Red Dwarf

[Cowabunga Carl]

I don't know how many of you know about this awesome British show. The plot is fairly simple, a man awakens three million years after being put into stases to find the rest of the crew dead. He finds a life form evolved from the cat he smuggled on board, a hologram of his dead bunk mate he can't stand, and the ships computer that has gone senile. His goal is to get back to Earth and the show deals with the hijinks that ensue.

Anyway I started watching it again. I have all eight seasons on DVD, only missing the most recent dvd Back to Earth. For a show that started in 1988 and ran to 1999, with a few hiatuses, it still stands the test of time.

I was just wondering if there were any other fans on here. Talk about the good old days. Talk about the new season that is supposed to air this fall.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i love this show! is it on NetFlix?

[Cowabunga Carl]

It is on Netflix, at least it was last time I checked.

I started watching my dvd's of this for the first time in about five years. They were in Oregon and I was in Indiana. Man I missed this show.

I was thinking of how awesome it would be if there were action figures.

[TheCanadiandrome]

It is on Netflix, at least it was last time I checked.



awesomeness! :tcool:

[Cowabunga Carl]

I just started the episode where Craig Fergeson plays Lister's confidence. He was so young back then. Probably one of my favorite episodes from season 1.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i'm going to start watching on my next holidays

[Cowabunga Carl]

New season starts this fall. I just hope they bring it over on BBC America.

[AcidBurn30]

i love that show, the writer posted in 2003 that they're bring it back into the movies with the original cost from the show..just upgraded ..i love the backward world when Cat went to **** and the **** went up his ass at the end of the show lmao i couldnt stop laughing...it was sick ,but funny because he forgot.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Yeah i believe it was 2009 they ended up going with a three part mini-series cause they couldn't get the funding for a movie off the ground. It was called Back to Earth and was really good. It showed that people still loved these characters and wanted more of them. So it lead to the team trying to get funding for another season. They did it and filmed a new season last year. It is set to air this fall in England, no word on if it will make the leap across the pond this fall or not though.

[TheCanadiandrome]

New season starts this fall. I just hope they bring it over on BBC America.

and BBC Canada for us! or at least air it on SPACE like we do with Doctor Who

[Cowabunga Carl]

I really thought there would be more of us on here. Anyway making my way through season 2 and it's just as amazing now as it was then.

[Shreddhead]

this is an amazing show! The intro alone is worth checking out, even if the plot doesnt float yer boat.
Anyone remember Kryten's groinal attachment?

[Cowabunga Carl]

Ah yes. I believe it's name was Arthur in season 8. He lost it so the classified him as a woman and he had to share a cell with Kochanski.

[TheCanadiandrome]

i found it all on Amazon so when i get some extra dough i plan to gets it all!

[KROW]

I really thought there would be more of us on here.

I'm a huge Dwarfer. The other members I know who also love the show are Storm Wolf, Hannah, and ZariusTwo. Plus, there's about one or two other threads about Red Dwarf somewhere. They never got many replies, either, so... yeah.

Anyhow, I've got all nine seasons and a couple novels based on the series. Every now and then, I'll pop in a DVD and watch a couple episodes, usually from series IV and up. I love the classics, though, and love Rimmer and Lister's exchanges. Once Kryten became a mainstay, it got even better. Each character has their own flair and the actors make them blend really well.

I can't wait for the tenth series to land here in the US. I know it'll be a blast.

[Hero]

Fun Fun Fun, in the Sun Sun Sun.

I know someone who went to the Season 10 recordings as part of the canned laughter audience. They said what they saw was great, but obviously could not give details.

But yeah, the canned laughter is back.

[soliloquy]

Add me to the list! This show was beyond awesome! I'm very glad to hear there's a new season coming - I will be keeping an eye out for it.

That episode with Kryten's groinal attachment was one of my favorites! I also LOVE the Smeg-ups episodes. Another one of my favorite episodes was the one with the Inquisitor; I always crack up laughing when the Inquisitor talks through Lister.

I could go on all day! Now I want to find the episodes and have a Red Dwarf marathon.

:trazz:

[Hannah]

Yeah, this show rules. I never got too far into it but I was a big fan of what I did see. I'm transferring my iTunes library to my new computer and I just found my Red Dwarf music. So good.

[ZariusTwo]

We have our first look at Red Dwarf 10

[Livi-Love]

I love Red Dwarf. I've met Craig Charles, who plays Lister. I wish I could remember more about it though... this was years ago.

[Cowabunga Carl]

This looks great. Can't wait to see more. Wonder how long it will take to get it over here in USA.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Has anyone seen an official release date for this.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Not yet, was hoping there was an update

[ZariusTwo]

Has anyone seen an official release date for this.

October 4th on DAVE. No U.S airdate confirmed yet, I don't even think RD has a network pick-up over there.

[Cowabunga Carl]

I figured it would be shown on BBC America. Though I don't know for sure. I saw them on PBS growing up. Just curious as how and when it will come over here.

[ZariusTwo]

I figured it would be shown on BBC America. Though I don't know for sur.

Red Dwarf is no longer associated with the BBC, they didnt want a new series, DAVE are an independent channel and offered to pay for new episodes, so the show moved there.

The 2009 series, Back to Earth, aired on PBS in the States, so this will likely happen with Series X.

I'd say just wait for the DVD.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Well I'm hoping it airs on SPACE here

You folks in the UK let us Yanks know how it was after the premiere tonight. ;)

[TheCanadiandrome]

yeah totally!

[ZariusTwo]

The 'Dwarfers are back.

Rimmer was at his weasly best tonight, managing to hoodwink his brother Howard into thinking he was a qualified captain, he even kept the pretense up as Howard was on his deathbed, what a smegger.

Poor Lister, his rant about filing a complaint to the phone order service was great, and while the phone ultimately died on him, he managed to get a Stirmaster after all in the most unexpected of ways (using the Simulant)

Whenever you hear of swedish drivers, always think of a moose.

Full episode

[Hero]

Bloomin marvellous!

[TheCanadiandrome]

thanks Zarius!

man i hope we get this in NA soon

[Cowabunga Carl]

That was amazing. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see more.

[ZariusTwo]

Another quality episode. The Chinese Whispers sub-plot was brilliant and peaked at "Nickers have braces". Lister taking advantage of "Dave Jr"'s registration was great storytelling and a tremendous pay-off. Looks like the 'Dwarfers won't be installing another computer for a bit if THAT was the result.

Next week the crew meet Jesus!

[TheCanadiandrome]

This needs to come on in NA soon specially seeing as bloody YouTube is taking the eps down

[ZariusTwo]

Second episode is up. Watch it while you can.

xLZoGT8nqGI

[ZariusTwo]

Tonight's ep was great, but then I'm not religious so I don't know if anyone who is will take offense to it or not, the idea of Jesus pointing out how retarded God's logic is can be a pretty big turn-off.

However, they reveal that it's not the Jesus you're thinking of at the end

"The Church of Judas" theory isnt a bad one either.:)

[Mayhem]

Heh, yeah... probably the funniest of the three episodes so far.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Well got an update from tv shows on DVD today,

http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Red-Dwarf-Series-10/17622

[Discogod]

Been a huge Dwarf fan since the 3rd series, more than 20 years ago (doesn't time fly?). Thought it went downhill with the 7th & 8th series, and I didn't even bother with BTE, but this new series is a huge return to form.

I met the cast (Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, Chris Barrie & Norman Lovett) back in 2003 at a signing, they were all thoroughly nice fellas. I've met Craig Charles 4 or 5 times since then, he's remembered me every time...

[ZariusTwo]

Well, that's it, Series X is over. Who knows when the next series will be, it all depends on DVD sales apparently.

Loved how they "resolved" the cliffhanger to Series VIII...by constantly interupting an explanation!:lol:

Rimmer discovers he's really the son of a simple-minded gardner...and it's this that finally makes him a cunning strategist in battle and a hero!

[TheCanadiandrome]

i will be picking this up on DVD

[ZariusTwo]

Here are details and the official logo for the next series (out this summer)

I'm not a big fan of the show, but it's fun to watch every now and then. It's hit and miss at times for me, though.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Oh man that's awesome news

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Can't wait for this. :D

[TheCanadiandrome]

Netflix don't fail me! That's how I watched the last season and that's how I plan to watch the next

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Awesome stuff, should be great, so happy this is happening:D

[ZariusTwo]

New episodes will be uploaded online a week before they air, and the first episode became available yesterday.

Really fun story...the 1920s with a tech-ban means police will confiscate even the toasters:lol:

Oh, and all the speakeasy clubs now supply illegal discussion of scientific theories instead of illegal booze

[Andrew NDB]

I used to stay up late after my bedtime watching tons of late night episodes of Red Dwarf. I think I've seen... at least a few seasons worth, starting at the beginning.

Do they ever get back to Earth? Are they even trying to anymore? What is the overall mission now?

[ZariusTwo]

Do they ever get back to Earth? Are they even trying to anymore? What is the overall mission now?

The current status quoe is Lister is searching for Kochanski, although according to Doug Naylor, there's really no longer any endgame as he has no intention of ever writing a finale.

[ZariusTwo]

"Samsara" was uploaded to UKTVPLAY today.


Cat thinking some of the skeletons were playing twister had my sides going. As did the Cat's "RCamedes" and Knighthood stories.

While the whole "Karma Field" thing is a bit of an old idea (and did I noticed a continuity nod when Kryten mentioned Justice World?), they conveyed it in such a way that gave a good pay-off to every gag in the episode. Lister dashing off after the Cat finds his mineopoly card was great too.

[ZariusTwo]

"Give and Take" is up on UKTVPLAY


They acquired a new droid, "Snacky" the snack dispenser, who they mistake as a medical droid that can help them with transfering Cat's kidneys into Lister. Liked that Rimmer tried to boost Snacky's confidence by bringing up their psychiatric session (in which Snacky said and did nothing), I did feel like Snacky's story just sort of abruptly ended when he instantly managed to recall all the important instructions needed to create a stasis leak. Another RD time travel plot after we had one a fortnight ago seems lazy, but situations from earlier in the episode again played out really well. Lastly, the lift's revenge on Rimmer was great.

Also, I think the antagonist of this episode would not look out of place on an episode of Power Rangers

I still don't quite think they've fleshed out The Cat very well again, I have to keep pointing this out a lot because the summaries involving him always make me think "this is the one where he gets substance", and it turns out to be more of the same.

Kryten had some good laughs "Captain Bollocks", "I could work for Fifa" etc

Also liked Rimmer's relucant heroism in the skirmish in the surgery

And on the designs of the robots...wow, I want to own a toy of Snacky...and I got Kandy-Man vibes from the other one

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Loving this season so far, such a shame there are only a few episodes:cry:

[ZariusTwo]

Apparently they're considering a live stage show and a lego set for next year
