Red Dwarf???

[dr. klopek]

This is the cheesiest show with the greatest premise ever. UK posters are more likely to know what I'm talking about. Anyone??

[ThaSaltCracka]

easily the nerdiest show ever.

[bholdr]

It's cold outside,
there's no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone,
more or less
I want to fly
far away from here,
for fun, fun, fun,
in the sun, sun, suuuuunnnn...

I want to lie, shipwrecked and comotose,
drinking fresh
Mango juice....



red dwarf rules.

The guy that played holly is hilarious. All the [censored] they do when time goes all crazy is great. And the one where they wake up from the game...oh man. I read that they were supposed to make a movie.

First time I saw red dwarf I was on psychedelics. The show was somewhat funny. Somehow I keep watching all the episodes. I think really from season 4-7 is when it got quite funny. Plus the sci fi writing is pretty neat. Did anyone hear they plan to make an actual movie?

[dr. klopek]

I read that they were going to make a movie here (http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/), but neglected to find out how old that information was.

A lot of people think that it's nerdy and stupid but, man, the sci-fi writing is good, and I just like the idea.

what is this?? ive never even heard of it....

[spamuell]

It's very funny, repeats are on cable quite a lot in the UK, or they were a few months ago.

[pokerjo22]

Its on PBS all the time - its pretty funny. The later series were good because of Kryten, but worse with the female Holly.

[The Dude]

Very funny show.

[AdamK]

I prefered the female holly..
the cat was always cool, rimmer was ace, and that kachanski was fine too..
The last series, i dunno what happened, terrible

[InchoateHand]

Hilarious, I don't care what the other donks say. Haven't seen it in years, should rent some, thanks for the very timely reminder.

[InchoateHand]

Up there with the Young Ones, too, my other favorite cheesy stupid hilarious British thing.

[daveymck]

I got the 4 series box set for my step son for christmas very handy for me too.

Went downhill form there imho.

Young Ones is ok but I dont think has aged too well.

Blackadder is also a must watch UK tv comedy.

Strange, I just read the book a week ago. Didn't know it was a tv show.

i hate this show with a fiery passion. at my summer job last year i shared a room with 5 guys. a few of them would always throw on red dwarf and laugh it up. i despise that show.

Uber hilarious.
One of my favourite shows of all time.

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

Some of you might be amused to know that the guy who plays Lister is about to compete in a UK reality TV show called 'The Games' where he will be up against various other 'celebs' in a series of sporting events.

The events are:
High Diving
Weightlifting
Sumo
Gymnastic Vault
Speed Skating
Water-Ski Jump
Cycling
Javelin
100m

Saw the preliminary show yesterday showing them in training and he very much resembled his Lister persona - he smokes 40 a day and he was shown throwing up on the way to a training session with an unspecified illness (ie hangover!)

Given that, at 40 years old, he's one of the oldest competitors and is by far the least naturally fit it should make for some amusing viewing.

I think it is getting seriously overhyped in this thread.

Well, it's a book, and the title is Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers.

The books are basically retellings of of various Red Dwarf plot points and scripts until the 3rd one, IIRC. If you have seen the show, most of it will sound very familiar. Still hilarious, but familiar.

Red Dwarf is definitely in my top 5 fav TV shows of all time.

i attempted to watch this show once and could not deal with it. i never watched again.
