I liked the photo of Macintyre on the grave stone and of course the lovely tribute to Mel Bibby. Also Cats line in part 3 “This is worse than Rimmer World” April 13, 2009 at 5:47 pm #96368 MnoooahParticipant Said it before, but- the price smashers bunkroom. April 13, 2009 at 5:54 pm #96369 philmyer92Participant picture of Listers dads dog, Hannah, in the price smashers bunkroom April 13, 2009 at 6:01 pm #96373 AndrewParticipant I highly recommend looking at the TV in background of the Price Smashes bunkroom… April 13, 2009 at 6:07 pm #96375 MnoooahParticipant shoot, don’t recognize it. Somebody? April 13, 2009 at 6:08 pm #96376 DessieParticipant Is it symbolizing the squid? April 13, 2009 at 6:13 pm #96379 AndrewParticipant Here’s a clearer photo: April 13, 2009 at 6:14 pm #96380 DessieParticipant Holly? April 13, 2009 at 6:19 pm #96382 MnoooahParticipant Oh for fuck’s sake, you beaut! Thanks for showing us that! April 13, 2009 at 6:20 pm #96383 DessieParticipant That is brilliant! I wouldn’t of noticed that if i watched it 100 times. April 13, 2009 at 6:28 pm #96384 pfmParticipant Those leaves are far too long for a computer. Oh, and what’re those spots in the middle of it’s ‘head’? April 13, 2009 at 6:30 pm #96385 AnonymousInactive Mel Bibby’s picture at the gravestone. Didn’t make me smile but it was Hell of a nice thing to do. RIP April 13, 2009 at 6:30 pm #96386 JamesTCParticipant Normans replacement is a plant. April 13, 2009 at 6:31 pm #96387 MnoooahParticipant Plants are quieter. April 13, 2009 at 6:32 pm #96388 SkyAndSunParticipant And I bet it moans if it’s not recast in the future. April 13, 2009 at 6:35 pm #96391 Seb PatrickKeymaster We spotted Hannah, Lister’s grandma and the Jupiter Rise in that scene – and also that it was basically laid out like the bunkroom, though I guess everyone got those. As I mentioned on the cast, I liked “We want more life, smegger!” Felt like a rare occasion when using the word was justified. Also, was it deliberately muffled the second time, to match the fact that it’s been said that in the film the muffling was deliberate so that it could be interpreted as either “father” or “fucker”? April 13, 2009 at 6:42 pm #96394 AlexParticipant And I bet it moans if it?s not recast in the future. I think you?d have to forgive that of an anthropomorphic plant… April 13, 2009 at 6:43 pm #96395 hummingbirdParticipant There was a guitar in the bunkroom, too. April 13, 2009 at 6:49 pm #96397 MnoooahParticipant Just watching it again, aquired a new appreciation of the people wandering through it. April 13, 2009 at 7:29 pm #96401 siParticipant This Special was originally going to be a celebration of 21 years of Red Dwarf, yes? I bet if you got a list of every episode, and ticked them off as they were mentioned or referenced in BtE, you’d have ticked most of them… April 13, 2009 at 7:34 pm #96402 Seb PatrickKeymaster >Just watching it again, aquired a new appreciation of the people wandering through it. Do tell? I can’t spot anything about them… April 13, 2009 at 8:04 pm #96403 MnoooahParticipant Oh, just that there are random people in a bunkroom scene. They’re probably only there to maintain the store atmosphere, but the fact that Lister has to stop and wait for the crowd to clear out before he can talk strikes me as funny. April 13, 2009 at 8:07 pm #96404 JonsmadParticipant In the coronation street Kabin Scene. A sign on the counter that says “Actors do not eat the sweets unless scripted to do so – This means you!” Which is both a nice nod to the fact they are in the coronation street set, and also a nod to the fact that the dwarf crew are scripted by their group halucination. April 13, 2009 at 8:16 pm #96406 Nick RParticipant > There was a guitar in the bunkroom, too. Lister was also preparing to take it with him through the portal. April 13, 2009 at 8:22 pm #96407 AndrewParticipant You’ll see a lot of ‘cameos’ from the crew. Jo Howard and Howard Burden on the escalator in part two, members of the production team in the ‘bunkroom’, Mike Seymour outside the comic shop (with, um, the back of my head, left of frame)… April 13, 2009 at 8:29 pm #96408 MnoooahParticipant The crew surrounded by… the crew. Nice! April 13, 2009 at 8:32 pm #96409 MnoooahParticipant All the back of andrew’s head wanted was a sitcom… in a biscuit factory. April 13, 2009 at 9:24 pm #96424 JamesTCParticipant >This Special was originally going to be a celebration of 21 years of Red Dwarf, yes? I bet if you got a list of every episode, and ticked them off as they were mentioned or referenced in BtE, you?d have ticked most of them? Hmm, well let us have a look, I’m watching it now so I will add as I watch – Rimmerworld (Cat mentiones it in Coronation Street) Out of Time/Tikka to Ride (time drive) Polymorph (scene played in the background and the snake is mentioned) Back to Reality (isn’t obvious) Balance of Power (can only sustain one hologram stuff and Lister’s face down the window thing) Timeslides (mentioned in comic shop) Marooned (classic car mag stuff, he expressed an intrest in cars in that episode) Quarantine (Mr Flibble in his mini cameo in the show) Terrorform (Kryten wearing the arm bands) Legion (“no way this will work” similar to the end of ‘Legion’ were none of them think it will work) Beyond a Joke/Justice (simulant) Back to Earth (Yes I am counting this, it refrences itself) Demons and Angels (Die screaming with sharp things in your head) Most of Series 1 (Mugs Murphy) Better than Life/ Me2 (videos replacing DVDs) Future Echoes (Lister’s Dog Hannah being in the mini-bunkroom) Backwards (Kryten dressing up so as not to look weird) Gunmen of the Apocalypse (a picture of Rimmer from the episode in the comic shop) The Inquisitor (a head knocker appears) Parallel Universe (Holly hop Drive mentioned in comic shop) Have I missed any? April 13, 2009 at 9:26 pm #96425 SkyAndSunParticipant Munchkins… April 13, 2009 at 9:28 pm #96426 JamesTCParticipant I thought of that but I thought it was something to do with Blade Runner. April 13, 2009 at 9:33 pm #96427 Pete Part ThreeParticipant >Beyond a Joke/Justice (simulant) Where was the simulant? April 13, 2009 at 9:42 pm #96428 JamesTCParticipant Swallow had a simulant costume on. April 13, 2009 at 9:43 pm #96429 Seb PatrickKeymaster >I thought of that but I thought it was something to do with Blade Runner. I think it was a bit of both – certainly, making them both Rimmer called to mind Blue! Nice list, btw. Pretty sure it can be added to but that’s a good start! April 13, 2009 at 9:44 pm #96430 JamesTCParticipant Rachel was mentioned but I can’t remember the first episode she was mentioned, it was Series II or III, possibly ‘Timeslides’ but it might have been mentioned earlier. April 13, 2009 at 9:46 pm #96432 Pete Part ThreeParticipant Yes, I think you’ve proved conclusively that BTE is to Red Dwarf what Die Another Day was to Bond. April 13, 2009 at 9:58 pm #96435 Ian SymesKeymaster A touch I thought I’d imagined on first viewing but confirmed just now – the little meow on the establishing shot of Coronation Street at the start of Part Three. April 13, 2009 at 10:02 pm #96437 MnoooahParticipant What is the meow for? April 13, 2009 at 10:03 pm #96439 AndrewParticipant Milk. April 13, 2009 at 10:04 pm #96440 JonsmadParticipant The space corp directive you can add all the episodes that reference that. And the psi-scan. The dimension cutter is a bit Dimension Jump like. The I’m going to eat you little fishy song from Future Echo’s, Cat’s early entrances and exits from early series. Was his coat the one from Marooned? Russian accent hologram very like Holo-ship. April 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm #96441 RicheyParticipant > What is the meow for? A reference to the opening shot of every Coronation Street episode, I believe. I guess they could have had The Cat go ‘Yeeeoooww!’ instead, but I’m glad they didn’t :P April 13, 2009 at 10:05 pm #96442 JonsmadParticipant >Milk. ? We’re on the cat’s milk? April 13, 2009 at 10:12 pm #96448 MnoooahParticipant > We?re on the cat?s milk? No, we ran- oh wait, yeah we are. April 13, 2009 at 11:08 pm #96467 Tarka DalParticipant Beyond all the quotes and visual touches an awful lot of the dialogue at times appeared to skate very close to previous lines. I’m far too tired to pick out examples right now, but I noticed a lot of the Rimmer & Katerina stuff to me echoed earlier episodes. Oh another one – Cat interrupting an emotional scene (at the grave) was a retread of the Obs. Dome scene from Better than Life. April 13, 2009 at 11:11 pm #96469 siParticipant I’m sure it must have been mentioned elsewhere, but Rimmer’s belt disappeared on Coronation Street. April 13, 2009 at 11:12 pm #96470 Tarka DalParticipant ALIENS! April 13, 2009 at 11:19 pm #96474 JamesTCParticipant You think anything weird is aliens, your belt goes missing, “its aliens”, a picture isn’t level on the wall, “its aliens”. That time we used a whole bog roll in a day and I had to dry my arse on a hand dryer, you thought that was aliens as well. April 13, 2009 at 11:42 pm #96488 siParticipant *applause* April 13, 2009 at 11:49 pm #96491 MuzzyParticipant Was thinking, surely Rimmer should have wanted a sitcom in a leisure centre rather than a biscuit factory… :P April 13, 2009 at 11:52 pm #96494 Tarka DalParticipant See I was thinking something about an ex-footballer. April 14, 2009 at 12:01 am #96497 DessieParticipant Does anyone else think the portal to the alternate dimension looks a bit like a squid as it opens?
