As is green (Or ‘III’). Rimmer’s made of light, though, so green is primary for him. June 8, 2018 at 1:25 pm in reply to: Jokes you don't/didn't get #232667 Seb PatrickKeymaster I think you can take the Nirvanah line either way and it’s funny either way, but I definitely took it (given his past form) as over quickly but ready to go again soldier just as quickly. June 7, 2018 at 9:34 am in reply to: Jokes you don't/didn't get #232637 Seb PatrickKeymaster I’ve always interpreted that as them cutting it off, yes. June 4, 2018 at 1:20 pm in reply to: The Important Questions… #232523 Seb PatrickKeymaster For example, in Me2, Rimmer gives a two finger salute to the other Rimmer by casting a shadow on the screen. But, as Rimmer at the time was made of soft light, how is it possible for Rimmer to cast a shadow, not only here but at any point before Legion? The shadow is also a hologram? I mean, it’s not exactly a massive reach.

May 11, 2018 at 12:09 pm in reply to: Remembering Ayrton Senna #231366 Seb PatrickKeymaster If anybody knows anything about Formula One, they will know that the race in which Ayrton died in was pretty much cursed from start to finish. It wasn’t “cursed” though, it was the culmination of several factors including the removal of electronic driver aids (making cars harder to drive) and an emphasis at the time on vastly increased cornering speed without making comparable advancements in cockpit safety (because, with a couple of decades since the last fatality, it wasn’t seen as a necessary priority). It’s true that an ominous air hung over that weekend from the moment Barrichello had his crash, and that there were some unfortunate coincidences (not to mention little moments that add to the legend such as Senna’s conversation with Sid Watkins and the Austrian flag he had in the cockpit); but equally, there were other bad accidents in 1994 as well and it just so happened that several of them happened at once at Imola. That doesn’t mean it was “cursed”, just that that’s the moment everything came to a head. As for your video, I’m not entirely certain why footage of the accident itself and its grisly televised aftermath is much of a “tribute”, but maybe that’s just me.

February 21, 2018 at 10:02 pm in reply to: So what do you think we'll be getting for the 30th? #228181 Seb PatrickKeymaster Speaking of Timeslides, Graham Chapman would have been much better than Ruby Wax. I’m not certain of this. In general Graham Chapman is much better than Ruby Wax but I have a hard time imagining what that scene would have been like with him. So differently-written as to not really be comparable, I guess.

February 19, 2018 at 8:02 pm in reply to: Tikka To Ride Xtended #227972 Seb PatrickKeymaster Unless the curry is especially runny I often skip the rice and just have naan. If you like curry as much as Lister, the rice is really just a waste of stomach space. February 19, 2018 at 2:51 pm in reply to: So what do you think we'll be getting for the 30th? #227954 Seb PatrickKeymaster one of my favoured Red Dwarf fan theories is that the future versions of Lister from Future Echoes (and also the future versions of the crew from Stasis Leak) are from the same timeline as the future crew from Out Of Time Stasis Leak might work, but Future Echoes Lister isn’t a brain in a jar. February 17, 2018 at 6:31 pm in reply to: Doug WhatCulture interview #227858 Seb PatrickKeymaster Epideme and Nanarchy are unquestionably a two-parter. February 17, 2018 at 5:29 pm in reply to: It's Here Where Somewhere #227855 Seb PatrickKeymaster In the Re-Dwarf documentary you can see the Rimmer’s mum redub as one of the notes they show. It says something like replace with a more “well-spoken” voice, which she has in Dimension Jump. So I doubt they would have changed it there, I think they were just aiming for more consistency between the two versions.

Well yeah, but if you’re picking different numbers out of the air then every year is literally the [something] anniversary year of every series. But this year is the thirtieth anniversary of both series I and II, is what I meant.

February 16, 2018 at 1:38 pm in reply to: So what do you think we'll be getting for the 30th? #227767 Seb PatrickKeymaster >it’s so incredibly strange that we got nothing whatsoever in real terms The problem is that (unless you’re Doctor Who) it’s sometimes quite difficult to line things up for a specific date, particularly given how recent the RDXII cycle (and the focus on all of that) was. So there may still be Interesting Stuff to come, it’s just that we weren’t yet in a position to make a song and dance about it yesterday. As was the case in 2008, I think the attitude is very much to treat the whole of 2018 as the anniversary year, and 15th Feb as the start of it, not the be all and end all.

February 9, 2018 at 10:01 am in reply to: Mac McTorchwood #227464 Seb PatrickKeymaster Why is Fear Her called Fear Her though February 4, 2018 at 4:28 pm in reply to: Series VII Highlights #227220 Seb PatrickKeymaster It absolutely bothers me that shooting your past self both keeps you alive but destined not to become that person and kills your past self for good right then and there in the same episode. It’s taken me twenty years, but I’ve come up with a rationalisation for this: Lister is wrong. Lister thinks that they were brought back to life by virtue of being killed by their past selves, and that’s what he tells his camera recording. What he doesn’t know is that Rimmer destroyed the time drive and that that’s what caused the reset. February 4, 2018 at 4:25 pm in reply to: Series VII Highlights #227219 Seb PatrickKeymaster Have to say, I completely disagree on the gay panic idea. It’s not gay panic. It’s Rimmer panic. I think if you’ve never seen the show before then yes, it could come off as “This man is disgusted that he’s just imagined kissing another man”. But if you know anything about Lister and Rimmer and their pre-existing dynamic, then there’s surely nothing to it than “Oh my God, I just kissed Rimmer”. To be fair one of the points the episode was making was that Kennedy’s image became larger than life because of how he was assassinated, and how left to his own devices he would have left a far less flattering one. That is the whole reason he shot himself. Also, the person saying that Kennedy was “a fine man” is Rimmer. Who also idolises Napoleon Bonaparte. February 1, 2018 at 9:24 am in reply to: Series VII Highlights #227126 Seb PatrickKeymaster Never got the “Hello, wall!” line either, unless Doug’s intention was to characterise Kochanski as being as annoying and humourless as certain members who think their basic sledgehammer sarcasm counts as genuine wit. I like it as a Frank Grimes moment: it’s Kochanski reacting with utter exasperation at characters that we’ve got used to being dumb and funny. Yes, it’s a bit sledgehammery, but she’s basically been driven to it by that point. There aren’t many gags in any of the series that top “It’s an obscene phone call” for me, either. January 30, 2018 at 7:45 pm in reply to: Mac McTorchwood #227095 Seb PatrickKeymaster >Nation’s agent was very cunning to demand the rights to the Daleks remain with him. Mmm, not really, it’s standard practice for all characters created by freelance writers to have the rights owned by that writer – was always thus on the old show and continues to be so on the revived one. They have to get agreement from and pay them any time they want to use any of them. It’s just that the Nation Estate/Tim Hancock are the ones more likely to kick up a fuss, as they have the bargaining power of the fact that it’s the Daleks. RTD’s agent also represents a lot of the old writers’ estates, and she’s much nicer about it. January 30, 2018 at 1:36 pm in reply to: So what do you think we'll be getting for the 30th? #227079 Seb PatrickKeymaster it’s a really nice model, lots of detail and it looks good on my shelf. something like that for the Red Dwarf ship would be bloody lovely. Someone else, gussets, etc. January 30, 2018 at 1:35 pm in reply to: So what do you think we'll be getting for the 30th? #227078 Seb PatrickKeymaster If Ed Bye ever came to Dimension Jump, you can guarantee we’d get a new ident to play at the end of each DwarfCast. SYMES: So until next time, Ed Bye everybody! EVERYONE: Ed Bye! IDENT: Oh, fuck off, I’m not recording that for you. January 30, 2018 at 1:28 pm in reply to: Mastermind #227077 Seb PatrickKeymaster >Can someone please explain where this joke came from? Thanks Multiple tellings of an anecdote in various documentaries (first one I can recall is the A-Z but it may have turned up sooner somewhere). December 8, 2017 at 10:22 am in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225768 Seb PatrickKeymaster The Blackadder the Third Goes Back and Forth II December 4, 2017 at 11:10 pm in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225657 Seb PatrickKeymaster Indeed. If series 9 was truly a ‘lost’ series, then it would make sense of BtE not being 9, X coming along. There would actually be a joke in the numbering of the series, which is about as meta as it comes. This is the point, though, isn’t it? BTE contains dialogue that refers to a mythical series 9 that we haven’t seen and will never see. Then the show comes back for another series, and it’s not series 9, it’s series 10. That’s the joke. That’s absolutely the joke. I’ve always seen it as deliberate. December 4, 2017 at 11:08 pm in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225655 Seb PatrickKeymaster I might have been not being entirely serious about the Divine Comedy thing anyway. But yes, I figured when he did Victory that was the point at which he was finally acknowledging Fanfare as a thing rather than brushing it away. As for Weezer, they have made three great albums post-2002, so nyeh. December 4, 2017 at 8:49 pm in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225640 Seb PatrickKeymaster >If we’re taking word of the author, ‘Liberation’ is the first Divine Comedy album It is. Fanfare for the Common Muse is an album by a different band that also happens to be called The Divine Comedy and also happens to have Neil Hannon as one of its members. December 4, 2017 at 8:44 pm in reply to: Name that tat #225639 Seb PatrickKeymaster The door lock on the Series X bunkroom is a docking station for (I think) Dell laptops. December 2, 2017 at 9:13 am in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225547 Seb PatrickKeymaster If we’re taking word of the author, then Doug is adamant that BTE is not Series IX. So there. November 29, 2017 at 5:00 pm in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225456 Seb PatrickKeymaster Also it IS ‘1’ and ‘2’ because they never had an official title, as opposed to the proceeding series’ which were actually known as ‘Red Dwarf III’ etc. technically all of them are ‘3’ ‘4’ etc. but people use the numerals for III onwards cause it was the actual title. Wellllll only Series III uses “Red Dwarf III” onscreen – none of Series IV, V or VI do so. So is “Red Dwarf IV” any more correct than “Red Dwarf I”? Only if you give the Radio Times listing more authority than the onscreen title card. And even if you are going by the Radio Times argument, the “Red Dwarf [Numeral]” discussion is entirely separate from the “Series [Numeral]” discussion. I can understand doing this: Red Dwarf (series 1) Red Dwarf (series 2) Red Dwarf III Red Dwarf IV Red Dwarf V … etc … although I wouldn’t do it myself. But I can’t see any justifiable basis for this: Red Dwarf Series 1 Red Dwarf Series 2 Red Dwarf Series III Red Dwarf Series IV Red Dwarf Series V … etc … since, unless anyone wants to correct me, the first time “Series [Numeral]” was officially used to designate the series was on the DVD releases. And in that instance, they all used numerals. November 29, 2017 at 11:06 am in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225430 Seb PatrickKeymaster >i think there is a Series I and II, isn’t there? it’s on my shelf, im sure of it Basically, there’s a long-running G&T argument that the first two series aren’t referred to by Roman numerals, because that way of naming the show only came in with Series III. As such, they’ve always been pedantically referred to around here as “Series 1” and “Series 2”. I have never agreed with this, because Roman numerals have been used for the first two series ever since the VHS releases. And the DVD spines refer to them as “Series I” and “Series II”. Whereas I’ve never seen “Series 1” and “Series 2” used in any official context, anywhere. November 29, 2017 at 10:59 am in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225429 Seb PatrickKeymaster I’d have called the main pilot the feature and the promo the Bonus Feature, to get around that. November 29, 2017 at 7:36 am in reply to: Thoughts on the Series XII Flipside Cover? #225423 Seb PatrickKeymaster Why isn’t there technically a Series I and II? November 23, 2017 at 7:24 pm in reply to: Spotted two Red Dwarf related people at Liverpool Street in the last week #225156 Seb PatrickKeymaster I wonder how many people whistle Knock on Wood at Philip Labey on a daily basis? November 17, 2017 at 2:13 pm in reply to: Merry 10th to The Bodysnatcher Collection #224841 Seb PatrickKeymaster Yep, I-VIII were £19.99, Just The Smegs was £15.99. As great as the set was, £49.99 was as indefensible then as it is now. Conversely: Bodysnatcher Collection = 14 hours of content = 6p per minute Series I = 264 minutes of content = 13p per minute Just the Smegs = 100 minutes of content = 16p per minute “Indefensible”? I’d say it’s better value than any of the previous releases!

November 14, 2017 at 10:35 pm in reply to: TiMEWAVE reviews including one from 'the gay uk' #224620 Seb PatrickKeymaster Good-oh. And yes, for my part I appreciate now why the singular context of that review may have looked odd. It’s just honestly not something that would have occurred to me before, as the wider nature of the outlet didn’t even really seem notable to me in the context of reviewing Dwarf (although yes, I was aware that Dannii was the reviewer and that she’s a fan of the show generally). Are we all being reasonable and coming to an agreement, then? That’s weird. Where’s Better Dead Than Smeg when you need him?
