Any other Red Dwarf fans here?
 

Just finished watching the commentaries on the season seven DVD that just came out.

My faveorite sci fi(ish) show.

Only started watching it because it came after Blackadder here for a long time.

Fuuny show, but not much holds a candle to Blackadder in all it's incantations.

My 2c

I like Blackadder too but they are different animals.

Some weeks ago, I found a Red Dwarf dvd at work. I had NO idea what this was, so I thought I might check it out, thinking it looked like some sci fi action! Well was I suprised. :1orglaugh

Took me a couple of episodes to adapt, but then I loved it! Haha...

Yup, you have to learn the characters but once you do it takes off.

(that would be a yes!) ;)

interesting thread....

I love that show.

Hell yeah!! One of my all time favourites!

I loved that show!! I use to crack up watching it :thumbsup

Never heard of it.

The soundtrack for RED DWARF was composed by great guitar player from CZech - Mr. PAvlicek - he is a guitar player one of the best rock groups in Czech rep - "PRAZSKY VYBER" and he got many awards for Red dwarf soundtrack
:2 cents:

The theme song always gets stuck in my head for days after watching the show.

dwarfs? where?

I never did figure out what was supposed to be funny about Red Dwarf. But hey, if it works for other people, that's cool. At least it's not like most British sitcoms, which are funny to nobody at all.

I used to watch that show all the time when I lived in England. And both Red Dwarf books I have ("Infinity welcomes careful drivers" and "Better than Life") are amongst the funniest things I`ve ever read...
I really miss that show,I might have to get the DVD`s...

The commentaries are funny. They just put out season seven here which leaves on more to come.

Me...though I think I am just tall enough not to qualify.

I never really got the program to be honest

It wouldn't be cult if everyone liked it :)

Love it. :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I'm definately a fan! I got introduced to it when they we're broadcasting the original series on the BBC. Later the first couple of series were adapted for the DVD and rebroadcasts. I still have the original BBC recordings somewhere. I do have the DVD's. In two weeks there's a read drawf meeting in Birmingham, England. I have the tickets sitting here. I'll definately be there! ;-)

Husband got me hooked on it.

Ouch, thats going back a while.. I remember watching some of the first series when it came out, but it was only several years later when it was rebroadcast that I really got into it - I still have some ~15 year old mostly dead VHS tapes around here!
In fact one of the very first websites I saw was "swirly thing alert" a fansite made by one of my mates back in the day when he was the only guy around that had a net connection.. heheh.
Definately one of my fave series of all time.
:thumbsup

Is that Dimension Jump? I have always wanted to go but I thought it was usually in the Spring. Two weeks? Grrr...I bet I won't be back from the States before then.

The meeting is the weekend of the 26th of November. There will be a who bunch of other things there as well, the original cast will be presenting the series VII DVD. I could order it over the web, but I thought it was more fun to drive over there and buy it ;-)

I won't be competing in the costume competition... but who knows... with the way I dress... I might still win ;-)

Yeah, I will be in the States or I would probably take the train up. I was thinking of this - they have it every year. If I am in the country whenever it is this year I may well go.

Sounds like anoth weekend I'll be at! ;-)

Well say hi :) I won't be doing the costume thingies either. I like the show but there are levels I won't go to. On one of the DVDs they extras include something about the Dimension Jump weekends and there is a woman that has all the charcters tattooed on her body. Very odd.

I'm Big fan of RD

I was going to ask for details as I'm sad enough and love the show enough to maybe visit. I think I'll give the costume a miss though as thankfully I'm still *just* the right side of geeky to feel stupid wearing one :). Hmmm...now where did I put the calendar...

Oh - and yes a superb show. One of the few things I can watch repeats of :) Favouirte episodes are the one with the Arny Rimmer fair ground ride and the one where he gets a virus and turns mad :) Loads of great episodes though although not quite as funny when the crew were bought back to life.

BTW - for those that have now idea about the meaning of smeg (I believe it's not used toooo much outside of the UK... smeg=smegma=cock cheese :)

all that is not good

I love the Arnold Rimmer Experience....Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer...he is also a fantastic swimmer...lol

The single best scene in any of the series :)

If you're in trouble, he will save the day
He's brave and he's fearless, come what may
Without him, the mission would go astray
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

Without him, life would be much grimmer
He's handsome, trim, and no one's slimmer
He will never need a Zimmer
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

More reliable than a garden Strimmer
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner.
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer

Master of the wit and the repartee
His command of space directives is uncanny
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me
Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

He's also a fantastic swimmer
And if you play your cards right,
then he just might come round for dinner
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer

Yup, i've loved it for years.

The dvd 'just the show's was excellent value !! :thumbsup

Series 1 - 4...

I agree - it is my faveorite episode. I watched the dvd and commentary on it last night and it doesn't matter how many times I see it I crack my ass laughing when I see the mini Arnolds.

The commentaries and extras on the full dvds make it worth it..comedy.
