For lovers of Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and the Cat......a new series of Red Dwarf starts on Dave at 9pm tonight

Hi,
I wouldn't use the term 'lovers' exactly...

I did mention this a couple of days ago on another forum, killed that conversation stone dead

With a goodly bit of Kenny Everett last night and now this, you don't think they've started trying to actually entertain us again by any chance

Regards, Gerry.

Thanks! Let's hope it's better than the last three episodes that were made.

I'm a bit of a Red Dwarf fan...Mrs Dreyfus is a huge fan. I have not had the 'pleasure' of the latest series...can't get Dave in our area.

Not Red Dwarf, but Craig Charles is commentating on Takesi's Castle. Japanese gameshows are so cool!

I can't get "freeview" Dave as we get Freeview Lite in Mid Wales which doesn't include Dave.

However I have no problem by using

Simple registration, no fee or follow up marketing.

The beers are cooling.
I'm so looking forward to the new series.

I do agree with Tank about the last couple of series not being very good.
Maybe this gap is going to produce better.

Let's comment tomorrow.

BIG fan of the Dwarf....(50 out of 50 on the Dave website quiz...actually not sure if I am proud of that

)

...Beloved and I have two copies of every episode up to series 8 on DVD, plus some original videos and both smeg up tapes. Only one DVD copy of Back to Earth, as its just not in the same league.

Verdict on first Series X episode?

Better than I thought it was going to be, some laugh out loud bits, and Kryten's new look not quite as jarring as I thought it would be.

However, not sure I like the direction its going in, not sure its the right word, but more of an "Adult" feel to it? Bit more "sitcom"?

It was certainly better than I thought it was going to be.
Kryten looked as if he had stepped out of Dynasty though

MattJ · October 06, 2012, 06:25:28 PM

Yes, much better than that one-laugh (a remark about Kryten having vacation in the broom cupboard) effort a couple of years ago!

Where's Holly though? Is the new computer in next week's teaser going to be a permanent cast member?

Anyone noticed in the classic Camille episode that followed how much Kryten's attempts to call Rimmer a smeghead sounded like a two-tone train horn?

Tank · October 06, 2012, 07:18:17 PM

Really enjoyed the episode last night. Great to see it back on track. I too noticed that Kryten's face was a little different.

All our faces are a little different than they were 20 years ago

Tank · October 06, 2012, 08:34:32 PM

Very true!

bigbear · October 09, 2012, 03:44:40 PM

Forget his face, Kryten's waistline is DEFINITEKLY going widescreen! I am in no position to talk, but hey! A droid with a beer belly? I love it!

BernardTPM · October 09, 2012, 03:52:37 PM

Has he been on the Castrol again?

I thought they were all looking a lot older, grayer and wider. But I guess they're supposed to have been in space for years.
