I always thought Norman's bit would be pre-recorded, like months in advance, and then they'd just drop the VT into the scene as necessary. It has made me quite happy to know that he was right there with them
I live in Maine. And as someone who has spent quite a few summer days on a windy, rocky beach with a frigid ocean, the beach scenes make me laugh so incredibly hard when I was younger.
The biggest laugh out of all of this is that all that suffering in the cold for the beach scene is that none of it ended up being used in the show. A lot of good (and terrible) stuff gets cut from the final product for various reasons, but if I was part of the cast, I would've whinged and moaned at Doug & & Grant until that scene was in the episode. "Listen you, you made me freeze my bollocks off and I'll be smegged if you don't use the scene!"
Better than life is a sinister game.. it tricks you into forgetting your in the game by instantly deleting any memory of you starting it... Love the red dwarf books
How cool is Rhyl sun centre though?! Look at that contraption riding on the ceiling! Looks well dodgy, no safety belts or owt, but you'd be first in line to have a ride as a kid!
+Tom Peterson, Believe it or not that Beach is a 10 minute walk from my House, and if I go to my bathroom window I can actually see the Beach. It's a very nice Beach, but the way it's betrayed in this documentary makes my heart break a little bit, I have so many memories on that beach, and they just shitted all over them. I don't know what time of the year it was when they filmed that episode, but try going there is August, it's bloody hot, packed with people, giant umbrellas, sand castles everywhere, a good way to relax. I shall have to have a word with them, as I am going to see Chris and Robert next month at a local convention.
I also live not to far from it (not as close as you!) and it was really weird watching the episode for the first time not knowing it was a local beach and having that vague niggle at the back of my subconscious saying 'That beach looks terribly familiar...'
+PredictedCyborg, Funny thing is, is that I was living there when this was filmed, I would have been 1 or 2 (depending on what year they filmed the episode, I was born in 1987), and me and my Dad (who is also a Red Dwarf enthusiast) watched this Documentary and we couldn't believe what Beach it was. Like I said you can literally see the beach from my bathroom window, an what makes it even more cooler, is that my Dad spent most of the late 80s building an extension on my House (where he spent most of that time extending the attic), so he would of had a really good view of what was happening on the beach if he had looked in the right direction, and he didn't stop working on the House, whether it was freezing or boiling he'd still be doing it (so there is a 99% chance he would of seen them if he looked). EDIT: For the record we have seen filming taken place on that beach, for the odd documentary about tourist attractions and things like that (which we'd always watch on TV to see if we could catch ourselves, we didn't see ourselves by the way, but did recognise people we knew), but never Red Dwarf unfortunately.
It was filmed a few years before I was even born! xD; It's so weird seeing it back in the late 80s though and still being able to just about recognise it. i mean, I know a beach can't really change that much but it's still fairly weird given how much ELSE has changed along the front in Rhyl over the last about 30 years.
Should have come to Australia. Also, why don't they do basic things like chucking a bunch of hot water bottles or heat packs on their backs where they're sitting to help with the cold?
You Brit(s).... you're so conservative, but still you are able (as the one of the few) to use the really sharp sarcasm in reaaaalityyy. Chichichiiiii. (Do you see? I created a poem!) :-)

Oh god, the Sun Centre. I remember that place...
It's gone now. :(
Bless those guys for going through hell to bring us timeless comedy :)

The ocean? Never. Lakes are nice around here.

Series 2 is best

You know, I remember thinking when I saw the episode filmed on on the beach in the cold that Lister's skin looked a bit blue.
