I'm watching the one where they find the time-drive on UK-Gold.
"Herman Goering was a 'bit dodgy'?!"
-
Yeah, Red Dwarf! My buddy has a bunch of the episodes on videotape.
But one of my favorite Red Dwarf episodes technically wasn't an episode at all: Smeg-Ups was fricking hilarious. :lol:
Man, I gotta borrow that tape from my friend again. :D
And then there was the episode with the DNA transmogrifier...
Rimmer: They're probably going to try to return Glen Miller. Let me handle this. (through loudspeaker) Go away! We don't want him! You can keep the smegger!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

see the sig :D

RIMMER: Hmm. Marvelous. (Crosses over to a small, angular box near the
door.) Now this three-dimensional sculpture in particular is quite
exquisite. Its simplicity, it's bold, stark lines... pray, what do you
call it?
LEGION: The light switch.
RIMMER: The light switch. (In "Gazpacho Soup" tones)
LEGION: Yes.
RIMMER: I couldn't buy it, then?
LEGION: Not really. I need it to turn the lights on and off.
-
[color=66FF00]The books are ace too, I loved the bit in the first one where they're going through customs, Rimmer's mate sees that he can't take his special brew on the ship, so he downs a suitcase full of the stuff. When he's getting a memory recording done for the holograpic system he registers as 'non human lifeform'. :lol:
That kills me every time I read it.

Well said, Red Dwarf pwns everything else out there :D
KRYTEN: Listen! Can anyone hear anything?
CAT: No.
KRYTEN: Precisely. No one can hear anything! And you know why we can't hear anything?
RIMMER: Why?
KRYTEN: Because there are NO sounds to hear.
:lol:

They call me the keeed. The Riveria Keeed *dances*
-
Queeg: I've only one thing to say to you
The gang: What?
Queeg: (With Holly's voice) What's happening dudes?
Holly: We are talking jape of the decade. We are talking April, May, June, July and August fool. Yes, that's right, I am Queeg.
The gang: WHAT?!?!?!
:D
My fave RD moment of all time! :D

Rimmer : Isn't it around this time of year your head goes back for retuning :D
I'll bet most of the americans are scratching their heads looking at this thread :D
-
Didn't they try to make an Americanised version, and it failed miserably?
-
Yep, if you don't get British humor, you're lost with this.
-
Yeah, it had Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax from DS9 and Reggie from Becker) as Cat.
I think the pilot episode was so bad they only showed it once.
-
Oh dear oh dear.

I've seen it. It wasn't that dreadful but it wasn't close to the UK version. If you'd never seen the British version you'd probably think it was pretty good.
As it was you recognised that almost all of the good jokes came from the british version.

that one was beuty indeed.
they showed about 10 minutes each day for a few weeks on Dutch TV, to fill up the space between some extremely awfull shows. i never saw a lot of it, but most of it was funny.
-
Do you ever get Porridge on Dutch TV, kas?
-
not that i now of.
-
Damn. I wonder who does then, I've not seen it on the BBC for some time.
-
It's on UK-Gold almost every night.
-
i recieve BBC 1 and 2, but i don;t watch them all to often.
one rather poor TV station runs quite some British comedy's though, Are you being served?, which is very nice, the thing with the French resistant and the German occupieng force, something i find rather boring, and the one with the British military theatre going to India/Indonesia, with the warmonging sargeant.
-
Allo Allo and It Ain't Half Hot (methinks)
-
Allo Allo could be correct, the other i have no clue, because some idiot TV Station dude translated all the titles.
-
Allo Allo was good in parts, never really like It Ain't Half Hot Mum, though.
You're missing a treat with Porridge, though.
And as for UK Gold, I'd have to actually go downstairs to watch it.

Yah, this was another classic Red Dwarf moment.
Another one of my fave episodes was the one with the alternate Universe Rimmer, a handsome, dashing test pilot who is the complete antithesis of the original Rimmer.
Alternate Rimmer: Smoke me a kipper, skipper, I'll be back for breakfast!
:lol:
-
Rimmer's 'death' was pretty cool too. With all those trillions of Ace Rimmer holo-emitters floating around that planet.
-
Yeah, I liked that. Indeed some of it could be quite emotional - and Gunmen Of The Apocalypse was incredibly well written.
Speaking of comedy, ever seen The Britas Empire? It starred Chris Barrie (Arnold Rimmer) - it was pretty good, not Red Dwarf - but nice all the same.
-
Or of course, the emotion-sucking monster that stole Rimmers violent side, and he turned into a bearded pipe-smoking hippy.....
Rimmer : I've created the Campaign for the Liberation and Intergration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society..... The down side is that the Acronym spells 'Clitoris' but I'll work on it.
Lister : Let's get out there and twat it!
-
Brittas Empire owned.
That is all.
-
LISTER: I'm just sayin', there's 79 more days to go.
KRYTEN: And if you still want to be alive when there is only 78 more days to go, I suggest you do not blow your nose.
LISTER: Do you mind if I ask why?
KRYTEN: Well, let's forego the noise and the revolting burbling sound, and go straight to the really gross part, when you always, and I mean always, having blown your nose have to open up your handkerchief and take a look at the contents. I mean, why? What do you expect to see in there? A Turner seascape, perhaps? The face of the Madonna? An undiscovered Shakespearian sonnet?
RIMMER: Do you have a magic carpet?
LISTER: Yeah, a little three-seater.
RIMMER: So, let me get this straight. You want to fly on a magic carpet to see the King of the Potato People and plead with him for your freedom, and you're telling me you are completely sane?!

"Do you think Wilma Flinstone's sexy ?"
I'm sure we know the rest.
and Talkie Toaster (White Hole)
-
I actually think Wilma Flintstone is sexy :nervous:
-
Red dwarf is class! got the DVDs, wish they would release the re-mastered eps on dvd.
Death; Arnold judith Rimmer your time has come
Rimmer(knees death in the nuts) Only the good die young.

t'Was the one in the leisure centre, wasn't it?
-
Yup:
(http://pages.infinit.net/amneria/cbetb/brittas1.jpg)
I loved Rimmer's habit of calling people 'matey' when talking down to them
Ace's light-bee graveyard was also deeply cool, certainly the best thing in that series. Is it me, or did it go distinctly downhill after series six? Inflating the budget and swapping the superb models built from the contents of Shepperton Studio's skips for CGI was not a good idea, I reckons
-
after series6 one half of the Grant/Naylor combo left and was replaced by some guy who's name I forget.
-
What's up with the Red Dawrf film, BTW?

That a) I didn't know and b) explains a huge number of things. But Grant Naylor claimed to be a gestalt entity composed of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor... how could one half leave, unless they were telling porkies?

The one they've been 'working' on for about ten years? Don't know, don't care, as the eightball predicts a lack of funny
-
Last I heard, they were waiting for Barry to finish with Tomb Raider 2 before they began shooting.
And the thing about the later episodes was that they had a plot. And the whole prison-transport thing just plain sucked.
The whole point of Red Dwarf was that you'd start out with them sitting around the table on StarBug, whining about how the Urine-Recyc Wine tasted worse than Dutch Lager and by the end of the episode they'd have travelled through time, destroyed the universe and wound up dying when an evil puppet came to life and destroyed the ship.
There's a ****load of episodes where they never had an end, they just kinda stopped abruptly. Like RimmerWorld. That whole episode was just down-right wierd. Same with that Psi-Moon episode.

[color=66ff00]Betty was more my bag though, she was teh hot. ;)

-
A big part of what ruined series 7 & 8 was the way they turned Kryten into a whiny cry-baby. I never thought that worked very well.
Bring back the rest of the crew in series 8 was also a big mistake.
Craig Charles once described Red Dwarf as like Porridge in space in that it was basically about a bunch of people who hated each other but had to work together. The larger crew spoiled that a lot.

I'd go with Betty. But I'd be thinking of Wilma :D
-
At least you've moved on from Fred.
-
the reason they went to CGI according to the books, is that the original models got destroyed when they where moving it. so i guess with the remastering of the 1st 3 series they just decieded to use the cgi model.
I do agree that it went downhill after series 6, and whole cry-baby thing with kryten went just beyond a joke

Are you sure?
My reasoning being there is - or at least was - a 6 foot long model of Red Dwarf (true to the TV show) hanging opposite the record section of Londons main branch of Virgin Megastores. I kid you not :)

They Stole It! :p

well acording to the scripts of series seven book that i own in the introduction it says that the model was broken beyond repair to use in the show.
