From 25 November, 2022: On the 59th anniversary of the funeral of our own murdered-in-broad-daylight John Fitzgerald Kennedy, nothing moves me as much as the handful of scenes (here on my YT channel) where RD’s time-traveling spaceship crew—Kryten the android, Rimmer the Hologram, Cat the evolved cat, and Dave Lister the last human in the universe—unite with a disgraced JFK to right a timeline gone wrong and restore our 35th president’s shining legacy to history. That’s American actor Michael J Shannon playing Kennedy / The Shooter on the Grassy Knoll.

Above Robert Llewellyn, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Craig Charles and Michael J Shannon as Kennedy /  The Shooter on the Grassy Knoll: The Red Dwarf theme by Howard Goodall, who also wrote the score to The Gathering Storm (2002), which was orchestrated, at age 30, by my beloved John Wilson.

EXTRA! This seems to be the best place for this Howard Goodall piece: “The Lord Is My Shepherd (Psalm 23)” aka theme for the BBC’s sweet and funny 1994 series The Vicar of Dibley. Please enjoy its delicate and reverent scrumptiousness.

EXTRA EXTRA! The long, clear, laughtrack-free jukebox version of “Tongue-Tied”! Danny John-Jules never looked more fantastic.
