Don’t watch The Curse of Fenric with Chelsea pensioner Sophie Aldred, though…

Re: Chapman.

Did Doug and Rob realise how sick Graham was when they booked him?

Did *anyone* realise that Chapman was dying or was it kept private?

Ken Morley

Ken Morley in Allo Allo: “The candle! It was a stick of dynamite! Is my head on the right way ’round?”

Von Klinkerhoffen: “Contact the Hospital! Fruitcake Ward!”

[By Jove its holmes]

I know that, unlike most series that are three decades on from their start, RD still has all its regulars alive but how many of the guest cast have died? Noel Coleman and Don Henderson are two.

Darth Vader at a Star Wars convention would be fun.

[By Jove its holmes]

The Tenth Doctor is a bit of a zany, wacky, insufferable know-it-all prick who cries all the time and won’t stop apologising or reminding you he killed his own people

You say that like it’s a BAD thing.

Kryten as Reagan would be like Quarantine: “My Fellow Americans, now I – WANT TO WIN INDEPENDENCE FOR THE SOUTH MOLDAVIAN PEOPLE!”

[By Jove its holmes]

Kryten finds his old Ronald Reagan mask from Backwards. Hits his head and thinks he *is* Reagan.

[By Jove its holmes]

the crew meet a character who is a rip off of famous serial killers like Jack the Ripper, Ed Gein, John Wayne Gacy etc.

[By Jove its holmes]

I was inspired by a post elsewhere about whether Michael J. Fox would get along with Marty McFly and Alex P. Keaton if they could meet. I somehow doubt David Tennant would get along with the Tenth Doctor.

[By Jove its holmes]

Well, I for one would ^love^ to see Seb P.’s take on playing Buford T. Justice and – oh? This *isn’t* the thread for disjointed ramblings?

Bugger…

[By Jove its holmes]

Maybe her condition is that Rimmer likes busty blondes but she showed herself to him as a flat chested brunette?

[By Jove its holmes]

The reason I’m asking is that both the Red Dwarf References List and the Plot Inconsistencies Project only go up to Series VII and i’d like to produce an updated version that includes VIII and the Dave era and I felt that i should get Annette’s permission.

“Mister Rimmer, you have as much right as anybody to win the the Nice Person of the Year Award. There’s only one thing against you, the fact that you’re a repulsive creep!”

“Nobody’s perfect!”

[By Jove its holmes]

it’s just the whole “repulsive creep” vibe JFK gives off in that quote. Mind you Paul McCartney sang at age 22 about a girl who was “only 17” (i,e. freshly at the age of consent)

[By Jove its holmes]

Can we have a re-edit of Tikka to Ride where L, K, R and C beat up JFK?

“She is still pretty young but starting to look like a looker nonetheless. i think she rather liked me and now I wouldn’t be surprised if she has a thing for me. The knee breeches are cut tight to show off my crotch at its best, and the uniform – worn by everyone but Dad at these Court functions – seems to have caught the polite eye of the young heir.”

22-year-old future President John F. Kennedy, writing in a letter in 1939 to his friend (and future U.S. Senator from Rhode Island Claiborne Pell), on his interaction with the <i>13-year-old</i> future Queen Elizabeth II at a royal function for diplomats hosted by King George VI that JFK attended (in traditional court dress) alongside his father, U.S. Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy.

Still makes you wonder how old Rimmer was when he photographed the girls at the nudist beach and why they didnt call the cops on him as a dirty pervert.

[By Jove its holmes]

Ian: But most people don’t refer to 18 and 19 year olds as “teenagers”, they call them “young adults”. That’s what gave me pause and wonder.

[By Jove its holmes]

RIMMER: “…if one of us had a photograph of a female-only naturist beach in Acapulco, full of bronzed, naked, uninhibited teenage temptresses, we could go there for a holiday?”

[By Jove its holmes]

I always thought that Lister could sing the 1997 Candle in the Wind about Rimmer: “You called out to our country, now you belong to Heaven – Shut up, Lister!”

[By Jove its holmes]

Well, we know from Timeslides that Rimmer evidently has a thing for underage teenage “temptresses” so is Lister/Caroline Carmen necro really implausible ;)

[By Jove its holmes]

With Keeping Up Appearances, i had this weird dream once where Hy calls herself Bouquet and someone grabs hold of her and shakes her going “You’ve got to f*ck it, Bucket, got to, f*ck it, Bucket!”

[By Jove its holmes]

ostrich parents are the worst. There’s a lot of complaints about fathers who try to restrict their daughters sex ed and their growing up but little talk of how a lot of mothers do it to.

[By Jove its holmes]

I think they edited Bottom so a noisy group couldn’t get some cheap headlines and their mugs on Sky News.

A number of tv shows that parodied, for example, Lady Di or Jill Dando, found themselves snipped later, too.

[By Jove its holmes]

Given my original question was intended to be about DW actors that have never been in RD, you didn’t need to take the mick out of it.

[By Jove its holmes]

With the two Lister polymorphs, why not have the two Osgoods feature in RD?

[By Jove its holmes]

If the allegations are true, Sir Jimmy doesn’t seem to have been that interested in pre-pubescent girls (or boys for that matter, so Gareth Jenkins was probably safe). Also the Jim’ll Fix It set – in front of a live audience of dozens if not hundreds – would have been an unlikely place for a predatory paedophile to operate.

Nevertheless, this hasn’t stopped certain people on Facebook demanding that the BBC should withdraw ‘The Two Doctors’ on DVD because it is “profiting from filth”.

[By Jove its holmes]

Some people should check their dictionary under libel and slander. Yes I have a Lily Nicksay avatar… which actually means i am a fan of both Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) and Boy Meets World (1993), both of which i grew up with.

[By Jove its holmes]

I think there’s a cafe in Dili, East Timor, poking fun at racist Westerners, that’s actually called the Herrow Mistah. This was reported a few years ago when Dili was teeming with fast talkers from the United Nations.

[By Jove its holmes]

some fan actually did <i>blackface</i>?! What’s next, a racist “Herrow Mistah!” vending machi – oh, wait…

[By Jove its holmes]

The Low Rimmer from Demons and Angela comes back and everyone admits he’s just a rip off of Tim Curry’s character from The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[By Jove its holmes]

Clayton Marks comes back as Elvis and sings “In the Ghetto” to a sobbing Lister.

[By Jove its holmes]

Not Clare Grogan. She and Craig Charles had zero chemistry, sexual or otherwise.

[By Jove its holmes]

How about Elvis as played by that guy from Meltdown as a character in a Lister-centric episode with flashbacks to Lister’s tragic childhood and the episode ending with Elvis singing “In the Ghetto” as a tribute to Lister?

[By Jove its holmes]

cutting the racism/sexism/smoking from things which could be watched by children… it’s not about pretending that those things never happened, it’s about not pretending that those things don’t matter.

[By Jove its holmes]

<i><b>The Good Life</i></b> has not stood the test of time. As noted upthread, referring to one of the actors that are now unfamiliar to or do not connect with, people under thirty, leaves the RD episode a dated 1980s period piece, rather than timeless. Saying that “it doesn’t matter” is about the same as saying “black and white shouldn’t matter to younger viewers” when it *does* matter.

[By Jove its holmes]

Rimmer – who treats women like garbage – wakes up to find out that the others have adjusted his hologrammatic settings so he looks just like this, clothes, accessories and all:

[By Jove its holmes]

I still think Tippex’ing Felicity Kendal was the right thing to do. Too parochial for an international mainstream audience.

[By Jove its holmes]

I’d love to see Young Amelia Pond’s parents shock when their Spanish maid takes Amelia out to get her “hairings” and Amelia returns with earrings.

[By Jove its holmes]

What, no “shake your titties for me” in the google search terms? That happened to one site i know of.

[By Jove its holmes]

Also isn’t calling Sebastian P. “Sebby” treating him like a child/patting him on the head?

[By Jove its holmes]

Farewell Matt Smith, Hello to our 12th Doctor.

[By Jove its holmes]

I couldn’t find the one of Carol Anne rolling her eyes so this will have to do

Nancy, you are the Rimmer of this thread
