[Closed] Red Dwarf XI...

So, what is it?

Don't worry Flashy, it was first on after the 60's, you won't have seen it.

So, what is it?

So, what is it?

Red Dwarf X was actually quite good. Very much back to first & second series style, just funny stories based around the crew on the ship. I also got to be in the audience for one of them and was a fun experience 😀 . Yes, they're all studio audiences.

XI trailer so far looks good too with a step up in the effects (hopefully not at the loss of plot)

Shhhhhmmmmeeggggggheeeaaaaddddddd.........

Red Dwarf X was actually quite good.

I rewatched X recently, could hardly remember any of it. Much better than I remember though.

I didn't care for the last lot. I got the impression they tried to make it visually more glossy. I didn't think the stories stacked up either.

Bring back Pete Tranter's sister.

Todays fish is Trout a la Creme. Enjoy your meal.

I'm still collecting Reggie Wilson's hammond classics

Why can't we listen to the classics; Mozart, Mendelssohn, or Motorhead?

So what is it?

You drank my Swarfega?

Are you sure sir? It does mean changing the lightbulb.

So you're a waffle man!

As a long time fan, the last series just didn't do it for me.

I think the thing that made the older series so good was that behind the gags, each of the episodes usually actually had quite a decent sci-fi story driving it along.

The last series was just the same old gags with no real story. Look at Lister! He's such a slob! And Rimmer, what an anal jerk! The cat's really vain and stupid isn't he! Oh, and what about Lister - look how much a slob he is! and so on.

Actually that's one of the other things. Since about the time Kochanski came on the scene in an earlier series, they made the cat really stupid. He was never stupid before that. Vain yes, but not necessarily stupid.

So what is it?

Agree that Kochanski ruined it

Schmeee Heee

I don't know who you are, but your presence here is an act of war; ergo we surrender!

"I can't hear anything sir, because there are nooooooo sounds"

We couldn't possibly do that. Who would clean up the mess?

Dry white wine and Perrier please.

Jenny who?

It's 8 foot across, man - you don't think that's giant? What kind of pizza house have you been going to? The Fat-Bastard-o-ria?

So what is it?

Agree that Kochanski ruined it

I don't know as it was Kochanski v2 that "ruined it" per sé (though she was... poor) but that whole era was a low point in the series.

Fish!

Today's fish is trout a la creme. Enjoy your meal.

Fish!

I remember watching the latest series, but didn't think too much of it. I'll watch it again at some point.

I don't think it will be all that... Shame because at its best, it was brilliant.

22nd of Smegtember. Too far out yet to set the Sky+, so I'll have to remember!

Dave, 9pm, 22nd.

Incidentally, apparently the first episode is being shown early (tomorrow?) on one of Sky's pay-per-view channels, if you feel like waiting two weeks between the first and second episodes.

Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast!

The menu looks interesting, I think I'll try the chicken.

It's on tomorrow on UKTV Play

That's the bunny, yes. What do you need to get that, then? (I could've sworn it said it was PPV, but I read it on that most reliable source of facts, Facebook.)

On the patented Verses-scale;

Season's 1 and 2 = Near perfect
Season's 3 and 4 = Pretty good
Season's 5 to 9 = Meh
Season 10 = Not bad, maybe close to 3 & 4's level...

Seems UKTV Play is the family, not an individual channel?

I think you've got 5 in the wrong row there. Quarantine, Back to Reality...?!

It was 7 where the wheels came off IME (and - coincidentally - when Rob Grant left the show). Chloe Annett's Kochanski was a terrible misstep, and Chriss Barrie was off doing other things for half of it.
