>I absolutely hate in when a show continues and literally cancels all its earlier seasons simply by doing so.

To be fair The Brittas Empire kind of did that.

They fire a mining torpedo from Starbug in Officer Rimmer.

I had assumed these were abandoned but the price was updated just over a week ago. It has been at around £25 for a year before dropping to £20 on the 2nd of June according to CamelCamelCamel.

Most of the dreams tend to involve me not realising a new series is on and missing the start.

Before BTE was announced I had a dream Series IX was on and it was a direct continuation of Series VIII with them all in the prison garb.

Just before BTE aired I had one in which they crashed to earth on Starbug and Lister was stopped from eating some poisoned curry. Which sounds like a piss taking plot from one of the ideas for the new series threads.

Before Series X I had a dream the new series aired but it was now in black and white and there were no jokes and it was all set on earth. I remember thinking in the dream that it must get better soon.

They don’t need many miners because they all use voice operated mining equipment.

Kryten: Digital Versatile Discs, sir. DVD for short. They were really popular in the early part of the 21st century before they died out and were replaced with what we use now.
Lister: What? Nokia Rok Digital Video Chips?
Kryten: Precisely

Andrew Collins would only understand Red Dwarf if you watered it down until it was just water which had the memory of Red Dwarf in it.

Then he would say “it is mah favourite TV show” as he does.

[JamesTC]

They all become escort boots.

[JamesTC]

Lister eats a curry and Rimmer pulls a face.

[JamesTC]

Who is to say that the suicide in question is Daddy Rimmer’s? It could be that he caused somebody else to commit suicide.

Think of it this way, you could easily describe Rimmer’s day working with the Samaritans as “rather unfortunate suicide business”.

[JamesTC]

I do wish they could do a The End Original Assembly for Back in the Red and Pete. Use as much of the original material as possible (and if possible use none of the reshoots) to create the originally intended 60 minute and 30 minute version respectively.

[JamesTC]

This thread is shit so I’ll hijack it for something not worthy of its own thread.

I’m watching Crime Traveller for the first time right now and I noticed that the clock in the opening of the first episode represents a 4 as IIII rather than IV and thought why many clocks with Roman numerals do this. On thorough investigation I found nobody really knows why. I don’t like it.

[JamesTC]

Stop.

[JamesTC]

I have Prime until next Tuesday (got it half price for a year, hoping they do the same offer this year).

It did not arrive today. Which is a bit annoying. It is still saying as not dispatched.

[JamesTC]

I think my list was better.

Funny thing about that 8 million figure, it includes the repeat as that was common for BARB them days.

The series hovered around a very strong 6-7 million viewers for the next 5 episodes. Pete Part Two didn’t have a repeat and so had a base figure of around 4.5 million which we can assume most of the series had and extrapolate a rough 2 million figure for the Sunday repeat. That probably puts the actual first airing for Back in the Red Part 1 at 6 million viewers.

What is more interesting is that repeats of the Series 2 (in Remastered form) that aired in the lead up to Series VIII all achieved well over 3 million viewers. I think what we can take from this is that Red Dwarf was massive at the time and you can’t take the viewing figures as an indication of the quality of Series VIII because people tuned in consistently to a Remastered version of Series 2.

The way Red Dwarf was rating then is like what Mrs Brown’s Boys is doing now in terms of nearly doing as well in repeats as it does new episodes (taking into consideration that Dwarf aired on BBC Two instead of BBC One).

I do like Series VIII myself.

[JamesTC]

I can’t just get on the blower to Interfora, you know.

[JamesTC]

Hattie.

[JamesTC]

You’re clearly being a cunt on purpose, PTS. You’ve been given the benefit of the doubt before but clearly you are.

[JamesTC]

Queeg: He gets all his answers on astronomy, phenomenology and physics from a single website.
Rimmer: What’s the website?
Queeg: BBC Bitesize. It’s the only one he can find which has pictures.

Well I fucked up that blockquote.

[JamesTC]

Jo, it’s time to let it all go.</ blockquote>

PTS, you say you are here not to pick fights or be a dick but you surely must be aware you are rubbing people up the wrong way. This type of dismissive attitude to somebody you have offended (a second time) rather than doing the normal thing and you know apologising is not really the type from someone not out to be a dick.

The reason it all got serious around here is because you made an idiotic rape joke, apologised, left the forum, returned and then compounded that earlier offensive joke by making what could be conceived as another idiotic joke that seemed purposely made to rub people up the wrong way.

Can I change my answer to the Series III DVD case from BTE?

I think I’ve got a genuine chance of that one.

I had a Golden Wonder knock off Beef and Tomato today. Tasteless and watery despite the fact that I didn’t anywhere near fill it to the specified fill line.

Futureworld starring Yul Brynner. A true classic.

The Gunfighters is brilliant. As is The Treaty of Versailles.

But oh no, Jeremy Bentham and Adolf Hitler had to come along declaring them terrible and everybody believed them.

[JamesTC]

Modern audiences don’t want to laugh at people making jokes. Modern audiences want to make the jokes themselves.

Back with a very fitting comment there John. Glad to hear you got your kidneys back*

*like that bit in that Red Dwarf episode.
