It didn't have canned humour, it was live audience. I thought it was miles better than most of what's been made since VI. If that's the first proper true effort after 14 years it deserves to continue

I also thought it was good, miles better than the excerable series 8. I've sort of forgotten series 7/8 (not sure I watched some of them) because they were so bad. I hope the rest of series X maintains this standard. I didn't really have a problem with the characters having aged, didn't really jar for me.
Why is it they used Blue Midget in the credits instead of Starbug? Thought that was wierd.

In all fairness Red Dwarf was never essential viewing, and there is a certain amount of rose tinted spectacles regarding the series. It was never laugh out loud funny all the time.
It was always best when the characters were just dicking around doing things that made no real sense. That's the essence of Red Dwarf, and in that respect the new series works as its gone back to basics.

I think it's Saturday at 10pm, then Wednesday about the same time.
Plus they're repeated on the Dave +1 an hour after.
I've seen the first episode and I really enjoyed it. I found myself laughing throughout, and surely that's the idea of a comedy?!
Red Dwarf has always come up with loads of sci-fi ideas, but because it's a comedy, they're dismissed.
I thought the idea of the spaceship re-combining molecules that were once together was genius!
Looking forward to catching the second episode.

I've just caught the first episode, and I rather enjoyed it. I agree that some of the humour felt forced - the moose gag seemed unfunny at first, but I admit I laughed out loud during the scene with Rimmer and the moose question on the exam. The 'on hold' gag wasn't really very funny, either.
But overall, I liked it - it seemed much more grounded than Back to Earth, and I came out of it looking forward to the next episode - always a good thing.

Ok, so finally saw the first ep the other day. It was ok, nice to see them back in the groove of things but also a shame they waited so long as they're distractingly older and fatter. Craig has definitely lost some of the old energy, like I've said earlier, I just want a great send off/ending. If we dont get that after this season then I may never watch another season. I cant bear to think of this just being left open ended after loving every episode and adventure the gang have gone through. I NEED CLOSURE lol
*edit*
Ok, just seen ep 2 and this really felt like an older episode . . . . in a good way. Classic Dwarf for me so that keeps me happy. Just wonder whats in store next as there doesnt seem to be any particular direction this is heading in. Mind you, RD never really did have a series arc did it?Last edited by bash; 12-10-2012, 14:51.
