Welcome to yet another document which I had nothing to do with the production of, all credit for this should go to James Shaw.
V1.2.1 16th April 1996 Compiled by Jim.
(C) Copyright James Shaw 1995,1996
Once upon a time I thought I'd get together a comprehensive list of all the roles and cameos where the Red Dwarf gang have appeared. Since posting this list I've had loads of additions and many have appeared on the news group so I thought I'd just re-post it and get you guys up to date :)
Amazingly enough, I've alphabetized it all now, so you can find stuff.
Here is the list so far. If you have any amendments/additions please *e-mail* me, so I can add them in. jim@curved-logic.com (Note the change of address)
Thank you.
Jim.
CHRIS BARRIE (Arnold J. Rimmer BSC SSC)
Carrot's Lib, Spitting Image + radio work with Grant/Naylor. (UK comedy)
In case you're interested PC WORLD are selling a point and click adventure game called 'Simon The Sorcerer' (PC-CD ROM) at under a tenner. It's a pretty cool game and what's more it's a 'talkie', all the lines are spoken rather than appearing in subtitles, and Chris plays the title role.
The Young Ones. UK comedy show. Have a look at the episode "Nasty" in the scene aboard the English hulk set for Australia (the one inside that picture on the wall). There is an English sailor who comes on and starts going on about the ship being covered in concubines who looks and sounds suspiciously like Chris Barrie (or Christopher Barrie as his name appears in the credits).
Star of The Brittas Empire. UK comedy show.
Chris Barrie has also appeared on an episode of "Filthy, Rich And Catflap" which starred Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson and Nigel Planer. He played the role of the director of the program "Ooer, Sounds A Bit Rude".
For a bit more trivia, he also was in the third Blackadder series in the episode that they don't like to show on television very much (you know the one about the Scarlet Pimpernel). He played the role of a French guard. >Not actually a French *guard*; he's listed in the credits as >"Ambassador, a Fearsome Revolutionary". The episode is called 'Nob And Nobility' and it's the third episode of Blackadder III.
Hi; just a rumour from me that I saw Chris Barrie in a comedy sketch show in the early eighties (along with Hale and Pace). It was called 'Pushing Up Daisies'. ;)
The Legend Of Lochnagar. The Lenny Henry Show. Jackanory ('The Fox And The Chicken'). White Goods (telemovie). Noel's House Party as Gordon Brittas.
Tons of ads including a rather cringing one for Jif Micro-Liquid.
Advert for MB games 'Flix' marble game (voiceover)
Has also appeared in "French And Saunders" as a gay make-up artist.
CRAIG CHARLES (Lister)
Saturday Night Live
Some cooking show - he was cooking beef and Newcastle Brown! The show's called "The Reluctant Cook".
I also saw him in a play about some prisoners on BBC2, but I know not of the name.
Craig Charles did 'What's That Noise' a children's music program for a while. He also introduced a series of Sci-Fi films on BBC2.
Host of the show Cyberzone. Craig Goes Mad In Melbourne.
Them And Us.
Prince Cinders.
English Express (UK children's English educational program).
He was a regular on Wogan's late night show. I have a list somewhere of the things he did before Red Dwarf: mostly poetry readings and current affairs for black people. This is info I collected when I went to his trial.
Just watched our Craig do a poem on the James Whale Show (11/11/95). It was called Brewer's Droop, and was pretty good. Tonight seems to be Craig Charles Night - I also saw him on Big Night In earlier.
Craig managed to get himself on TV three times in the space of about two hours last night. In order of appearance: Don't Give Up Your Day Job Big Night In and James Whale Show.
An episode of The Bill
I also saw him in a play, a different one, I think, with two other blokes. It seemed to be some kind of re-hash of Jesus' Last Supper - *perhaps*... It was in costume, but had a kind of contemporary feel to it.
Do you also want to know about the interview he did on Pebble Mill years ago?? =) [YES PLEASE TELL ME]
And yes, in the meantime, Craig Charles will be starring in Linda La Plante's The Governor, in which (if I remember correctly) he plays a psychopath.
CRAIG CHARLES is in "Help!" Also in this show is JAKE ABRAHAM, the Alternative Lister from The Inquisitor.
HATTIE HAYRIDGE (Holly #2)
Have I Got News For You. UK comedy show.
Hattie Hayridge stars in a programme on Radio 4 on September 17 at 7pm. It seems to be a play for children about a futuristic private eye called Zip Krengos (Hattie's character).
She also appeared in "London Underground" which is shown on Comedy Central and I THINK on some station in England.
The Stand Up Show.
Advice Shop.
She joined the ranks of the low when she appeared on Celebrity Squares. She also had a bit to say on a documentary about the writers of 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum' and 'Hi De Hi'. Talked a bit about how male writers aren't so good at writing parts for women.
This may be a ridiculous and inaccurate observation, but I feel that
I should express my belief...I will admit to watching the beginning of
the quite remarkably bad film King Ralph... There was a scene with a group
of anarchistic punk types watching TV through a shop window. The woman
looked suspiciously like our own Hattie Hayridge. Can anyone confirm or
deny this?
HATTIE SAYS IT IS DEFINITELY NOT HER! (Thank Annette
for asking her!)
DANNY JOHN-JULES (Cat)
Cats (seriously!), Starlight Express, Time and Barnum. Danny John-Jules is also on the show Tomorrow People. It's on Nickelodeon, but I think it's British. He plays a rock star named Byron Lucifer.
Barrington (the first Rastafarian): Maid Marian & Her Merry Men. UK children's comedy show. (Very funny indeed IMHO).
DJ-J has appeared in Carmen Jones, I know this 'coz about 12 of my RD eps have a voice-over saying "Danny John-Jules is currently appearing in Carmen Jones at the something Theatre"
An episode of The Bill. (No one seems to be able to identify which episode / series this was in - ne1 help?) The movie Little Shop Of Horrors (as a do-wop singer, very brief). Look out for him in the song where Rick Morranis explains where he got the plant from- as he crossses the road there are 3 or 4 guys singing "Doop do wop" or something equally bizzare and I`m fairly sure DJJ is one of them.
Runaway Bay.
Jackanory. (Which story?)
Carmen Jones.
Don't forget the infamous Polo advert.
You forgot one, or two, actually. Danny John-Jules did the voices for two of the "fiery" characters in the movie Labyrinth starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. (You know, those guys that took off their heads and arms and stuff.)
He was also one of the background dancers in the dance scene in "The Great Muppet Caper". Really. It's the scene in the restaurant right before the diamond necklace gets stolen. Don't blink or you'll miss him.
ROBERT LLEWELLYN (Kryten)
I-Camcorder. UK TV show on how to make home vids.
I saw a 'Bottom' (UK comedy) recently that had the guy who plays Kryten as a one-legged tough Army vet and the girl who plays Saffron on AbFab as a tarty barmaid.... The episode is "Parade" and he's a Falklands war veteran.
Macleans advert. (UK) Macleans is a brand of toothpaste in the UK and the voice over was done by a certain series 4000 mechanoid, who in my opinion has sold out.
Nissan advert (UK), Robert Llewellyn! (Doing his Kryten voice.)
Yes, that's right, Robert Llewellyn's written a sitcom. It's called "Loose Slates" and it is going to be in the Channel 4 Sitcom Festival (12-30 July 95) at Riverside Studios, Crisp Road, London, W6.
Robert Llewellyn's first TV show was with NORMAN LOVETT in the early 80's in a show called "Book 'Em And Risk It!" I think this is very odd and surreal.
An episode of Murder Most Horrid, starring Dawn French. An episode of Grushko.
Prince Cinders.
Mammon, Robot Born Of Woman.
I heard he has also done a couple of things for C4 - spin offs of his The Reconstructed Heart book, I think. Don't ask me any more I can't remember.
NORMAN LOVETT (Holly #1)
I've just got hold of a CD called "Miniatures: a sequence of fifty-one tiny masterpieces" - Austrian import pressing of a 1980 album. Good stuff - has the Residents, Fred Frith, and Robert Fripp on it, if that gives you any idea. Anyhow, one of the tracks on this is "John Peel Sings The Blues Badly", a satirical piece by Norman Lovett. Know if this is the same Norman Lovett from Red Dwarf?
Don't know why anyone would care, but I recently saw an episode of The Young Ones (the episode where they try to hold up a bank) and was surprised to see the entire upper torso of our favorite computer personality (and I don't mean Marvin). He was the proprietor of a penny arcade and had two lines. Last ep of 2nd series "Summer Holiday" in the bank, standing in line with a wheelbarrow full of pennies. The line is: Neil: Hello! Do you work here? Lovett (depressed): Yeah. At the penny arcade across the road. This is the punch line to Rick saying he hated banks because you always end up behind the owner of a penny arcade cashing in a week's takings. I think you have to see it before you find it funny.
Also look for Norman Lovett in the video compilation of Dangerous Brothers with Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson. He's chained to the wall of a dungeon and, if memory serves me correctly, gets his leg cut off at the knee.
Was the 'floor manager' on Ruby Wax's Don't Miss Wax. (UK comedy)
I, Lovett. (UK comedy)
Norman Lovett appeared in an episode of Keeping Up Appearances.

Hunter in Colin's Sandwich.
As Dr. Jim Morrison in The Young Ones episode 'Interesting'.
There's a cruddy American private-eye show from 1993 called "South Of Sunset" (which stars Glen Frey, ex of The Eagles -- his character has a pet duck, which probably goes some way to telling you why this little 'gem' of a show is hiding in a 2.00 am time slot!). Anyway, Nicholas Ball was guesting as a thief called Cooper (and making a brave, if not entirely convincing, attempt at an American accent).
Last night I saw Nicholas Ball (the simulant from Justice) and Jake Abraham (the Alternative Lister from The Inquisitor) both in The Governor (that Lynda La Plante series about the female prison governor).
MORWENNA BANKS (XPress Lifts Hostess in Stasis Leak)

LEE CORNES (Paranoia in Confidence And Paranoia)
Also, Lister's Paranoia is Lee Cornes, also known as Dick Head in Bottom. And Mark Williams plays bloke who gets his arm pinched by Richie at his birthday party and is also known as Olaf Petersen (very good in bed!)
Lee Cornes was also in an episode of Rab C. Nesbitt. Can't remember the name, but it's the one where they go off to a holiday cabin and Jamsie loudly declares himself, as, erm, a dodgy bloke. Then gets beaten up.
One of the guards in the Blackadder II episode 'Chains'.
Shelley in 'Ink And Incapability', Blackadder The Third. Private Fraser in 'Corporal Punishment', Blackadder Goes Forth.

In The Young Ones episodes 'Time' (as Spaspecker The Dull), and 'Cash'.
Lee played, for a number of series, a Teacher on "Grange Hill",
a BBC children's TV show set in a London school;
I forget the character's name, though. I think you're refering to 'Mr
Hankin', one of the science teachers.
Oh, you might want to change played to plays, 'cos I saw Grange Hill
last night, and he's still in it.
Lee also appeared in an episode of 'The Detectives'. A spoof police program starring Jasper Carrot and Robert Powell. I can't remember the name of the episode, but it was in the most recent series (3 or 4, I think). It was the episode in which Briggs and Louis (Powell and Carrot) killed a turtle, so they go over to the bloke in the drugs department (Cornes) to get an assignment as far away fromthe turtle as possible. It was called 'Assignment : Naughty Schoolgirl'.

TONY HAWKS/HAWKES (Dispensing machine in Future Echoes, Advertisement voice-over in Me^2 the guide - Better Than Life; the suitcase - Stasis Leak; the compere - Backwards; and Caligula Wax-droid - Meltdown)
A show called "Morris Minor's Marvellous Motors" starred someone called TONY HAWKES. This *may* be TONY HAWKS who did many RD guest spots, and just spelled wrongly; then again it may be someone completely different. :-) It was him. Under the same name (Morris Minor) he also released two songs - Stutter Rap which was a hit, and This Is The Chorus, which was a flop.
Tony Hawks is a regular panel guest on "Do The Right Thing". He also provides the voice over for De Montford University's TV ad.
JANE HORROCKS (Nirvanah Crane in Holoship)
Bubble in Absolutely Fabulous.
The movie The Dressmaker.

The 10%ers (UK comedy by GN)
Kepple in Bernard And The Genie (love that Lenny Henry!).
When Batman was on I missed the first half of it, during which the character Bob The Cartoonist appeared. This character is credited at the end to Dennis Lill. Makes me wonder (probably isn't him, but stranger things have happened).
STEVEN MACKINTOSH/STEPHEN MCKINTOSH (Thicky Holden from Timeslides)
A Steven Mackintosh is listed in the credits of "The Secret Diary Of Adrian Mole" and "The Growing Pains Of Adrian Mole". I would bet that the spelling is slightly wrong and that this is actually STEPHEN MCKINTOSH (Thicky Holden from Timeslides); though naturally I wouldn't stake my life on it!
MAC McDONALD (Captain Hollister)
Recently, I was watching the Director's cut of Aliens and I noticed that Mac McDonald was in it and he played the colony commander on LV-426. He had a couple of funny lines and that was it. He was completely cut out of the movie in the regular version that you can find higgledy-piggledy on any video shelf. I found that to be really cool.
Played the painted-up bad guy in an apalling piece of trash called "The Glam Metal Detectives", which also featured Sara Stockbridge, one of the 'handmaidens' from Terrorform.
Played an army commander in Young Indiana Jones, and has played American cops in Smith And Jones and Punt And Dennis.
Found Mac McDonald (Captain Hollister) as one of the Joker's goons in Batman. He gets to say at least one whole line! Wow!!

Don't Miss Wax.
The Full Wax.
