[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

This year on PornHub’s most searched terms: MILF, lesbian and nano-rim.

Surely that should be MILF, CLITORIS, and nano-rim?

Are you sure it’s not supposed to be GELF?

[Flap Jack]

Dave not confident that the new special(s) will come to fruition before 2028.

I just popped to 2028 to check. There were actually 2 new specials before the Ruby Reckoning, but G&T leadership made the controversial decision to rank the combined DVD versions of Back in the Red, Pete and Back to Earth instead of the broadcast episodes. They also decided to include Can’t Smeg Won’t Smeg, Stellar Rescue and Smart Rescue in the ranking.

Apparently these actions were taken due to the insistence of the fourth G&T Admin, Frank Ackerman, who joined in early 2026 and was allegedly also behind the decision to put the Smegazine Rack and Re-Disc-overy podcast series on hold in favour of recording commentaries for every episode of Coronation Street that Craig Charles appeared in.

I did consider making the bottom position 77 but thought that was too optimistic. 

[Unrumble]

It’s going to be knocked off the Podey-um

Well, yes, if you want to be funnier and cleverer than me, I suppose it should.

And why wouldn’t it be MILF?

[Technopeasant]

 Well, yes, if you want to be funnier and cleverer than me, I suppose it should.

Never would dare suggest such a thing, and therefore apologize profusely.

[tombow]

I’ve just remembered something. There was a line in my edition of the Programme Guide that said “the one time Cat was with a woman, he didn’t know what he wanted to do” or something similar. Anyone remember this or know what it was referring to? I thought it might have been the Backwards novel

Somebody posted this the other day and it made me think — even the fucking box is painted gray, man.

[Flap Jack]

Appropriate, because that’s also my reaction when anyone complains about the Series 1 sets being too grey.

[Moonlight]

Something that messes with my head is that, in many ways, Series 2 is a proto-Series III with episodes like Better Than Life, Stasis Leak and Parallel Universe being INCREDIBLY wacky (Kryten is a bit wacky but more in a sitcom farce sort of way), but my favorite episode of 2 is Thanks for the Memory and my other is Queeg. So when I think of Series 2 it tends to be foremost as a refined Series 1 when that’s not really applicable to the whole.

If I say I wish we had more Series 2-style episodes it’s specifically Thanks for the Memory I’m thinking of.

[Warbodog]

That’s why I’ve never rated II & III as highly as the surrounding ones generally, it’s not my favourite style. Though IV also has Meltdown and DNA.

[tombow]

anyone remember this guy’s Bunkroom Dollhouse?

遠藤 大樹@ミニチュアハウス作家 on X: “I love Red Dwarf. I made a Red Dwarf dollhouse. #宇宙船レッドドワーフ号 #RedDwarf https://t.co/O8fSuxq78H” / X (twitter.com)

[Podey]

Not seen that before, quite brilliant!

[RunawayTrain]

Wow!  That’s amazing.

[Quinn: Clochebusters World Champion]

I’ve never seen this mentioned before. But there are strong connections between the opening of Stoke and the movie Point Break that suggest Doug must have been parodying it 

Keanu jumps out of a plane without a parachute chasing after Swayze. Catches up with him and uses his chute, albeit still attached to Swayze, to land

Film is about secret agents and surfing and Ace (an amalgamation of secret agents) surfs the croc

Am I just incredibly late to the party on this, or do Red Dwarf fans just not watch / admit to watching Point Break?

[tombow]

Point Break had a Red hot chili Pepper member in it…and Craig Charles is a FUNK and soul DJ…. it’s all starting to make sense…

I rarely watch films anyway, and a lot of the cultural touchstones are not really my taste from what I hear / clips I see.

Chris Barrie -> Simon the Sorcerer

Danny John-Jules -> Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko

Robert Llewellyn -> The Feeble Files, Discworld Noir

So, why wasn’t Craig in any video games in the 1990s, eh?

They were released in the 00s, but surprised he didn’t appear in any of the Robot Wars video games 

[Nick R]

A mundane observation
(You might think it lame)
Why wasn’t Craig Charles
In a video game?

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Esporters can speedrun and get those high scores

But there’s no Craig Charles in the games of Robot Wars

[Flap Jack]

Well, the campaign for Craig Charles to play Peter Parker in Insomniac’s next Spider-Man game starts now.

[loadoftottnumb]

Did he present Games Master for a bit or did I imagine that? 

*Edit: I imagined it. 

[Moonlight]

Petition to replace Sonic’s current voice actor with Danny, doing the Cat voice like on Gex. I think it would fit.

[Dave]

Bobby as Tails, Chris as Robotnik, Craig as Knuckles. I could see it working.

[Dave]

With Metal Sonic played by Snacky.

[Flap Jack]

Not Mark Quartley, of course. Snacky.

[Ridley]

Cyberzone

You might have been thinking of this https://www.ganymede.tv/2018/07/gtv-super-mario-all-stars-video/

[Dave]

Not Mark Quartley, of course. Snacky.

It was funnier to imagine Snacky entirely replacing Metal Sonic, I thought. 

[Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day now]

Are you thinking of Cyberzone, that game show he hosted in 1993 about players competing in virtual reality?

Awooga!

[Flap Jack]

It was funnier to imagine Snacky entirely replacing Metal Sonic, I thought.

I mean I can’t disagree. Snacky is such a fully defined character, it’s more like a secondary personality than a mere acting role. Like Alan Partridge.

But the remaining question is, who should Kerry Shale play?

I’ll just put him down for James Marsden.

[loadoftottnumb]

Thanks guys, yes probably Cyberzone with a sprinkling of that Nintendo thing 

[Technopeasant]

I think you’ll find Kerry Shale has done his share of video games.

[Moonlight]

Kerry Shale reads for every one of the Knuckles clan in a racist impression of whatever the hell a Mayan accent sounds like.

[tombow]

my parents made me go to swimming lessons then and I have such strong memories of being home right after, stinking of chlorine and feeling faintly sick, while eating dinner and watching Cyberzone. It looks so primitive now.

[Warbodog]

Bloody parents forcing us to learn life-saving skills. I only went through with it to get the promised Garfield Annual.
