Bodysnatcher
"Bodysnatcher" was a partly finished script that was written but unused for the first series of the BBC sci-fi sitcom ''Red Dwarf''. It was said to involve the now intangible Rimmer attempting to construct a body of his own using components of Lister's—such as hair. History "Bodysnatcher" was one of the scripts to be handed around during the interview process for the main casting, although at this point it was unnamed. This script allegedly caught the attention of Peter Ridsdale-Scott, the commissioner for BBC Manchester that he read on the train bound for BBC London. Alfred Molina and Alan Rickman, who were auditioning for Lister and Rimmer, performed their audition from this script.

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. Changes Some of the changes made for ''Red Dwarf Remastered'' included: *Replacement title sequences for Series I, II and III. These retained the initial image of Lister painting the outside of ''Red Dwarf'', but featured a new attempt to realise the original intention to pull out from a close-up of Lister to the entire ship in one uninterrupted shot. This was followed by a new fast-paced opening montage similar to those ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
