    Also you can get DVDs of the first 5 series (6th coming next month) which is the best way to see them imo

    Just got Series VII delivered to my door,what a time to be without a working DVD player. It looks very good as it has remastered effects and 3 extended episodes. Then this series was where it started to go bad.Rimmer is only in 3 or 4 episodes.
    Gotta love all the cheesy lines,i had a penguin hand puppet at college that helped me score once!! Well it was Maynooth!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,842 ✭✭✭steveland?


    I've fallen behind, Season 5 was the last I bought.

    Must get the new ones soon, Season 6 was one of my favourites, season 7 had some stonkers of episodes... I hate when people write season 7 off...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    Series 1 and 2 were the best IMHO, series 3 was good, but it took a while to adapt to all the changes. Series 4 was excellent, series 5 and 6 were good, series 7 stank to high heaven, Kochanski(sp?) was sh*te in this series. Series 8 picked up again, I love the odd couple thing they had going with Lister and Rimmer, it was more predominant in this series than any other. also Kochanski got better as a character in this one.

    what was the big idea of getting a female Holly in series 3, she was terrible, the guy Holly is fantastic


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 Lealonie


    yeah early series of RD were brill, especially liked the pot noodle jokes but that's me i only ever remember stuff about food :). thought it stunk later on, still watched it tho,

    I agree you did ;)

    The Pot Noodle jokes continued though, remember in the "good" red dwarf in the episode of series 5 where Red Dwarf gets split into good and bad? Angels and Devils or something was it?

    "Let's put it to the ultimate test... let's see if it can make an edible Pot Noodle"

    now i changed it to avoid any further embaressment :o

    yeah i remember that 1 :) i must bust out the DVDs and watch 'em all again, spent a fortune buyin 8 seasons off play.com and haven't watched 'em yet

    i can't remember which season this one is from but Rimmer and Lister are stranded on a sort of ice planet

    Rimmer: Oh, and I found a pot noodle and a tin of dog food.

    Lister: Well its obvious what'll get eaten last. I can't stand pot noodles.

    yeah, that was the one where Lister pretended to burn his guitar, classic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,592 ✭✭✭Ro: maaan!


    I've recently started to watch them all again (slowly) after about 4 years of not watching them. Used to watch them back to back every day. I'm up to the end of series one now. First two series are seriously the best.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17 Lealonie


    i remeber that ep now, he cuts a guitar shape hole in the back of rimmer priceless antique chest so it'd look like he was burn his guitar, that was class :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,706 ✭✭✭Matt Holck


    I like the cat

    Rimmer: 'You're totally egocentric, you flee at the first sign of trouble, you always look out for Number One, you're vain, you're narcissistic and you're self-obsessed.'
    Cat: 'Hey, you just listed all my best features!'

    more quotes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,350 ✭✭✭Lust4Life


    I love it when the Toaster gets on a roll "Want some toast? How about a bagel?"

    Or when they found a mermaid and Lister asked Cat why the top half was a fish? "shouldn't it be the other way around?"
    Cat: No! That's stupid!

    What ever happened to the Movie?


  • Advertisement
  • Closed Accounts Posts: 631 ✭✭✭Glipmac


    Its about damn time this place had an RD chat, I am an RD Fav... as for the movie i have been doing some looking i to it of late due to the fact of i love it so much

    Last thing i heard was that Mr.Depp has showed interest in the show as he quite a fan himself... as for the progress here is what i have found

    The cast have been rehearsing the script for some time now which goes to show that its getting somewhere so it shouldnt be too much longer *(one can hope)* sadly this was back in march this year... other than that there is no "offical" information for you right now

    "Production on the movie will begin shortly following a period of pre-production, with a release date to follow." an "officaial" note from Rob Grant there]

    When are we likely to see a ninth series?

    Doug Naylor was quoted in a recent interview as saying that the future of the TV show relates to Red Dwarf's cinematic release. A series will not happen until the movie is complete, and should the film prove a success, more are possible.

    There is always the possibility of a ninth series, however; or TV specials. The Rimmer/Death cliffhanger could also be resolved in other media - but until the film is complete, no specific plans can be made.

    As for anyother news the new red dwarf DVD-Game is released tomorrow 23rd of October, i am getting this as soon as i can...

    I found this quite funny this was a Question put forward to Mr. Craig Charles at DJXIII (Dimention Jump 13)

    Did you enjoy your screen kiss with Chris Barrie?

    "Yeah. But he didn't have to do that with his hands." He giggled. "I felt sorry for Chris 'cause he's not a smoker. Just to wind him up I smoked 20 cigarettes beforehand." Oh, and apparently Red Dwarf is harder to film than Corrie. Big surprise, there.

    Well thats my say for now, will be back with more info on Cast + Crew and Red Dwarf as soon as i can find out more...

    195. States that in an emergency power situation, a hologrammatic crewmember must lay down his life in order that the living crew-members might survive.
    312. States that crew members in quarantine must be provided with minimum leisure facilities, which Rimmer takes to mean: 'a chess set with 31 missing pieces, a knitting magazine with a pull-out special on crocheted hats, a puzzle magazine with all the crosswords completed and a video of the excellent cinematic treat, Wall-Papering, Painting, And Stippling - A DIY Guide. ("Quarantine")
    349. Any officer found to have been slaughtered and replaced by a shape-changing chameleonic life form shall forfeit all pension rights.
    592. 'In an emergency situation involving two or more officers of equal rank, seniority will be given to whichever officer can programme a VCR.' (PBS ident, also included on the DVD for series VIII)
    595. A quarantine regulation. ("Quarantine")
    597. One berth per registered crew member. ("Quarantine")

    1742. 'No member of the Corps should ever report for active duty in a ginger toupee.'
    1743. 'No registered vessel should attempt to traverse an asteroid belt without deflectors.'
    5796. 'No officer above the rank of mess sergeant is permitted to go into combat with pierced nipples.'
    5797. Has something to do with not letting a crew-member aboard if he may, in fact, be a brain-sucking psychotic temporal lobe slurper, or something of that sort.
    7214. To perserve morale during long-haul missions, all male officers above the rank of First Technician must, during panto season, be ready to put on a dress and a pair of false breasts.
    7713. The log must be kept up to date at all times with current service records, complete mission data, and a comprehensive and accurate list of all crew birthdays so that senior officers may avoid bitter and embarrassing silences when meeting in the corridor with subordinates who have not received a card.
    34124. 'No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity.'
    43872. Suntans will be worn during off-duty hours only

    196156. 'Any officer caught sniffing the saddle of the exercise bicycle in the women's gym will be discharged without trial.'
    1947945. 'A mechanoid may issue orders to human crewmembers if the lives of said crewmembers are directly or indirectly under threat from a hitherto unperceived source and there is inadequate time to explain the precise nature of the enormous and most imminent death threat.' (quoted by Kryten in the original script for "Back to Reality")
    75880932/C. 'POWs have a right to non-violent constraint.'

    39436175880932/B. 'All nations attending the conference are only allocated one parking space.'
    'It is our primary overriding duty to contact other life forms, exchange information, and, wherever possible, bring them home.' (Not given a number on-screen.)

    I thought the episode were Lister developed a virus and it mutated and his paranoia side and his ego side showed up.
    And I was really glad that Lister didn’t take off his helmet in space when his ego told him that air was for losers.
    I haven’t seen all of the Red Dwarf episodes or the movie but I will if it’s the last thing I do. Cheers!
