Entertainment & Music Red Dwarf

[The Goon]

Yes I know it's laddish and predictable, but it has had some great moments along the way. Apparently the season 10 reboot starts on ABC tomorrow night. Anyone else a fan?

I am, can't wait for the new series!

Loved that show, but it jumped the shark seriously badly in season 8. Haven't watched anything after that.

Loved Red Dwarf, but the last 2 seasons were pretty meh. Still anticipating the new series though.

The new episode tonight was fairly good I must say. Much less of the same old tired jokes used in series 7-8.

Really enjoyed last night's episode. Whilst i doubt they'll ever get back to the early series standard much better than the last couple where I was starting to give up on them

Its started on the ABC? Off to iView I go. With all the other crap they've advertised, I never saw an ad for the new Dwarf.

The first 3 series are about as good as TV gets.

Death? It's like being on holiday with a group of Germans.

Yeah the first three series are just fantastic. Next three were patchy but still had some great stuff. Once they introduced Kryten the humour started to get a bit cruder but it was still great watching.

IMO it went downhill pretty quickly with Season 7 - the format changed quite a bit (I think there were some production/writing staff changes or something) and that's when the laddish/predictable humour really took over. I also never really got on board with the idea of Kochanski as a regular character, and eventually stopped watching.

I've toyed with going back and catching up with the 4 most recent series, but I don't think I can bear to see fat Dave and balding Rimmer. I want to save the memories.

I'd say the 6th series was probably the best, however the first 3 were very good as well.

The nail in the coffin was when Barrie had a break, then they made Kryten all effeminate along with the jealously of Kochanski thing. Just so lame.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Series 7 started strongly, for one episode. The JFK ep was probably the last of the classics.
The rest of series 7 and the whole of series 8 were weak, Ful time Kochanski, and nothing like the original, and then being on a fully crewed Red Dwarf failed. They had their moments, but it just dodn't feel like Dwarf.
Back to Earth was genuinely horrible, but X got back to being good again surprisingly. Not Inquisitor good, but still good.
I didn't think it would work with the actors visibly middle aged, but it seemed to.

Rimmer: I used to be in the Samaritans.

Lister: I know. For one morning.

Rimmer: I couldn’t take it any more.

Lister: I don’t blame you. You spoke to five people and they all committed suicide. I wouldn’t mind, but one was a wrong number. He only phoned up for the cricket scores.

Rimmer: Well, it’s hardly my fault everyone chose that day to jump off buildings. It made the papers, you know. Lemming Sunday they called it.

"so what is it?"

Tomorrow. It's on tomorrow's daily goal list. Item 34, right after 'learn Portuguese'.

Has Barry made a sugar puff sandwich?

Has Barry made a sugar puff sandwich?

Not sure. Lots of the sandwiches are from old timey cookbooks.
