I watched one of the episodes that the other day and it’s the one with the JFK assassination. That episode was a classic. My fave bit is the where Lister and Cat thought that they were easting Chicken but really it was the dead guy that they find.

To all people that have bought the Red Dwarf Season 3 disk - there seems to be a problem with red dwarf season 3 disk 2 i just wanted to know if any one else has had this problem The problem it is that you canot navigate though the spcial features list just wondering cause it's really anoying me, although i can just navigate with my PC DVD software it's still anoying. also BBC have just put a statment about this DVD problem they think it's a hardware problem but ive tired it on two devices http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/deck01/dvd_statement.html If anyone has had this problem please tell me and if you have found how to fix it or get round it. This is also a warning to every one that is about to either get the DVD's or is thinking of buying this DVD,

Indeed I did. It's running from Series Six, I think.
DVD No.4 gets I release at the end of January or February.
Need to go on such a shopping spree.

They're also going to be rectifying this on Disk IV onwards, by letting you choose between the animated menu, and bog-standard one.

I agree, series VI seemed to have gone downhill a bit. I first got into Red Dwarf when VI was shown ... what year would that have been? Did anyone watch that episode the other week (I think it was "D.N.A" ) , when Kryten became Human? That was a cool episode Some of my favourites: Kryten:Oh, spin my nipple nuts and send me to Alaska! Kryten: Sir, you're a smeeeee... Rimmer: A smeeee. Kryten: You're a smeuuu-heeee... Rimmer: A smeuuu-heeee... Kryten: A complete and total one! Rimmer: You're about as much use as a condom machine in the Vatican. Holly: Name me me a game. Queeg: Chess. Holly: It can be anything. Any game at all. Queeg: Chess. Holly: Draughts, poker, any game at all. Queeg: Chess! Holly: Subbuteo, Snakes and Ladders, you name it. Queeg: Chess! Holly: Monopoly, maybe? I'll let you go first. Queeg: CHESS! Holly: So you like a bit of chess then, do you?

Series 4 - February 16. I'm on the edge of my chair!
Also, doesn't it just have the greatest theme?
Huzzahs are in order!

Originally posted by Stuart B: The show was just lifeless, at first I was happy that they'd left the cheap canned laughter off the Xtended vid, but after a while it just became excrutiating, with long pauses and forced reaction shots where the "laughs" were going to be dubbed in. If they'dve made the (completely sensible, in my opinion) decision to do away with laugh tracks altogether in Series VII, then the series would've been wonderful, in my opinion. Studio audiences have never really sat right with me, because why do you need the show to point you towards a gag? Do people need the audience's reaction to gague their own opinion of the joke? I don't get it at all. Maybe the studio audience can help keep up the energy of the performance, especially for actors weaned on theatre stages, but let's face it, having to perform in front of an audience for every scene of every episode is a hinderance. Reactions come out totally unnaturally due to having to allow for audience reaction times. An actor's overall pace can be ruined, quick-fire gags often becoming unneccesarily difficult to pull off audiably and naturally. Precious minutes of air time can be lost in allowing for the laughter. The sets have to be built without a fourth wall, limiting a director's choice of possible angles, and also have to have every other part of the room visable to that fourth wall, causing most rooms to be bizzarrely mis-shapen. Dialogue and sound effect tracks can never come out entirely clean. The ability to re-shoot scenes or make last-minute changes is drastically reduced. And, perhaps most importantly of all, the audience groans and awws in the corniest way, and coughs are irritating in the cinema when you're watching a film, but at least on subsequent viewings, there's never going to be a cough in exactly the same place. On a studio recording, even though it may be minor, coughs are preserved forever and they're distracting from the illusion. The one time where I can say that a studio audience improved my enjoyment of a scene in Red Dwarf was the infamous "boxer shorts" scene in Polymorph. The rest of the time (and listening to the audio commentaries, this would seem to be true) the audience merely seems to stroke the actors' egos by allowing them to laud their number of 'woofers' over the other cast members. So, no, I don't like it, and I think i'm going to open up a thread. Yes.

The only Red Dwarf episode to date that wasn't filmed before a live audience was Bodyswap. For obvious reasons. Can I just say, Chris Barrie in that episode is phenomenal. It's some of the best acting I've seen in a long, long time.

I haven't seen further than the end of series 6, so I apologise.
