New Red Dwarf

It's been said plenty of times before, but the whole point of RD was that it was a few blokes, who get on each other's tits, having to live out a fairly pointless life together. They could have been students sharing a flat, scientists in Antarctica, anything. The space stuff was a bit of extra fluff that set the scene. When they started using the space stuff as a way of perking up things and adding extra excitement was when the trouble began.

I fundamentally disagree with that. The first two series were a bit sparse. ALthough Queeg is genius.

Series 5 was where the show was at its peak - Holoship, Quarantine, Back to Reality, etc...

Everyone looks old. :(
 
They had the same problem when they did Star Trek 10, Data looked really old despite being an android who doesn't age :hmm:
 
I don't care if they look old. Just whether the new series will actually be funny.

Thing is, the series where Rob Grant was still on board, it was a great scifi programme with hilarious jokes put in. Then 7/8 they tried to make the actual stories funny, and that was where it all went downhill

And it didn't help they had that woman who was the worlds worst actor either...
 
I've just looked at his career on Imdb. Man, he was one of the voices of the scary firey dudes in Labyrinth. And he was in Little Shop of Horrors too. :cool:
 
Storymakers is fucking awesome

And Maid Marian and Her Merry Men has to count as one of the best kids shows ever, or at least the one with the best cast, even if a couple of them never did anything of note again. Although I keep thinking I see Robin Hood on Holby City or Casualty or one of those.

eta: Actually it turns out he appeared in one episode of Black Books, Robin Hood that is, which just goes to show... something.
 
Ah well either way it cant be worse than the american version, it was like seeing how they mangled hitchhikers, pull all the personality and humour out of it and add cheesy bastards.
 
I haven't been into Red Dwarf since Kryon joined, that creepy mime-artist fucker put me off the whole franchise. The first coupla of series were funny at the time when Lister & Rimmer were just slumming around digging at each other, but now even those look dated (and not just the sets). The new ones which had that glossy US feel to them were gash pure and simple.

Oh and also since The Brittas Empire came out and I've not been able to watch anything with Chris Barrie in it since.

Hotspur it's the Kryten-Rimmer interplay which makes RD.
