Red Dwarf - Making of Remastered

A short documentary about the remastered versions of the first three series of Red Dwarf from the Body Snatcher DVD collection.

Red Dwarf Remastered was an attempt in the mid-1990s to bring the first three series of the BBC's cult sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf up to date. A collaborative effort between BBC Worldwide and Grant Naylor Productions, it was hoped that remastered versions of the episodes would prove more appealing to broadcasters in international territories. Only Series I-III were remastered, although the BBC had commissioned for the remastering of Series IV and V as well. Doug Naylor decided to put the project on hold and wait for technology to catch up with their vision.

@rainbowsalads They won't be doing anymore Remastered Red Dwarf. They stopped at series 3 and that looks like it.

"Replacing footage that REALLY annoyed the makers!" Why did Norman Lovett's original performance "really annoy" the makers? It was brilliant!

Sorry Doug, I prefer my Dwarf to be stocky and dirty not long and shiny.

Jem Whippy (the sound guy) also did the face of the new Gordon in a deleted scene.
