Red Dwarf Remastered Credits

[Jawscvmcdia]

Why do they occasionally credit Robert Llewellyn as ‘Rob Llewellyn’ in some of the remastered episode credits? I’ve never seen them do that outside of the remastered and it just looks careless.

Yeah, there are plenty of complaints that people have that I don’t mind, partially out of having only seen the originals once, many, many years before I owned the Remastered, so them effectively feeling like new Dwarf to me. I don’t mind malfunctioning Rimmer in Queeg (took ages to get used to it not being there when I bought the DVD), and there are (very occasional) things that I think improve it – I prefer Cat’s music, I like the music when Lister is fixing the drive computer in Future Echoes, and ‘Yes God’ is a funny line that fills an awkward space at the end of The End.

Most of it is still shit, though.

I’d like to thank Remastered. Up until then I was spending a stupid amount of money on buying every crap bit of Red Dwarf merchandise on the shelves. Then they released Remastered, I bought 3 of the videos and then I thought “aw fuck this”.

[GlenTokyo]

It was really expensive wasn’t it? I can’t remember exactly how much but I just remember being pissed off at how much it was everytime a new one came out.

Presumbaly the BBC had to make back the money they spent remastering it to make it worth it.

Or they are just greedy, made their money back and wanted abit extra for a new car or 10.

i always got the feeling alot of the remastering was done because if the show didn’t look remastered or different enough then no one would buy it… and i own 4 of the remastered VHS tapes so it kinda worked :P

>I like the music when Lister is fixing the drive computer in Future Echoes.

Bit too melodramatic for me. I think the official scene builds the tension absolutely perfectly, and you feel genuinely uncomfortable and on the edge of your seat more and more before the climax. Then we get “dog attack!” which is fucking weird and not funny and probably one of the worst “jokes” ever.

“Yes, God?” is funny.

Just seems unlikely than the engine intake would be half as long as the ship, fictional spaceship or not.

Based on what?

If the intake of hydrogen is the fuel source for the ship, seems to me you’d want the ramscoop as big as you can possibly build it.

Interstellar ramjet concepts that actually exist that I’ve seen, you need the biggest diameter but the length doesn’t seem to matter. It’s more likely to be sort of flat dish shape not a long cone. You can shorten the length and still have the same diameter, just a waste of materials innit.

[GlenTokyo]

Plus it’s a TV show. So in my opinion it’d improve the aesthetics and make it closer to the OG ship, but everykne has different opinions of the current ship.

[flanl3]

I mean wouldn’t the atoms slide in more easily down a cone than a dish

[flanl3]

Why don’t they take all the confiscated speaking slide rules and eject those as fuel that’ll keep them moving for another twenty years

[flanl3]

In fact they should just burn all the witches, that’ll show ’em not to rub superglue on my leg hairs

[flanl3]

And therefore Red Dwarf needs a massive scoop

[GlenTokyo]

What about the modems?

[bloodteller]

wouldn’t it be extremely difficult to smuggle a modem into an exam?

also surely todhunter would hear if someone got out a speaking slide rule, so it’d be completely pointless to bring those in too

[International Debris]

What the fuck was Todhunter’s job, anyway? For someone seemingly high up he had some shit tasks. Going through a dead bloke’s artefacts, being an exam invigilator. Boring.

[GlenTokyo]

Second officer which seems to be Human Resources and personal assistant to the Captain in Red Dwarf.

[bloodteller]

i wonder what he was up to during Series 8? for someone who’s basically the captain’s second in command, it’s odd that he doesn’t even get a mention

[flanl3]

Also, where can I find the HR department in a prison?

[Moonlight]

What the fuck was Todhunter’s job, anyway?

Being gay?

[Ben Saunders]

Being gay is a full time occupation.

He never did catch Tod.

[Dave]

Probably filming Cold Feet.

He was married so it was too difficult to write him into a sex-based storyline.
