I might of mentioned this before, but I cant find It.

Can anyone remember when Red Dwarf has been shown on BBC One?

I can think of once.

Really?!

I think it was BBC Two…

[thomasaevans]

Andrew…me being the sad bastard that I am… I have the recording of it with the BBC One Balloons ident. Somewhere :S

[Andrew]

That’s…odd.

Now that *is* interesting! Have you got the equipment there to do a capture of it if you ever come across it, Thomas?

I recall some discussions elsewhere on the site – I think one episode of the original run of the show was time-and-channel-shifted in Scotland, so there’s at least one more episode there. Someone on here had a recording of it, but I can’t remember any more details…

John my man Im on the case. Watch this space!

[John Hoare]

Excellent.

Red Dwarf skipped to BBC One twice during it’s repeat run in 1994, but only in Scotland. Yes sir (I can boogie) and it was me. I do have the eps on VHS, but A) I can’t be sure I’ve got the cuntinuity and B) they’ve been kept in cardboard boxes, in a shed, in the north coast of Scotland for the last two winters. When I do eventually recover them the chances are they will be damaged and useless. Of course this wouldn’t have happened if we’d all stuck to Betamax.

Ah. Scotland. Makes sense.

Scotland doesn’t make sence.

My work here is done B-)

[Jonathan Capps]

Did Betamax come with special winter jackets, or something?

[mick]

I could sit here and type a long explanation as to why the magnetic tape used in Betamax cassettes is less effected by heat, cold and general ageing, fortunately I need to go for a shit.

[Tarka Dal]

VHS was lower quality. VHS was cheaper. VHS was Badong.

My favourite version of Return of the Jedi is a Betamax copy of the movie premiere taped off Anglia in 1989 (I think). Somehow without Kylie jumping around in a pair of cowboy chaps and Griff Rhys Jones putting a pair of glasses to his eyes and saying “Ooooooooonly meeeeeee” just after the Rancor sequence it doesn’t feel the same.

No no. It was “This could be your lucky DAY!!!”

[Tarka Dal]

Yes! You’re right. I was confusing my inflections.

[Danny Stephenson]

That could be painful…

[Tarka Dal]

I see your point.

[Danny Stephenson]

Why, have my trousers fallen down? No, they’re up, I can see they’re up… Oh! I see your point…

[Tarka Dal]

No, they?re up, I can see they?re up?
Oh! I see your point!

OH KARL, WHAT HAVE YOU STARTED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!

[Tarka Dal]

I started a joke. Which started the whole world crying.
