So I guess late 1993. March 2, 2018 at 7:08 am in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228741 DaveParticipant “You are over one man”. It’s pretty clear. March 1, 2018 at 6:33 pm in reply to: The Blu-ray Awakens #228717 DaveParticipant Slippery slope, though. March 1, 2018 at 2:50 pm in reply to: The Blu-ray Awakens #228714 DaveParticipant I would hope that they would ‘fix’ as little as possible. The effects techniques, whether good or bad, are part of what the show is. March 1, 2018 at 1:50 pm in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228710 DaveParticipant Presumably it’s a ranking thing if you can become a Technician 2.5. March 1, 2018 at 12:58 pm in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228704 DaveParticipant (in response to the First Technician question.) March 1, 2018 at 12:57 pm in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228703 DaveParticipant One of the four service robots. Maybe the one that’s gone absolutely mad. March 1, 2018 at 12:44 pm in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228700 DaveParticipant Was he senile before the accident? He is in that alternative universe which barely counts I was only talking about the alternate universe. It seems to be one in which pre-accident Holly is as deranged as the three-million-years-later version from the main universe. In that reality, the accident was probably Holly’s fault. March 1, 2018 at 11:59 am in reply to: The Blu-ray Awakens #228694 DaveParticipant Great to hear. Looking forward to seeing how it looks. March 1, 2018 at 9:48 am in reply to: What would you expect of Red Dwarf XIII? #228690 DaveParticipant Not so impressive when you’ve already met Hitler. And a droid Hitler. March 1, 2018 at 7:55 am in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228688 DaveParticipant Pray, what do you call it? March 1, 2018 at 7:02 am in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228686 DaveParticipant As much as it was weird seeing such an aged-looking Holly in Skipper, the look is actually quite fitting for an old senile computer. Although I do think it was weird that he was senile and broken before the accident even happened, rather than 3 million years later. February 28, 2018 at 9:48 pm in reply to: Skipper (lost opportunity) #228672 DaveParticipant It does make you wonder how much money Steptoe & Son wasted on all those black and white costumes and makeup and all those grey sets just to achieve such a specific effect. February 28, 2018 at 4:56 pm in reply to: When did Red Dwarf jump the shark? #228653 DaveParticipant The joke, there. February 28, 2018 at 2:06 pm in reply to: The Blu-ray Awakens #228644 DaveParticipant The low-res filming of 28 Days Later was a deliberate stylistic choice that I thought worked quite well. February 28, 2018 at 2:04 pm in reply to: Misheard lines #228643 DaveParticipant Goldfish shites nibbling at my tights? February 28, 2018 at 2:03 pm in reply to: When did Red Dwarf jump the shark? #228642 DaveParticipant There was a decent Doctor Who episode with dinosaurs on a spaceship. Can’t remember what it was called. I remember it was an Eleventh Doctor episode with a lead role for Matt Smith. If it had been a Twelfth Doctor episode it would have featured a Pete part, too. February 28, 2018 at 7:00 am in reply to: The Blu-ray Awakens #228625 DaveParticipant why are they releasing it all on Blu-Ray anyway? what’s the market for that? Presumably it has been a very strong seller on DVD in all its various forms over the years, and this is the logical next variation. February 27, 2018 at 7:56 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228596 DaveParticipant What’s that poem? February 27, 2018 at 2:24 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228589 DaveParticipant RIMMERWORD When Rimmer travels back in time and accidentally destroys Doctor Johnson’s dictionary manuscript, the race is on for him to remember every single word in the English language in alphabetical order and recreate the document by the next morning. February 27, 2018 at 12:41 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228581 DaveParticipant WAITING FOR GOLD Rimmer becomes obsessed with alchemy and grows increasingly convinced that he can transmute base metals into gold. However, the closest he gets is synthesising a nugget of purest ‘green’, made from one of his old series III-IV outfits. Well, less of a nugget and more of a splat. A splat today, but tomorrow, who knows, or dares to dream…? February 27, 2018 at 10:35 am in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228577 DaveParticipant I THE SMEG AM LISTER The smeg he was. February 27, 2018 at 9:46 am in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228571 DaveParticipant THE SMEG IT ISN’T No. February 27, 2018 at 6:59 am in reply to: What would you expect of Red Dwarf XIII? #228565 DaveParticipant Interesting how Skipper implies that mind backups for hologrammatic projection are performed manually, I always took this to be the case, probably because the first book describes it this way – there’s the whole bit with Petersen being drunk when he gets his done, meaning that if he ever came back as an hologram he’d have a horrendous hangover. February 27, 2018 at 6:53 am in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228564 DaveParticipant Do you know what it is about Lister that really makes me want to puke? February 26, 2018 at 10:16 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228534 DaveParticipant And you know *why* we can’t hear anything? February 26, 2018 at 9:44 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228525 DaveParticipant BACK TO BIRTH The crew spend too much time on backwards-Earth. February 26, 2018 at 8:06 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228518 DaveParticipant The hundred years’ war?! February 26, 2018 at 7:12 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228513 DaveParticipant Is that the alternate name for series XVII? February 26, 2018 at 7:10 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228512 DaveParticipant Where’s the Captain’s office? February 26, 2018 at 5:01 pm in reply to: Who would you have as the next guest star in Red Dwarf? #228501 DaveParticipant me The London Jets Juniors! The Service Droids! My Mother! February 26, 2018 at 3:53 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228499 DaveParticipant If you had two people coming for a job, and one of them was dead, which one would you pick? February 26, 2018 at 2:35 pm in reply to: Misheard lines #228496 DaveParticipant I imagine a full, glazed ham. February 26, 2018 at 11:52 am in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228484 DaveParticipant Gangrene? You think I might get gangrene? February 26, 2018 at 11:48 am in reply to: Who would you have as the next guest star in Red Dwarf? #228483 DaveParticipant Hattie Hayridge. February 26, 2018 at 10:36 am in reply to: Misheard lines #228479 DaveParticipant It’s one of those things I just never questioned. That someone might want a bit of ham with their homework. Which, now that I type it, seems obviously stupid. February 26, 2018 at 8:54 am in reply to: Misheard lines #228474 DaveParticipant Until I just looked it up, I genuinely thought Holly was asking Rimmer if he wanted “a ham with your homework”. February 26, 2018 at 8:53 am in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228473 DaveParticipant What do you want this time? A hand with your homework? Or do you want me to sew little nametags in your PE kit? February 25, 2018 at 8:38 pm in reply to: What would you expect of Red Dwarf XIII? #228453 DaveParticipant Can Rimmer take off his tunic, or would it require its own separate light bee? Did Ace Rimmer’s wig require its own separate light bee? February 25, 2018 at 8:26 pm in reply to: What would you expect of Red Dwarf XIII? #228448 DaveParticipant Why aren’t hardlight holograms just generated naked so that they can wear real clothes instead of holographic ones? Logically, hardlight Rimmer could wear anything he liked, even if it (gasp) wasn’t blue. February 25, 2018 at 7:47 am in reply to: Red Dwarf XIII: News, Holly, release date and everything you need to know #228411 DaveParticipant Actual date: SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE February 24, 2018 at 9:08 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228402 DaveParticipant Whoever heard of a wormskin rug? February 24, 2018 at 6:27 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228398 DaveParticipant Have you been at the Marijuana Gin again? February 24, 2018 at 2:44 pm in reply to: Why has Red Dwarf from a production point of view always ran into problems? #228389 DaveParticipant I agree – I’m sure if you looked into most shows you would find stories of difficulties behind-the-scenes. We’re just (naturally) a lot more familiar with this show, and the extensive documentaries about it are always going to focus on the most dramatic angle on the production. February 23, 2018 at 11:08 pm in reply to: When did Red Dwarf jump the shark? #228376 DaveParticipant ‘Saison’ means season, not series. February 23, 2018 at 9:06 pm in reply to: Did Lister ever find out what an iguana is? #228366 DaveParticipant She was great, and I thought she was… What? February 23, 2018 at 9:04 pm in reply to: When did Red Dwarf jump the shark? #228365 DaveParticipant I might have known that. Not about your uncle, the other part. February 23, 2018 at 7:39 pm in reply to: When did Red Dwarf jump the shark? #228356 DaveParticipant So why is it called Series 9? February 23, 2018 at 7:31 pm in reply to: Idea for an episode. #228354 DaveParticipant SHARKMENTION JUMP Red Dwarf ‘jumps the shark’ in an episode in which shark-Rimmer (from a universe in which everyone is a sea creature) uses the Holly-Hop-Quantum-Skipper-Wildfire to travel to another dimension and meet our Rimmer. Our Rimmer immediately becomes insanely jealous at meeting another version of himself who got to be a fish. February 23, 2018 at 7:26 pm in reply to: When did Red Dwarf jump the shark? #228353 DaveParticipant Revealing that the entire Red Dwarf premise was a TV show in Back to Earth was jumping the shark, then revealing that it actually wasn’t was jumping the shark twice in one episode.
