P.S. Please, please, please, please. Stop.

[Pecospete666]

Since Jimboid said please !

I ran out of bandwith any, way have to wait a month!

[genericnerdyusername]

Isn’t it always whatever time of the month it is?

[genericnerdyusername]

I find it irritating how everywhere seems to be reporting that its the final series. So much so that I can’t be bothered finding a way to make it naturally crop up in the thread and thought I’d just jam it in here.

[Jimboid]

It isn’t. It’s the eighth series. PAY ATTENTION.

[genericnerdyusername]

But if seven, eight and BTE didn’t happen, doesn’t that make it series 7? I’M CONFUSED.

[ori-STUDFARM]

Unless he/she disliked VII and VIII and BtE is now the new VII

[genericnerdyusername]

Can’t we go back to laughing at Pecospete666? I preferred that bit.

[Jimboid]

I don’t like Series 7 or 8. I do like Back to Earth but not enough to think of it as Series 7.

My Series 7 is in fact the two Steptoe & Son Christmas specials. I have made DVD covers so that they fit into the rest of the set.

[genericnerdyusername]

Steptoe & Son’s just a shameless rip off of Sanford and Son, whatever that is.

[Jimboid]

I think it was the American remake of Cheers.

[genericnerdyusername]

Which, in turn, just pinched characters from Frasier.

[Pete Part Three]

It’s the fourth series…that you anticipate with a mixture of excitement and dread.

[ori-STUDFARM]

Wasn’t Frasier a spin off of Red Dwarf USA though?

[Jimboid]

You’re thinking of Come Back Mrs Noah.

[Ridley]

STOP WITH THE IMAGES!!!

I did wonder who would snap first.

[Ian Symes]

See, this was my concern with the whole vindalunar concept.

The unconventional payload has been selected in honour of the series Liverpudlian protagonist, Lister, whose characters fondness for vindaloo and lager formed the butt of most jokes.

MOST jokes?! It’s a myth that plays on people with only the vaguest of memories of the show, and it completely ignores 95% of what makes Red Dwarf brilliant.

[JamesTC]

Remember when Lister eat that vindaloo. Classic Lister.

[mick]

Should have gone to smegsavers.

[Ian Symes]

I was in an Indian restaurant the other day, and I saw a man eating a curry… and then he ordered a pint of lager! I just thought ‘that is SO Lister’.

[mick]

If only I had a pound for every time I’ve sat having a curry and a beer, and someone comes up and says “hey you’re that Blister bloke off The Red Dwarfs!”.

Robert Llewellyn, the show’s writer, has released the titles of the first six episodes, so mega-sci-fi geeks can get excited. They include ‘Trojan’, ‘Fathers and Suns’, ‘Lemons’ and ‘Entangled’.
“I could try and be all self deprecating and depressed because I don’t want to raise your hopes too much, but I just can’t do that,” says series writer Robert, “but I just can’t do that. Red Dwarf X is way better than I ever dared hope.

[Jonathan Capps]

That’s amazing. In the context of him being the writer, the quotes are amazing.

[Pete Part Three]

What a smug git.

[si]

As mistakes go, that is Beyond A Joke.

Nothing huge but, this was interesting: “”Brittas would have bought the whole green thing hook, line and sinker”. I imagine he and Bobby have a few ‘interesting’ chats.

[Ridley]

I suppose undoing the it-was-all-a-dream ending would be nice.

[pfm]

> I suppose undoing the it-was-all-a-dream ending would be nice.

Undoing series’ 6 & 7 would be more like it…;)

I think an Olympics-themed Brittas return would have worked brilliantly. Don’t tell me that at least 5 scenarios didn’t enter your head at the mere thought of that! Brittas and crew could somehow have been in charge of the Aquatics Centre, or maybe the whole of Olympic Park! Cameos from the likes of Lord Coe, Tom Daly and Ellie Simmonds. Maybe…..

Apologies if this was already posted elsewhere.

Honestly can’t tell if he likes it or not. Hey everyone, don’t the cast look old?

[HelloMabel]

I suspect that he secretly drooled over it but is trying to seem objective. Result: he mistook ‘being an ass’ for ‘writing an impartial review’. How did he get a job with Huff Post, I wonder? Their articles are usually quite good.

[Jonathan Capps]

The crew are dead, wiped out 3 million and 24 years ago by a radiation leak. The crew are dead (Dave) – they’re all dead Dave. Dave, they’re dead. Oh wait, no they’re just really really really old!

Lets face it the last British sci-fi sitcom to launch from BBC mission control was ‘Hyperdrive’ which was more HALarious than hilarious.

This man is a professional writer.

[genericnerdyusername]

HALarious LOLZZZZZZZZ I C WOT HE DID DERE!

[Seb Patrick]

>This man is a professional writer.

To be fair, it’s the HuffPo, so he probably wasn’t getting paid.

[Jonathan Capps]

> To be fair, it’s the HuffPo, so he probably wasn’t getting paid.

This man wants to be a professional writer.

[HelloMabel]

Odd. In the American edition I’m quite sure they do get paid.

[Phil 4Q2B]

I personally loved series VIII with Pete part 1 being a personal highlight. I do however detest krytons mask in series III so I will be rebranding my series X DVD as series III.

[genericnerdyusername]

Oh I do love a bit of sarcasm.

There was a survey of the most popular funeral music requests: http://funeralcarenews.co-operative.coop/branch-news/funeral-survey-charts-the-demise-of-popular-hymns.html

The most popular TV theme tunes were:
Match of the Day
Pot Black
One Foot in the Grave
Last of the Summer Wine
Dr Who
The X Files
Red Dwarf
Top Gear
Six Feet Under
The Muppets Theme Tune – It’s Time to Face the Music

[Moonlight]

I not only requested the X-Files theme for my funeral, I asked all the guests to stab each other in the back of the neck with stilettos and clone my sister a few dozen times.

[Pecospete666]

I will be asking for “This is the End” by the Doors!

[Pecospete666]

What do the Irish know! Beer!

[genericnerdyusername]

Think it’s more a case of “what does Pat Stacey know?” rather than every single Irish person in existence.

[genericnerdyusername]

Besides, it’s not that bad a review.

[Pecospete666]

Well if you liked that one read this one

[genericnerdyusername]

>Red Dwarf can be very hit and miss, but series 9 seemed to have the best – Tikka to Ride was excellent and Blue, almost as good. Like their new sofa, though…

Best. Comment. Evaaaaaar.

But seriously, that’s not a review.

[NoFro]

Yep the Irish review wasn’t a bad review. Just ridiculous that people choose to focus on how different the cast look as if they shouldn’t have aged in 12 years. It’s especially annoying because the cast look great.

I went to the pub with a friend on Sunday and he’s a casual viewer of the show. Hasn’t seen BTE but has seen a fair few episodes through Dave and a mate he has who owns all the DVDs. Knowing that I’m a huge fan he mentioned that he caught Fathers & Suns and his first comment about it was how the cast looked exactly the same. He said a repeat that followed the new episode made him realise that they had changed a bit but whilst watching Fathers & Suns it didn’t even occur to him that they were all over a decade older. It was only a side-by-side comparison that made it apparent.

[Pete Tranter’s Sister]

It is quite odd how Kryten looks the most aged (at least the mask is improving episode by episode).

Timestamped at 12:05pm… give away the entire plot why don’t you?!
