I’d much prefer a Mugs Murphy t-shirt to a London Jets one.

My first episode was Parallel Universe. I reckon it must have been the 1994 repeats. I think I only saw from when Dave Lister wakes up with Deb Lister, so I can’t possibly have had a clue what the hell was meant to be going on. IIRC, the next episode was shown a week or maybe two weeks later, and of course it looked vastly different than Parallel Universe. I wonder now how on Earth I ever became a fan, because I must have been really confused, and yet I was hooked pretty much straight away.

I was four days away from being five, and about six years away from discovering Red Dwarf. Anyone here see the original broadcast of The End?

That is brilliant.

I can’t hear or read Fenella Fielding’s name without imagining her as the voice of The Time Vagina in a fictional Carry On film from the TV Go Home book.

Apparently they did write a fourth series of Bottom but it was turned down by the BBC. It was “rejected by some lesbian bitch” according to Rik Mayall.

> Isn?t it strange that Brookside (R.I.P.) and Emmerdale Farm were represented, but EastEnders and Corrie weren?t?

That does seem odd. ‘Emmerdale Farm’ had already been shortened to just ‘Emmerdale’ by then. 1989 apparently. Bloody hell I feel old now, because I can remember it still being ‘Emmerdale Farm’

Good old Rob McElwee really going for it with his air guitar at 3:45 there. And Trev and Simon as the Rogers brothers! Pop pop!

Hattie. Or Gordon Salkilld if she wasn’t available/interested, and he wasn’t dead.

We might get the TOO WEIRD FOR WORDS poster as seen in part 2.

> A london jets or a mugs murphy t-shirt needs to be made. Somehow.

Yes. I would absolutely love a Mugs Murphy t-shirt.

Do people want the DVD cover art to look like it did in Back to Earth? Looked a bit dull to me, to be honest. Would something similar to the 8 series DVDs be inappropriate? Lister painting the Rovers Return?

Norm’s a cunttt.

“… if we get a kickin’, it’s only out of spite, really, ’cause it’s good. What we’re doing’s good.”

That’s given me goose bumps, that has. Craig really, REALLY means that, in a quietly confident way, doesn’t he?

[clem]

Saw the cover of TV & Satellite Week today when I was buying the Reverend Timms. I love that photo. Craig’s hands are lush.

2 Rimmers? And a strange man with large teeth.

[clem]

> ?Twenty grand teeth. That?s weird. So where was I??

I can’t get this either. Somebody explain please.

[clem]

Well, it probably is Dave ja vu. It sounds like it.

“In 1978, Jim Davis began a newspaper comic strip called “Garfield”. For almost thirty years, this strip has endured, primarily because its inoffensive, storyless humour is immediately accessible. It is, if not quite the Lowest Common Denominator of the comic world, at least as close to it as one can get without being obviously mediocre.
The comic changes dramatically when one removes the thought bubbles.
“Garfield” changes from being a comic about a sassy, corpulent feline, and becomes a compelling picture of a lonely, pathetic, delusional man who talks to his pets. Consider that Jon, according to Garfield canon, cannot hear his cat’s thoughts. This is the world as he sees it. This is his story.”
