What a nice surprise! I know you, sir, from Discovery Channel. I've just discovered Red Dwarf and I must say it instantly became my favorite TV show. So, thank you for Kryten, smeg head :)
Hello, I am from the Czech Republic and I love this serial
I want to thank all the power of actors, producers and all that helped create and produce a red dwarf..Also be much looking forward to a new 4 pieces of red dwarf, and I hope that even more episodes.I can´t say how much you for this Thank serial, but such lot a messages .
I am looking for a way to thank you, at least here, but such reports are certainly many.I very thanks.Your serial and you are great ;-).
I don't know why but my favourite Kryten line is in series 7 Tikka to ride, When lister puts spare head 2 on Krytens body and then Kryten says says "My heavens, I'm head head"
your smoking! "oh is my generator over heating again?" LOL..y'know im surprised t he BBC hast made a Kryten Mask for sale yet especially with all the RD Mrch they put ot that would be bitchin!
I have JUST now re-discovered Red Dwarf! In California, I saw it ONCE when I was 12 on KQED loved it and never saw it again for some reason. But here we are, 20 years later, and it's amazing! I love it! You were part of television history! Go Kryten! "It's a banana!" :D
I think that David Ross' version of Kryten is far far far more inferior than your version Roberrt. The character would not have been the same with him playing it and i feel that you made Red Dwarf transforn from a great series into possible the Greatest Sitcom of all time!
I've subscribed to you for over a year because of your conscious efforts with the environment, I only realized today you were in Red Dwarf based on your Seattle SF Atlanta vid! I watched it on KCTS 9 growing up. I still live in Seattle, and I plan on seeing you and other YouTubers on Monday, excited!
He was alright for the one episode but I dont believe he would have been as fun as you made kryten to be.
On the subject of RD, I also love the theory of landstrom's luck virus, and imagining some people at sometime in their life contract the virus, does it happen in real life maybe?...lol
Hi bobby..i just want to say...you dont look like u have aged much since red dwarf..i'm watching it now..if you went back into kryten outfit you wouldnt look any different, i luv ya..ur the best!...xxxx
Having a mask fitting sounds worse that the 7th circle of Hell butt. kryten has the best lines in all of red dwarf, lister has the most disgusting scenes, you know getting off with space monsters and the living dead :0===> Nothing comes to mind about the other two part from Ace Rimmer lol Red Dwarf for ever *****sters
20 years on and Red Dwarf is still on BBC, watch it every day on Prime. Ah, that great series who taught millions the joys of drinking beer milkshake :)
OMG! Robert, I'm such a big fan of Red Dwarf, and i'm only 12. It was a brill programme. But i dont know,why they cancelled it. Please can, you tell me.
I really don't know which is stranger; watching Red Dwarf bloopers with Your Voice coming out of Kryten's face, or Kryten's Voice coming out of yours...
Ah yes... the voice... the voice of Kryten... always loved that voice. Kryten could recite the phone book, I'd would be glued to my headset! :) Red Dwarf has always been a guilty pleasure of mine, so thank you Robert for the trip back into time.
Great stuff Robert, thank you for doing it! I bought a couple of props from the show and met Danny at a con in Melbourne in 1997; very fond memories of that :)
That was quite interesting...it's the first time I've heard someone go in more depth in to what it's like to have their face cast. Normally it's "Oh, it took for ever" and such like.
Hope everything goes well.
Shame no DJ to mark the 20th like you have, but no doubt next year's DJ will be awesome.
When the BBC are desperate for real rarings again they will ressurect Red Dwarf whop knows perhaps for a movie... like Dr Who. Perhaps Red Dawrf meets Dr Who special, just not a twee 5 minute job for Comic Relief... as those teasers are just annoying in their shortness.
Thanks Rob, this was amazing. I was hoping on your opinion of the Red Dwarf Movie, but your anecdotes and general Kyrten-ness was a joy to watch. :) Thank you, you've made my day!
Kryten could easily make his own show without the rest of the cast. Great actor and very funny. Such mixed humour put into one character, it's perfect.
hi robert,great vlog,its great to hear all about red dwarf,i have en idea,why not try and get some of the cast of red dwarf a long with your self and do avlog in 3 parts and you all talk about red dwarf and the memorys you had of the show,i bet youtubers would love it,i know i would,i could listen to you all day taking about red dwarf.best wishes from justin.
Nice insight. you didn't complain like those Prima Donna's in Star Wars baking in the Tunisian sun!
How many times did you get platered over?
I used to make masks for theatre & had my face covered in Plaster of Paris for the mould, it's really soothing apart from when they rip it off & pull your eye lashes out!
I had a mate who would quote RD to no end, which kind of spoiled it for me, but not enough to not watch it when it was on.
I know you probably get inundated by everyone about projects you have done (I'm more interested in s/heap so how about a Q and A, and you choose the best questions out of comments to answer?
Yep I was born in 1992, and my dad introduced Red Dwarf to me when I was six. Didn't get any Cassettes or DVDs of it for atleast another 4 years because we were strapped for cash, but when we got the chance, we SPENT. The best British programme no question
I'm such a Kryten enthusiast I can't remeber the last time I didn't have a dream where I stole your masks and tried to wear them, I need a hobby.

Llewellyn is a Welsh name, just about as Welsh as you can get, however my parents were both born in England, so was I, so my Welsh roots are pretty far back. Most of my Grandparents were proper Welsh except one Grandmother who was a real 'cockney,' a Londoner. As for my accent, it's classified as 'RP' in this country, received pronunciation, I was taught to 'speak properly' by my mother, that means no regional accent. Maybe I should do a Wet Liberal about this subject

Hi Bobby Lleww i'm eleven and i really like red dwarf,you are the best. kryten is my favourite character,because he's just so funny. it's really interesting to see how it was all made. i really couldn't stop laughing at 6:06. i can't wait for back to earth,but sadly i won't be at home to watch it on the 10th of april,do you know if it will be repeated on dave?
HTprods 2 years ago
Very nice to hear from you. I'm sure Dave will repeat the new episodes of Red Dwarf a lot. I know they are showing them all again on Monday 13th. They also come out on DVD later this year. Hope you enjoy them

You resemble Lance Hendriksen ( Notable for his role as " Bishop " in " Aliens " & " Alien 3 " I believe, as well as " Terminator " and " Frank Black " in the tv series " Millenium " ) Do you see a resemblance ? Also, The Kryten accent - Canadian ?

Thanks for the insight. I've been watching Red Dwarf on and off for years and I never get tired of it.

"What a jerky middle name!"
Not sure if you read every comment your videos get, especially when the video I'm commenting on is almost a year old, but I just wanted to say thanks a lot for the insight into Kryten. :D I was only born in 1991, but even when I was a kid and didn't really understand it, I always loved RD. When I first started watching, I really believed that Kryten was a robot. ^^ I've never been able to nail a Kryten impression, but if I ever see you around, I'll do my best. ;)

The Red Dwarf series was always a 'good' tv show but when Kryten became a regular in it's 3rd year,the show was superb. Kryten became the character that had the best one liners but never stole the other actors thunder. Thank you Rob, for your part in making one of the best sit coms of all time.

I think that David Ross' version of Kryten is far far far more inferior than your version Roberrt. The character would not have been the same with him playing it and i feel that you made Red Dwarf transforn from a great series into possible the Greatest Sitcom of all time!
danwilsonviper 3 years ago
I've subscribed to you for over a year because of your conscious efforts with the environment, I only realized today you were in Red Dwarf based on your Seattle SF Atlanta vid! I watched it on KCTS 9 growing up. I still live in Seattle, and I plan on seeing you and other YouTubers on Monday, excited!

Im glad they didnt cast David Ross permanently.
He was alright for the one episode but I dont believe he would have been as fun as you made kryten to be.
On the subject of RD, I also love the theory of landstrom's luck virus, and imagining some people at sometime in their life contract the virus, does it happen in real life maybe?...lol

Having a mask fitting sounds worse that the 7th circle of Hell butt. kryten has the best lines in all of red dwarf, lister has the most disgusting scenes, you know getting off with space monsters and the living dead :0===> Nothing comes to mind about the other two part from Ace Rimmer lol Red Dwarf for ever *****sters

When the BBC are desperate for real rarings again they will ressurect Red Dwarf whop knows perhaps for a movie... like Dr Who. Perhaps Red Dawrf meets Dr Who special, just not a twee 5 minute job for Comic Relief... as those teasers are just annoying in their shortness.
