Sounds like Red Dwarf.

[si]

It would appear that new digital releases of the series’ soundtracks’ are available for £16. By Soundtrack, one assumes this means not just the music, but all speech included, free of charge.

Can’t wait for the next episode of The Smegmazine Rack.

[Dave]

That’s a very different ‘zine.

[Ridley]

You’d think it would be “ranked among the 100 best [etc.]” as a turn of phrase (a process that will take 4000 years).

First airing in 1989

Excuse you, BBC. I know Series III gets recommended as a jumping on point, but this is taking it too far.

Also they misspelled “Llewellyn” at the last mention.

Also also, it’s weird to quote “Gazpacho!” when I think the only time that was exclaimed without “soup” is “Mr. Gazpacho!” so you think you’d leave the “Mr.”.

Anyway, interesting product! I wonder if they’ll add any extra narration / audio description to get across the visual elements (not that we wouldn’t remember what happens), or it’ll just be raw. Even if they don’t add anything, they could potentially edit out parts where nothing auditory is happening.

I was wondering too, does anyone have a viewable copy of this 2019 Empire list they mention? I can find one that was updated just last month, but according to the Wayback Machine the list has only existed at the same URL since 2024. That list put Red Dwarf at 90th instead of 80th – did the rest of TV get that much better in just 6 years, or did they just think The Promised Land was shit?

[Flap Jack]

Oh, and I just noticed the release date is November 20th. Come on guys, if you’re already that close just release on November 25th.

[Ian Symes]

Dear Christ, would somebody somewhere please employ someone who gives a shit, to double check the copy on these things.

[Ian Symes]

The half-arsedness of the copy has angered me sufficiently to make this front page, but I probably won’t have time until later, so try not to talk too much about it in the meantime.

[Ridley]

There’s always a thing. Whether it’s the wrong episode titles, gets burned in a fire or is Vindalunar. It’s one of the show’s best traditions.

[International Debris]

I’ve been waiting so long to relive “Marigold with blue?!” and now it’s finally happening! 

[Jonsmad]

I didnt get Marigold with blue at all, my wrong guess was kryen talking to kochanski in series VII. I might be going fan on a computer senile. I hope i can still type here in future. i used to know my stuff on red dwarf, I’ve spent too long watching other shows since 2020. 

[Ben Saunders]

Cat will have said it in Series 4, 5, 6 or maybe even 7 at a push, I imagine. I could easily look it up.

[Ben Saunders]

FUCK it’s Series 2. Marigolds are the yellow cleaning gloves. It appears to be a brand name rather than the name of the colour.

[Moonlight]

I’ve thought Marigold was a color for 20 years.

[Podey]

Marigold is a colour! 

[Moonlight]

I thought marigold wasn’t a color for an hour.

Marigold is a shade of yellow but The Cat was referring to Marigold, a brand of cleaning gloves which are a different shade of yellow

[sleepey]

I’m pretty sure it’s a reference to the 1938 Thomas Bentley film “Marigold” but there’s not enough detail on the Wikipedia page to make this lie plausible

[Flap Jack]

So you think maybe if they had been a different brand of cleaning gloves that were actually marigold the colour, he would have been OK with it?

Gloves like you and me would have significantly improved this.

Thank goodness you survived.
