- Dimension Jump XVII Update
The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club has sadly announced that Philip Laybey who played the young version of Rimmer in Series X has had to pull out of the upcoming Dimension Jump. However, they have also excitingly announced that head huncho Doug Naylor will now be attending. Doug will join the lineup that already contains Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Robert Llewellyn, Hattie Hayridge, Tony Hawks, Sydney Stevenson (Professor Irene E, episode 4), Isla Ure (Dear Dave vending machines, episode 5), Richard O’Callaghan (Hogey the Roguey, episode 6), Alex Hardy(Chancellor Wednesday episode 6), Simon Treves (Lecturer Rimmer, episode 6), Bill Pearson and John Lenahan.
Registration for the event is £65 for current fan club members, and £80 for non-members. The special rate for hotel rooms has no expired for those that haven’t booked, but we recommend that when booking you quote Red Dwarf convention just in case. Book quickly though as both hotel rooms and event tickets are short in supply.
You can find details of how to book them, links to register and more general information on the Dimension Jump website.
