Red Dwarf XIII

Having worked on three previous seasons of Red Dwarf, I along with Sound Supervisor Keith Nixon were asked to return to film a one off special for UKTV at Pinewood, London.

The challenges of this comedy TV show are an interesting one. A mechanical robot whose costume has been estabilshed since the 80s and continue’s to sound like squeky rubber, multiple Camera shoot sequences in front of a live studio auideance.

Our department had to come up with a secret in ear monitoring device to have lines delivered whilst shooting live. This required another couple of radio mic frequencies to be installed in an already saturated RF space at Pinewood, London.
