Red Dwarf X

Sadly, since it's on Dave, and I have no terrestrial telly, let alone Sky, I won't be able to watch.

I do want to know how/if they'll explain why Rimmer looks so much older.

Hmm.... I kind of went off it about series 6. 3 and 4 were superb though. I dunno. I might give it a try but I hope it has grown seeing as the actors are all so much older now. Hope it's not the same old shtick.

I've been watching the re-runs on Dave and have really enjoyed them - despite the confusion of them being re-run backwards. I am so looking forward to X - the trailers look good. They cast do seem to have aged, with the possible exception of Danny John Jules who appears to be as slim as he was all those years ago and can still move with cat like elegance and grace. There was a pre-view for the press and the episode they watched got rave reviews, which sounds very promising.

Just as long as they do not have the bloody talking toaster in it...

I've seen a few reports, and from what I can gather (from the audiences they filmed in front of) it's back to the good stuff.

*Is excited*

I didn't watch Back to Earth cos I know from experience that that kind of thing rarely works.

Ah. That'll be because Rimmer became a hard light hologram. (shrug)

I am excited. It's one of my favorite shows ever.

Well yeah.... funny for about 5 seconds?

LOL! In Red Dwarf time isn't that about three million years?

Doesn't look like it'll be broadcast in the States... at least not yet Used to love Red Dwarf (though I kind of stopped watching around series 4), and my 14-year-old discovered it through Netflix and is a big fan as well.

I'm tentatively excited.

Red Dwarf was on originally when I was a teenager and I watched it over and over. Love seasons 1/2 and 5 in particular. Wasn't that keen on 6 for some reason, and when it came back after that it went downhill rapidly. The most recent ones were a bit embarrassing.

Buuuuut I'm always willing to give new Red Dwarf a chance. Will be crossing my fingers that they've got it right this time.

Hadn't even heard they were making a new one. Loved the original series, although I didn't find Back to Earth as good. Does anyone know when it starts?

4th October, I think.

Yep!! Counting the days . . .

Not the best episode, like, ever. But pretty funny. I have hopes they'll settle back in.



Moose!

I enjoyed it. Not as good as it was at it's best, but certainly better than the last few attempts.

I enjoyed it. Some good lines. Spoiler . . . . . loved the resentment over drive concept!

Aww crap on a stick, I totally forgot about this. Will have to try and catch it on a repeat. Which, as it's Dave, will be a few thousand times.
