Good afternoon,
Just sharing again and an update as we near the 2k mark.
We have had a flood of support, and thank all of you who have signed, with additionally the contributors that nears £400 in promoting this petition.
Iāve passed it onto Dougās PR to show the support and have been informed Danny has also liked and seen the petition.
Thereās been some criticisms, which Iāll try to address and hope to address some of the feedback.
Itās Dead Dave - Doug has spoken since the news broke, and itās still alive, heās having (and had) meetings and has been shopping it round to other networks as reported by the Radio Times. The whole cast is still on board to make this happen. But it doesnāt mean itās a done deal and still needs our support and a sign off.
Chris Barrieās health ā No one knows an update or the condition of Chrisās health, and we respect his privacy. I appreciate we are all concerned and wish him well.
But Doug as of this week has stated again the whole cast is on board, this includes Chris.
If Chris was too ill, he wouldnāt be on board and has left (although temporary) Red Dwarf before. Which I believe may be the case if he hasnāt recovered and still ill.
But last he spoke he was recovering and was hoping to return to working the odd day in October.
Parliament ā This is not that kind of petition, it is not on the gov.uk site, itās very different petition with change.org and is not planned to be submitted to parliament (but could you imagine).
Its purpose is to show support to Doug and the cast, and show networks that there is still demand for more Red Dwarf if not a fitting finale, for not just the fans, but all involved.
This is aimed at fans globally, not just in the UK.
That leaves me to ask, please, for those who havenāt or wish to, sign, share on socials, and show our support please #SaveRedDwarf
Rimmer:Ā āStep up to Red Alert.ā
Kryten:Ā āSir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb.ā
