Re: Red Dwarf
Pleasantly surprised at how good it has been so far. Not up there with the early days but better than the later series (which I gave up on).
I thought the original demise was due to the two writers falling out (same with quality of spin off books) but this only has one of them (Grant or Naylor - can't remember).

Re: Red Dwarf
Loving the return of Red Dwarf, fave show ever!!!
Around this time last year I was watching 'Marooned' from series 3 on DAVE ('your guitar was made from camphor wood').
In entered my son (now 12) who I was expecting to say 'can we watch something good Dad?' (i.e The Simpsons). Instead, he sat quietly then proceeded to laugh his socks off.
This led to him asking for/receiving the complete box set for Christmas and countless hours (in between Fifa 12'ing) of me and him watching every episode over the next few months.
He now recites episodes word for word, so the return of the boys from the dwarf last week has given us one very happy little boy. My wife however still can't see the attraction, maybe the occasion my Son innocently called her a smeg head did little to help the situation. Having seen last weeks episode, I was able to cough loudly over the tw*t comment during the recorded viewing with my son the following evening, which would not have gone unnoticed by the missus
I wonder how much of a new audience this series will create, any other fiso'ers kids caught the star(bug) yet ???

Re: Red Dwarf
thought the first episode was excellent, but last night was a little flat somehow to me - overegged the joke about Lister/Lister's dad - didn't have quite enough mileage for me.
Still entertaining though.
Red dwarf (the spaceship) of course has changed a lot down the years - and I find having to suspend disbelief on the set is the hardest thing to do!
Oh, and Lister's accent is nothing like as strong as it was!

Re: Red Dwarf
Red Dwarf was my favourite show as a kid, must have seen some of the older shows over 100 times. Series 2-4 are pure gold.
Stopped watching during series 7 ( or poss 8 can't remember) as it became a shadow of its former self.
Only seen episode 1 but thought it was quite good overall, although didn't really like the recurring phone call joke TBH.

Re: Red Dwarf
I just watched it (Sky have it 'on demand'). Pretty good, especially if you love the characters. Harmless fun with a few jokes at their own expense (hackneyed old cliches). Not going to set the world alight but worthwhile making and viewing.

Re: Red Dwarf
Ok in the last one shown (ep3). Spoilers ahead if you haven't seen it....
When they went back in time to take Lister's kidneys out to put in future Dave.... how come the crazy android doc managed to remove the removed kidneys and put them in a jar if they were already removed....

Re: Red Dwarf
I think it has been pretty good. More laughs than a lot of BBC comedy these days.

They filmed 12 episodes and are calling it 2 series so 6 more episodes in the can.

Re: Red Dwarf
Enjoying the series but have to say it is becoming a bit re-cycled. The kidney plot as Murf said was a black hole where as in the past the holes in the plot were more cleverly done.

Re: Red Dwarf
Thing I like about RD is the characters pretty much stay the same - where as other comic characters that have been long running change and mutate too much - particularly Alan Partridge but also David Brent - Coogan/Gervais play them differently now to their original incarnation.
