I remember my brother introduced me to Red Dwarf while our PBS station was running the series on Saturday nights. That show is hilarious. Some of my favorite episodes were "Quarantine" (that king of the potato people bit is great), "Better Than Life" and that one where the crew was attacked by the robot that eradicated the lazy and gave a different version of "you" a chance at life (I do not know the name).

*sigh* just wish the dvds would have adequate prices over here. $40 for one "season" is kind of ridiculous, considering that it's only 6 episodes of about 20min. that means one "series" of red dwarf is about 3 episodes of a typical american show, yet costs as much as half a season with 10-12 episodes??

i better dont mention the only sources for the rpg are at $86. did i mention germany sucks? *grrr*

Hey nice to see you guys across the water like our little british Sci-fi show.

:)

I loved Red Dwarf. On occaisions it would break into the truly profound and heartbreaking. D'yo remember the multiple Rimmers?.... Creating rings around a planet. Moving stuff.

Here are some quotes.

Rimmer:"May I remind you all of Space Core Directive 34124?"
Kryton:"34124. 'No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity'."

Rimmer: "Erm, I think we're losing sight of the real issue here, which is 'What are we gonna call ourselves?' Erm, and I think it comes down to a choice between 'The League Against Salivating Monsters' or my own personal preference, which is 'The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society'. Erm, one drawback with that - the abbreviation is 'CLITORIS'."

Rimmer: "Step up to red alert."
Kryten: "Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb."

Was I dreaming, or perhaps I just pulled it out of my butt, but wasn't there a movie in the making?
I've got to go, my toaster won't shut up about making me some toast.

Trivia: Much of the cost for a particular series going to DVD has to do with all the licensing of the rights to the show and paying the talent, etc ... so yeah a set like Red Dwarf with only 6 episodes can cost as much as say Family Guy ... with 20 0r so episodes a set for around $30 US

I remember one time when PBS aired Red Dwarf it was said during fund raising breaks the show was said to be very expensive to get the broadcast rights.

I've got it lined up on Netflix. Can't wait to see it. I LOVED the Hitchhiker radio show. I can't wait to see the movie!

(laughing so hard that I'm crying) Ah, I *miss* that show. Some of the guys were so great that they would show up every year (still do?) to do our local PBS station's fundraiser (Seattle, WA) with marathon Red Dwarf showings. I lost sooo much sleep every year watching those on my crappy little 14", snow-ridden tv.

I would love to have the above quote tacked above the "alert status" board at the nuclear test facility that my husband works at.

I used to be confused, now I'm just not sure.

Interesting this one.

As the BBC and all it's programmes are funded through the TV licensing rites - I think there was some debate the other day about the legitimacy the Beeb have to charge for things again with DVD/Video sales etc, as technically we the audience here in Britian, have already paid for it.

I think there was some case going to the European court or something.... Bit fuzzy on the details
