Much as I like to get myself in trouble with friends and enemies alike by posting about politics, feminism, et al, believe it or not, I still am on LJ primarily for fandom stuff and fun. :-P

There's new Red Dwarf next month! I may not get to see it right away but hey - I'll know it exists, anyway! New cast photos were released today and in that vein, I thought I'd make myself and any of you interested parties a lovely picspam of "then-and-now" with them:

The beginning (circa 1987):

Series 3 cast photo, circa 1990 or so, I believe:

Series 7 cast photo, the mid-90s:

Now:

Cat - the suits have gotten fancier!

Lister; he looks like such a baby in comparison to now!

And Rimmer - guy's fashion sense has improved and the smirk is more evil *G*:

Kryten - don't really have an early one alone of him, but here he is now:

Oh guys. <3 I absolutely love the Series 3 cast photo, though the outfits look more like Series 4. Lister looks so confident, and Rimmer so yummy. I love the other one with the same outfits.

It might BE Series 4; I did think it was 3 for some reason though.

Yup that's series 4 (1991).

And your series 7 one is actually a series 8 shot from 1999.... :-/

Series 1 was 1988.

*runs away*

So, Series 1 was filmed in 1988, not 1987? :-)

Both. Pre and post engineer's strike. ;)

I knew it came out in early 1988, so I thought it was filmed in late 1987 after the strike. I just remember reading something on it, but not in great detail. I know the actors were rehearsing in 1987 and intended to film it then but couldn't, is about all ...

Can't remember the exact dates offhand, but "The End" contains material from before and after the strike. More details maybe on "Bodysnatcher" DVD.

Actually I have a book with the original transmission dates, but it's at home. ;)

Touche, my friend ;-)

Yeah, both series 1 and 2 aired in 1988 so 1987 sounds most plausible for series 1 publicity shots

Thank you for putting a smile on my face. It's like looking at baby pictures of your family :)

I feel like the starkest contrast is with young and older Lister - he has noticeable "road miles," but they look good.

So lovely - I'm fond of all the cast, of course, but Chris has still got it going on, I reckon XD

Now I have "Stacy's Mom" stuck in my head and trying to figure out how to work the words around to something like "Alfie's Dad" instead. LOLOL

...I'm sure that made sense to you, but I'm baffled XD

I believe the Barrie children (or perhaps they go by their real last name, Brown) are named Alfie and Louie. I learned that from Bayliss ...?
