    Basically post little things you noticed in the episodes that made you smile.

    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”

    Said it before, but- the price smashers bunkroom.

    I highly recommend looking at the TV in background of the Price Smashes bunkroom…

    Mel Bibby’s picture at the gravestone.

    Didn’t make me smile but it was Hell of a nice thing to do.

    RIP

    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”?

    I think you?d have to forgive that of an anthropomorphic plant…

    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…

    Do tell? I can’t spot anything about them…

    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.

    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.

    Lister was also preparing to take it with him through the portal.

    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)…

    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?

    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!

    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.

    Yes, I think you’ve proved conclusively that BTE is to Red Dwarf what Die Another Day was to Bond.

    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.

    Milk.

    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.

    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

    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.

    I’m sure it must have been mentioned elsewhere, but Rimmer’s belt disappeared on Coronation Street.

    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.

    Does anyone else think the portal to the alternate dimension looks a bit like a squid as it opens?
