    Right, we all know Red Dwarf is brilliant, apart from the parts that are shit.

    Opinion is divided over 7, 8 and BTE. You may love them, you may rather eat a lightbulb than watch them again.

    My question is this: are their any bits of the least good episodes that you like?

    For instance, Pete Part 2 (I know it’s been endlessly bashed to buggery, but it deserves it)….I like the 2 seconds of the time-delayed fight where Rimmer gets punched in the stomach / uppercutted and is lifted off the floor.

    It’s a nice piece of physical comedy and the only bit of the episode that doesn’t fill me with a kind of hot, embarrassed nausea.

    So is there a teeny tiny bit of Duct Soup that makes you smile? Is there a fleeting glimmer of amusement in Krytie TV, like a golden kernel of sweetcorn glinting in a pile of bum mulch?

    Tell us.

    >Are you thinking of the tomato-sneeze gag? Uggh. Lister really scraped the bottom of the barrel for that prank. (Yes, I’m aware that when the writing’s good I credit Doug (or Rob and Doug) and when it’s bad I say, “Why’d Lister do that?”)

    A poor gag, for me, saved by Chris’ delivery of the ‘ironing your sneezes’ line. That was the ‘Hey, it’s really Rimmer!’ moment for me.

    Yes, he did. That was the point though wasn’t it?

    *hamster slowly gets going on its wheel in my head…

    Oh yeah. They’d been alone in space so long that he’d used up all his good pranks already.
    I wonder what else I’ve forgotten about BTE. Time for another viewing!

    a load of shite, but the ‘hope we don’t get pulled over’ ‘don’t like it when you’re ratarsed’ line was a cracking holly joke, and I liked the drawn-out salutes of Rimmers and Listers wee wave in that pile of shite series 8.

    Speaking of the Tomato prank, I stumbled upon this on YouTube yesterday.

    I think pretty much everybody has listed the ones I wanted to list.
