May 13, 2022 at 6:14 am #273614 WarbodogParticipant I thought the reddy-pink might be Vlad the Impaler from Cured, then it was mainly random guessing until it went green. May 13, 2022 at 6:20 am #273615 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant #RedDwarf #Smegle 13/05/2022 β¬π© Well Iβve only seen that episode 3 times but once I realised what the table was its really the only episode it could be I think, as I donβt think you really see the crew sat around the mid section table that much, if at all, other than in Timewave. First thought was Trojan, given itβs clearly Rimmer with a sheet of paper at a table. I thought it was the hey ho pip and dandy moment. oh and first time I immediately sat the aspect ratio and took it into account. May 13, 2022 at 6:32 am #273616 DaveParticipant Took me four today, just couldn’t put my finger on it until the penny dropped. May 13, 2022 at 7:17 am #273621 Flap JackParticipant Was your Guess 4 from Series XI? Don’t feel too bad, I very nearly guessed Samsara second after getting the right series to start with. The 2 series are just too jumbled together in my mind. (If it wasn’t Series XI then you’re on your own, sorry.) May 13, 2022 at 7:36 am #273622 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant When it comes to XI and XII I do sometimes have to do a quick IMDB search to check which episodes are in which series May 13, 2022 at 7:50 am #273623 DaveParticipant Was your Guess 4 from Series XI? Donβt feel too bad, I very nearly guessed Samsara second after getting the right series to start with. The 2 series are just too jumbled together in my mind. (If it wasnβt Series XI then youβre on your own, sorry.) No, I exhausted Series XI, X and TPL in that order and only got Timewave on the fourth guess once I knew it was a XII episode. I have the same difficulty with XI/XII though. May 13, 2022 at 7:56 am #273624 UnrumbleParticipant once I realised what the table was its really the only episode it could be I think, as I donβt think you really see the crew sat around the mid section table that much, if at all, other than in Timewave. Yep, all about that table π 13/05/2022 π© May 13, 2022 at 7:58 am #273625 WarbodogParticipant The reality was more of an XI-A & XI-B with a (brief by today’s standards) broadcast gap, but that would confuse the otherwise meticulous numbering of the Dave era. May 13, 2022 at 8:10 am #273626 Flap JackParticipant Oh whoops, I didn’t realise we’d got onto another page, so my Series XI question was actually meant for clem, hence why I asked which wrong series Guess 4 was, after Dave said he got the correct answer on Guess 4. Oh, the irony of me responding to someone calling themselves an idiot with idiocy. Luckily I am interested in Dave’s thought process too, though! May 13, 2022 at 8:27 am #273628 DaveParticipant Oh right. I did wonder! May 13, 2022 at 10:13 am #273637 Jonathan CappsKeymaster The pattern of shame. May 13, 2022 at 10:25 am #273638 International DebrisParticipant β¬π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨ Great. May 13, 2022 at 11:08 am #273640 clemParticipant First four guesses were Dear Dave, Give & Take, Mechocracy, Officer Rimmer. Glad I’m not the only one who gets XI and XII mixed up! May 13, 2022 at 11:17 am #273641 Ian SymesKeymaster So having identified the correct series immediately, it took me the longest possible time to get the episode. May 13, 2022 at 1:53 pm #273645 RunawayTrainParticipant I also still have to resort to Google to check which eps are in which series for XI and XII. I keep thinking ‘time for a rewatch’ but if I watch them both one after the other that’s still not going to help sort them out. Hmm. May 13, 2022 at 3:30 pm #273649 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant So having identified the correct series immediately, it took me the longest possible time to get the episode. Is it just wishful thinking that Timewave doesn’t exist? May 13, 2022 at 4:43 pm #273651 JenuallParticipant I think there’s zero shame in struggling to identify Timewave! May 14, 2022 at 4:27 am #273680 WarbodogParticipant May 14, 2022 at 6:07 am #273681 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant #RedDwarf #Smegle 14/05/2022 π© This is an absolute classic case of donβt second guess yourself. My immediate reaction was the right answer, but I spent several minutes thinking through numerous other options and humming and harring until I just went for what my gut originally told me. May 14, 2022 at 6:55 am #273682 UnrumbleParticipant 14/05/2022 β¬π© First guess was Siliconia. I thought it might be one of the MILFs stood in that room where they spend a large amount of the episode May 14, 2022 at 7:14 am #273683 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Siliconia is one of the episodes I thought it might be too, but I felt Lemons had more brown in it. May 14, 2022 at 7:31 am #273685 WarbodogParticipant May 14, 2022 at 8:00 am #273686 DaveParticipant Got this one in three but feel like it should have been less. May 14, 2022 at 11:37 am #273687 Flap JackParticipant Aww yeah, got it in 1. May 14, 2022 at 12:04 pm #273690 RunawayTrainParticipant 14/05/2022 β¬β¬π© β¦ and I’ve *just* realised my first two guesses were from the same series π€¦π€¦π€¦ Oh well. May 14, 2022 at 4:22 pm #273694 clemParticipant π© May 15, 2022 at 12:05 am #273699 UnrumbleParticipant 15/05/2022 β¬π© That coat, that lighting May 15, 2022 at 12:07 am #273700 Flap JackParticipant 15/05/2022 3/6 π¨π¨π© Solid. Sure, I may not have got it straight away, but I did avoid falling into the obvious trap. May 15, 2022 at 12:34 am #273702 WarbodogParticipant I ended up with two possibilities for the last guess. I went with the vague sense of antagonism and possibly looking wet, but I was tense. May 15, 2022 at 12:51 am #273703 clemParticipant β¬π¨π¨π© The episode that ended my first streak, but not this time! May 15, 2022 at 3:01 am #273704 RunawayTrainParticipant 15/05/2022 β¬β¬β¬π¨π¨π© Guess 5 was actually my first thought, should have gone with it and saved a few guesses π I don’t actually know which scene it ended up being though! And I’m not curious enough to make myself rewatch just to find out. May 15, 2022 at 8:43 am #273705 DaveParticipant Got the right series straight away but didn’t get the episode until guess four, that coat helped it fall into place May 15, 2022 at 8:43 am #273706 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant #RedDwarf #Smegle 15/05/2022 β¬π© The squares were far too blue for what was actually revealed. But as Unrumble said, that coat and that lighting could have only really been one episode. May 15, 2022 at 10:28 am #273707 International DebrisParticipant It’s definitely XI! No, it must be XII then! Ah, The Promised Land. Oh ffs. Still forgetting the aspect ratio rule, apparently. May 15, 2022 at 12:10 pm #273709 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant I really feel like the aspect ration is a bit of a cheat. Now I know to look out for it it immediately helps narrow things down. And not just to an era, but when you know the era you can eliminate other things quite quickly. I kinda wish I didnβt know about it. May 15, 2022 at 1:09 pm #273710 Jonathan CappsKeymaster I really feel like the aspect ration is a bit of a cheat. Now I know to look out for it it immediately helps narrow things down. And not just to an era, but when you know the era you can eliminate other things quite quickly. I kinda wish I didnβt know about it. So you’re saying I should crop them all to 4:3? May 15, 2022 at 2:39 pm #273711 Flap JackParticipant I really feel like the aspect ration is a bit of a cheat.

I kinda wish I didnβt know about it. So youβre saying I should crop them all to 4:3? Although I can’t speak from the perspective of someone who didn’t twig the aspect ratio differences to begin with, I still disagree that being able to distinguish Dave from BBC that way is too easy. It’s just the nature of the source material. (And Quinn being too naturally talented at the game. ) Fair chance you’re not being serious about the cropping idea anyway, but I don’t want to risk it! May 15, 2022 at 2:57 pm #273712 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant No don’t crop it. Just go back in time and set the standard of TV production at 16:9 from as early as 1987 May 15, 2022 at 4:06 pm #273715 Jonathan CappsKeymaster So I’m hearing a lot of votes for cropping. May 15, 2022 at 4:22 pm #273717 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Make a second tier of difficult where it selects the frame, then randomly crops to 1 section of the frame and then blurs it out. Then you’d have ubiquity across both eras May 15, 2022 at 4:32 pm #273718 RunawayTrainParticipant I want to say ‘makes no difference to me’ but I can’t help worrying that by cropping, we might lose distinctive bits at the edges of the wider frames. Although, it’s not as if I’m any good at this game anyway, so I probably wouldn’t even notice in all honesty! May 15, 2022 at 4:44 pm #273719 Flap JackParticipant If you absolutely had to make the aspect ratios uniform, then I would vote for letterboxing over cropping. Thankfully you don’t absolutely have to. π May 15, 2022 at 4:52 pm #273720 clemParticipant Jumble up all the squares and only give us 4 guesses. May 15, 2022 at 5:46 pm #273721 DaveParticipant Have an option where you can choose either original aspect ratio or cropped. May 16, 2022 at 1:14 am #273730 clemParticipant β¬β¬π¨π¨π© For some reason I didn’t think Cat’s hair looked quite like that in V. May 16, 2022 at 4:37 am #273731 WarbodogParticipant Another tense one. I could only eliminate a couple of options by the end based on Cat outfits, but wasn’t sure. I mainly went for this one on the assumption that he changed outfits when Rimmer did. I clearly don’t know my Kryten tummies. May 16, 2022 at 5:30 am #273732 WarbodogParticipant Oh yeah, of course he’s wearing that in the inquisition scene. I could only remember the less generic red suit from later in the ep. May 16, 2022 at 6:22 am #273733 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant #RedDwarf #Smegle 16/05/2022 π© I thought it was a different scene but definitely not going to complain. May 16, 2022 at 7:29 am #273735 DaveParticipant Got it in three today, after thinking it was two other very ‘red’ scenes.
