Red Dwarf

[Largo]

this is miles better than i could of imagined, im already laughing a fair bit, great stuff

[Dogg Thang]

Not bad at all so far. Could have been a lot worse. They're keeping it nice and contained and letting the old sitcom stuff work. Characters are a bit odd though, just because they are so much older and yet the lines are like they are for their younger selves. Craig Charles in particular has lost a lot of his energy - but it would have been weird for him to play it all the same way.

I have long forgotten where they are and what is happening though beyond the premise of the first season. Guess it doesn't really matter...

It's great. Utterly predictable and brainless fun!

[Dogg Thang]

Yep, I enjoyed that.

[ETC]

That was what Red Dwarf 7 should have been, hopefully the other 5 episodes are as good

[MartyG]

It had a few good laughs, not a bad effort (series link on Sky is screwed though - it wants to record Red Dwarf IV now :/ )

[Rep]

Brilliant, really enjoyed that, was worried after that awful special but really hope it keeps up this pace.

[Dogg Thang]

Was there a Red Dwarf 8 or 9?

[parkinho]

Was a very good episode, I had planned on waiting for the DVD release to watch the series in one sitting but glad I changed my mind.

series 8

What is being called series 9

It's a shame given the reboot, that the original series 1 & 2 theme wasn't used.

[Dogg Thang]

Oh, they're calling that one 9? It kind of looked like they were ignoring that one in this. So... Holly. Did anything happen to Holly or is there an in-series reason Holly isn't here?

I've got the full DVD set, I really should watch them as I can't remember any of the later ones except for a vague memory of some of them

->Open Spoiler<-

getting killed or ending up just a brain or something...

Iirc they couldn't afford him for the special (RD9) so he pretty much told them to do one, I may be wrong though

[Decider-VT]

Didn't really like this- a lot of the humour felt forced, like the moose joke and Rimmer's meltdowns. Bit of a mistake to air old episodes afterwards as the new one is always going to look poor by comparison, especially when there wasn't anything that could hold a candle to jokes like the Descartes/Popeye gag in Camille. Red Dwarf really needs Rob Grant back.

This. I thought it was perfectly fine , certainly no worse than any other half decent dwarf episode

[Ginger Tosser]

I thought it ok, though the canned laughter was quite poor.
