I didn't see any other posts having to do with Red Dwarf, is there is one please redirect me. I'm just wondering there are any Dwarfers out there, seeing as there's so many Browncoats already Although I love Firefly (How could I not, being here?) Red Dwarf is my favorite science fiction show, actually my favorite tv show, and Firefly comes in second sadly. The shows remind me of each other in that they both have a sort of anti-hero, someone who would not kill unless it was necessary but still seem to be low lifes. I guess that is basically where the similarities end, except that both of them happen to be hi-larious. I guess the other similarity is that the fans both want another movie made, I say Serenity happened so please let Red Dwarf The Movie happen, that would make my year!

We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so...very...pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

I love Red Dwarf! I haven't been able to see much of it, sadly; working on collecting it now. But it is soooo expensive! Smegging hell!
And I'm sure Citizen is a fan, as he mentioned beer milkshakes in his sig. There were some Red Dwarf shenanigans in General Discussions awhile back, too. I didn't know enough to take part, since as I said I haven't seen enough of it.

Yeh there is a thread somewhere but most people on here are from USA. SO not much is said about the Dwarf. Me I'm a huge fan. I just bought Season 8 on DVD and I would also love to see a movie. I heard about season 4 Grant and Naylor where going to New Zealand, with the original cast, to start production but I never heard anything since. I think it is down to budget.

Aaaaahhh Beer milkshakes and cold curry sauce for breakfast :) I have met Craig Charles as I live in his home town.

It's nice to hear from fellow fans :) 'Boys from the Dwarf!' :D

It's cold outside
There's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone
More or less
I'd like to fly
Far away from here
Fun fun fun
In the sun sun sun

Yea, sad thing about Red Dwarf is alot of people here in the US don't even know about it. It was on PBS in some cities I think but that's really all the air time I think it got (as far as I know). I really want the big movie to finally be made so everyone can know about it. What was Craig Charles like by the way?

I love Red Dwarf & have all 8 series on video....which means now I have to upgrade to DVD.

The dilema I have is whether to buy the first 4 series without the special features in the one pack or buy every series seperately with the special features.

Once I resolve that I wil start the upgrade purchases.

As for the movie it seems to have fallen through about 3 times now (once cos the US studio wanted to use US actors for some of the roles) and I doubt it will ever see the light of day now

Best thing for it. Recasting with foreign actors never works. Why do they always do it, though?

Keep an eye on the changing pictures top left. The bit on the Alliance ship's yo-saff-bridge. Crossy armed commander pointing at something? Rimmer.

They definitely should run it in America. It'll change eating habits forever. Beer, curries and Doners (the last of which you never actually taste because the curry's done your tongue, and you are only getting a kebab because you are so pissed that It Definitely Seems Like A Good Idea.)

I've tried them in daylight. Taste totally different and you can't manage the swooping move that enables you to engulf a big dod of the pitta, salad and the stuff. Never seems so messy in the dark...

Yea, I think the problem with the Red Dwarf fans is possibly that they are less organized in their support, and it was also so long ago that anything new has happened. It's a shame the deal fell through, but different actors would have ruined it. (Definitly get the special features btw

)

I was leaning towards getting the features its just that it will cost me twice as mich....but then again its only money.

The reason why the Red Dwarf fans aren't as organised as everyone thought the movie was a done deal, the show wasn't cancelled the creators went towards a movie off their own steam. As such everyone was expecting downtime and never really had the oppertunity to get organised.
