DwarfCast 103 – Rob Grant & Andrew Marshall Interview

No, really. Ahead of their new sketch show pilot The Nether
Regions airing on BBC Radio 4 on Thursday 24th October at 11pm,
Rob Grant and Andrew Marshall invited your intrepid DwarfCast
team of Ian Symes, Danny Stephenson and Jo Sharples for a big old
chat at Rob's kitchen table. We touched upon the "terrifying"
experience of performing in front of an audience, the intricacies
of their writing process, the sketches and characters that didn't
make the final cut, their "bloody magnificent" producer Gordon
Kennedy, and also got the latest on Quanderhorn Series 2. And
yes, we also discussed another show that Rob co-created, covering
his experiences at Dimension Jump, being back on set for the
first time since the 90s, and the possibility of him ever writing
for Red Dwarf again. All this, plus 2point4 Children, Son of
Cliché, Strange, Week Ending and how Rob's The Strangerers caused
unexpected problems for one of Andrew's series. We also grill
Andrew about his connection to Marvin The Paranoid Android, get
Rob's thoughts on the proposed return of Spitting Image, his
friendship with Martin Kemp, and how he pissed off Billy Ocean
when they were both on Top of the Pops. A huge, huge thank you to
Rob and Andrew for their candid, thoughtful and hilarious
interview.
