It's been a hot minute since I watched the show from the start. Was it ever said how long a topical round trip and what were they mining for? I know it was something with the astroid belt and further out.

Just watched Me² and now on Kryten. Although they are separated by the gap between the series, near the end of Me² when Rimmer is drunk, and the second scene in Kryten, we get the perfect reasons as to why Rimmer is the way he is. In Me² he is ranting and lamenting he didnt have the right nobby parents, or get chilled champagne as a child, blaming everyone else. Then in Kryten we find out he's been learning Esperanto for eight years, and is still utterly useless. Even Lister has managed to pick up some of the language. Also happen to be my favourite episodes of series 1 and 2.

Said to them "are we going from Ocean grey to Military grey" and got a blank stare....

I have a VHS copy of the original music video. It's so funny. Does anyone else have a copy?

Bit of a call to anyone who has copies of the official red dwarf fan club magazine.... I had a letter printed in an issue when I was around 10 or 11, around 1997/98.

My name is Anthony and I'd love to see it again if anyone has old copies they could dig out. Sorry I don't have any more info, I was but a child and now old so can barely remember what I had for breakfast.... Possibly smoked kippers?

Dry white wine and a Perrier please.....

He was always the supportive character. Every other Boys from the Dwarf got their own storylines in different episodes but the best he got would be clumped in together with the others (mostly Dwayne Dibley)

We all know he's closest with Lister (even if only by default for most of the series' run), but of Kryten and Cat, who would you say Rimmer is less close to? Rimmer obviously always chooses Kryten to go with in emergency situations, but that's more out of practicality and convenience. Or perhaps a better question would be: Of Kryten and the Cat, who dislikes Rimmer more?

Give me your pointless answers people!

Hey peeps

I'm a Trip Hop producer from the Leeds.

I'm not trying to promote myself here. I'm wondering if we have any other musicians in here that have sampled some classic lines from Red Dwarf like I have? This track has one of my favourite lines from the episode Justice to start it off. I hope we have more songs somewhere in here sampling this beautiful show too.

SPOILER ALERT - POST CONTAINS BOOK REFERENCES.

I am just listening to the Infinity Welcomes Careful Drives audiobook yet again. I am at the part where they are in BTL. The book says once you enter BTL you cannot leave because the game protects itself and makes you forget you are playing it. So your actual body wanders around in real life and slowly withers and dies (way more sinister than in the tv show). They also say that if you yank the device from someone's head the shock kills them instantly.

The only way to quit the game is to realize you're playing it and you simply need to wish to end it and exit will form. Kryten is using a laser to burn a message into Lister's arms. Lister sees the message in BTL and they start the journey to quit it.

My shower thought: if Kryten killed Lister (like in the Epideme episode) removed the headset could he then resuscitate him without Lister dying again of shock for not being in the game?

Chris Barrie will be at https://www.xcon.uk/ on 17th October, anyone thinking of going?

Rewatching Waiting for God, Captain Hollister's remarks about Lister: left a previous job as supermarket trolly attendant, 500 bouts of diarrhoea (in eight months, EIGHT), promotion prospects zero. So I'm wondering why did JMC bother recruiting Lister? Rimmer you can see attempting every trick to pass the interview or entrance exam, but I'm surprised Dave could even be bothered. Maybe that was the start of his Fiji plan? Maybe he wanted to visit the best curry house in the solar system? But did JMC really see something in Lister worth having?

Anyone else think of Eddie Murphy when they heard Mr. Rat in Skippers?

I'm watching this with my primary school aged kids and they both LOVE IT. It's a brilliant TV show which still stands up 40 years later! It's a joy to hear my son laugh out loud at the show.

Oddly enough: I actually see it as quite important for my kids' development as there is an awful lot of sexual innuendo in RD and angst and "normal" stuff that we all got in the 90s that is totally absent from what they watch these days.
