Got it in one. I remember Doug going on a writers podcast shortly after and explaining why a continuity error wasn’t a continuity error.

[MANI506]

Got it in one

[MANI506]

Nice one Flap Jack. I’ll hunt around for the four movies and seasons 5-8 on DVD and then stream the rest!

[MANI506]

I’ve been doing a Simpsons run and I seem to be stuck around season 21 so I’m thinking of cracking out the Futurama DVDs. I have seasons 1-4 and I’m expecting some pretty decent extras. Is it worth getting season 5 onwards on DVD or is it best just to stream?

[MANI506]

[MANI506]

I think Unrumble and Joe knows what I’m talking about.

[MANI506]

I think those two images work together.

Obscene phone call gag in the Ouroboros trailer got me pumped for a voyage to Gag City

[MANI506]

Bravo!

[MANI506]

Where now for man raised by Puffins?

would love a big coffee table book just about the movie/wilderness years 1999-2009

[MANI506]

I got it wrong episode, wrong series four times. Then saw the character’s face and went ‘fuck’s sake’. Good game, good game.

[MANI506]

[MANI506]

I’m sure in a 1993 Smegazine Rob was on the record saying ‘I adore Duane Dibbley’ so I just took the nod in Titan as Rob having fun in an area he genuinely loves.

[MANI506]

Got it in one again. Definitely need to leave it a while before a full rewatch although I’m currently watching an American couple react to it for the first time on YouTube.

[MANI506]

I always like to have new things on the go, but a new thing from the 20th century is generally more appealing than an actually new thing (with the exception of board games that had their sweet spot in the early 21st). Titan is an anomaly.

Same. I’m getting into lots of new-to-me things from mostly the 20th century. Recently me and a friend made playlists for every year from 2008 to the present day. As soon as it hit 2016 I lost all interest and I think that’s across the board.

Back on topic, i rewatched the living shit out of X. Rinsed XI and XII plenty but not as much and have seen The Promised Land around ten times (the least of the Dave batches). Back To Earth probably level with XI and XII.

[MANI506]

Got it in one because of the colour but could never have guessed the characters.

[MANI506]

Wow – at least one of those Craig with cat photos is visible in the background. Incredible find.

[MANI506]

Fucks sake. Got it on go 5

[MANI506]

Any link for the Oxide Ghosts dates or are we too early?

[MANI506]

I’ve no idea but it’s gonna be a lot of fun finding out. I’m expecting it to be a familiar voice reading an unfamiliar story which will probably be a warm fuzzy weirdness 

[MANI506]

Great sketch with Mark Gattis somewhere in the extras.

[MANI506]

We had our first VHS machine in 1985 and I owned the straight to video Transformers movie The Return Of Optimus Prime. But yes it was mostly renting videos off a van that came around.

[MANI506]

Git Central.

[MANI506]

Now Kryten’s running amok!

[MANI506]

I said at the time but Mike Agnew’s interviews from the early series documentary literally influence the way I speak.

[MANI506]

As someone who was 17 and alive in the south of England at the start of 1998 I never heard AH as an abbreviation anywhere and thought it was fairly weak. Nice Harvesters joke although I love Harvesters and recommend the Bhaji Burger.

[MANI506]

There’s a great long running Paul Darrow bit on the Doctor Who podcast Wheezing Groaning Sound. The joke is that he always says the opposite of what he thinks you expect and then says ‘ha har’. It has had me in nice giggling fits.

[MANI506]

I think AIOTM gave us the phrase ‘cock juggling thunder cunt’

[MANI506]

I was at that one too! My only other one was Peter Baynham two years ago.

[MANI506]

I’ve folded the VHS and DVD compilations into my full run and watching the commentaries up to season 17. I expect once I get past the movie I’ll sail through as there’ll be no double/triple/quadruple (in the case of Simpsons Roasting On An Open Fire) dipping. The Springfield Files made me laugh so hard. Got to be one of the funniest episodes (the alien line up). Just two more season 9 episodes then on to season 10.

[MANI506]

The first Simpsons episode I thought was bad through and through was the Kid Rock Florida one so it’ll be interesting to see how I get on with that one this time around

[MANI506]

It does now!

[MANI506]

Having put off a full rewatch for years about four months ago I started at season one with the DVDs (I have seasons one to seventeen on the shelf) and I’m currently up to season nine (Simpson Tide). I originally fell off around season eleven and so far I’m having a blast. I’ll carry on to the end and then the plan is to watch all of Futurama on Disney Plus.

[MANI506]

The first time I really noticed was Robert’s side on shower shot at the start of Krytie TV.

[MANI506]

I also noticed that a Polaroid of Lister with the two babies is on the wall before the ship breaks light speed. I forget the scene.

[MANI506]

I just watched episodes 4-6 of series 1 remastered as part of my go through of the new box set and I think the editing choices are very good and make the shows better. That’s my unpopular opinion. I also noticed for the first time that Craig Charles corpses when Danny delivers the line ‘he won’t find that one. Not until he changes his boots’.

[MANI506]

I got the first two novels for my 12th birthday in 1992, Last Human for my 15th birthday in 1995 but was so unenthused by the concept of a novel called Backwards that I didn’t pick that up until later in the 90s. I only got the unabridged audiotapes last year from eBay.

[MANI506]

Yes, mine have MVC receipts from 1995 tucked in the sleeves. It was the second time I bought series 1-V as I’d traded them in for Smegazines the year before.

[MANI506]

The penny dropped that Chris Barrie is playing Uncle Frank. I used to think ‘who listens to all this Big Finish’ but last week I was in a hall full of Big Finish listeners at Time Lash IX convention.

[MANI506]

I think I got mine at Domension Jump 97

[MANI506]

I’ve been looking at the original programme guide and noticed that the entry for Marooned was on page 61.

[MANI506]

I resisted blu ray for years but it was a bit of intrigue for the Trial Of A Timelord Collection in 2019 that persuaded me to make the leap. In most cases DVDs are perfectly cromulant.

[MANI506]

Yes, exactly the same.

[MANI506]

Is it ‘Thanks For The Memories’ or ‘Thanks For The Memory’ on the Series II blu-ray menu? 

Thanks For The Memories. First thing I checked.

[MANI506]

I’m hoping to hear atmospheric titters from 2012 G&T staff in the rear speakers of X.

[MANI506]

I looked on the box and I gather that both series X and Promised Land are 5.1 with the rest being good ol’ stereo (or a version of).

[MANI506]

I have the box set and looking forward to getting stuck in. I suppose the big advantage of this set is it literally tells me where to slot in Bodysnatcher and Just The Smegs whereas in the past I’ve made gut decisions. Nothing will ever match the excitement of the initial DVD run (with it’s beautifully designed layouts and booklets).

[MANI506]

I’ve just started a stroll through the APU with KMKYWAP so I’ll rate the commentaries as I go
