will red dwarf be in red dwarf ??

[NitroChrisUK]

do you think that red dwarf will appear in these specials or do you think it will be a series VI-VII starbug set.. just wonderd what people think seing as there would have to be alot more sets for red dwarf and as holly isnt involved ( well not normans anyway ) would it be quite difficult to see how the ship would function without him …which would you prefer for specials .. dwarf .. bug .. or both

[NitroChrisUK]

and i suppose you could argue which red dwarf would appear, the remasterd or a up to date version of the original,

[JamesTC]

If it does appear I assume it will be the Series VIII versiobn which was an updated version of the re-mastered ship. I would be happy if it was just Starbug though or even just Blue Midget.

[Mr Flibble]

Sorry. Has the entire world missed what is said on Bodysnatcher about the pencil Red Dwarf being the shape it was originally meant to be?

[JamesTC]

Wasn’t that in ‘Back in the Red’?

[Mr Flibble]

Possibly both. You get my point though.

[pfm]

Some kind of compromise between the pencil ship and the old ship would be good. Though I would take the pencil model, as seen in the brilliant unused model shot, over anything. Though I doubt we’ll ever see it again. I wonder if it’s in Doug’s garage or something…

If Holly’s not in this (unconfirmed, though Norman’s out, obviously) then there’s a good chance Red Dwarf won’t be appearing at all.

[JamesTC]

Holly might get corrupted by a weird space virus.

[Jo]

…ALIENS!

[Squeaky Gibson]

may they uploaded a new version of Windows and it corrupted his program.

[genericnerdyusername]

They probably installed Vista and can’t get Holly to work.

[NitroChrisUK]

plus last time we saw red dwarf it had 2 hollies the egg head one aswell..

perhaps the they will say that holly quit due to being a miserable sod and let the ship run on auto

[ChrisM]

>perhaps the they will say that holly quit due to being a miserable sod and let the ship run on auto

Heh. Holly is the auto.

Mind you starbug seemed to have two autos. Holly “Well, we say auto, but it’s bugsy ‘ere oo ‘as to do it…”*

And erm. bug’s auto auto….

[Ben Paddon]

I hope you’re intentionally misquoting there, Chris. That way we can make fun of you.

[ChrisM]

Yeah. That’s it. (Or poor memory cos I couldn’t be bothered replaying the scene to quote it exactly word for word. For auto read autopilot. For we=I) I’m sure you get the gist anyway…

[Ian Symes]

I want to hear Hattie Hayridge singing You Give A Little Love.

[ChrisM]

Ok, for the pedantic Percies (Paddons?*) of the thread:
“Auto-pilot engaged. Well, I say ‘aut-pilot’, it’s not really ‘auto-pilot’ is it? It’s muggins’ ‘ere who has to do it.!”

It might take me a while but I get there in the end.

*Just kidding.

[Jonathan Capps]

> *Just kidding.

You shouldn’t do this. Call everyone cunts, you’ll feel better for it.

[ChrisM]

>You shouldn?t do this. Call everyone cunts, you?ll feel better for it.

Heh. For a little while. Then I’d feel guilty.

[pfm]

Guilt don’t exist round these parts.

[Mr Flibble]

No-one likes guilt round here.

We want no guilt, no blame, no disapproval, no shame, fault, slur or attack, no chiding, no criticism, no diatribe, no recrimination and no opposition and DEFINITELY no smegging reprimand!

[Ridley]

How about http://www.ganymede.tv/files/downloads/wallpapers/art/dwarf-dead-800.jpg ?

[Dave]

Will guilt be in Red Dwarf?

[JamesTC]

Not if Kryten’s chip is taken out again.

I’ve been pondering this and I think that Red Dwarf will feature in the episodes, but only right at the very end. I think that after having made it back ‘home’ to Earth (in whatever form it takes), at the end of the second episode they’ll return to their real home, Red Dwarf. I don’t think we’ll see them back on the ship, I think the closing shot will be Starbug flying towards it. This way they can explain away Holly not being involved, but if they do end up making a new series or something they can easily bring the character back without any explanation.

I think that this would be a great end scene and it would be a tidy end to Red Dwarf as well as a good starting point for any new episodes. I could be and probably will be entirely wrong, but I like the idea of it :o)

[JamesTC]

Well I hope you are right, it would be a wonderful end like in the book ‘Backwards’ were they realise Red Dwarf is their real home.

[Jo]

My thoughts exactly! They could probably use this to explain Kochanski’s absence too if Doug wants to keep the character.

[JamesTC]

Well the main reason for Kochanski was for the Movie and I don’t think he has lost hope of that yet.

[NitroChrisUK]

>at the end of the second episode they?ll return to their real home, Red Dwarf. I don?t think we?ll see them back on the ship.

very good idea if it turned out like that i would be very pleased and as you said would easily explain the holly and even kochanski situations

even though robert said on youtube that there is talk of more after i hope there not covering up that this is in fact the LAST episodes and there goin to wrap it all up,i sure ope not

kakchriskak, I picture you making the same face as your avatar as you type your posts.

[NitroChrisUK]

>kakchriskak, I picture you making the same face as your avatar as you type your posts

you would be correct.

[ChrisM]

I actually wouldn’t mind a series set on Earth. (This depends a lot on how the specials play out, obviously.)Then again that would likely involve a serialized plot and whilst I usually like that, run-on episodes in Red Dwarf have a tendency to be weaker. (By run-on, I don’t mean the odd serial thread, like chasing Red Dwarf in series 6, more the multipart episodes like in series 8.) That being said there’s a first time for everything. It works elsewhere after all.
