I fair enjoyed it. I like good comedy and well written.
I cant really find any clips of Season 11 for some strange reason on you tube to post

Here is some older clips

The lads all looked tired and everything felt half-hearted to me in the last series that I saw. It was something of a disappointment. Is the latest one better?




Lucylastic -> RE: Anyone caught the new season of Red Dwarf? (10/29/2016 11:28:32 AM)

I havent seen the latest season yet, but I plan to, I have to agree with Peon on the last season, But I do like it so I will probably get around to it.




WhoreMods -> RE: Anyone caught the new season of Red Dwarf? (10/30/2016 7:51:28 AM)

I'm with peon as well: the last series really put me off bothering with it again.
(Which makes me think of some people's reaction to the casting of a badly dressed Colin Baker as Doctor Who: maybe they need to cancel Red Dwarf completely for a decade and a half and get a Welsh kid's telly producer to relaunch it?)




WickedsDesire -> RE: Anyone caught the new season of Red Dwarf? (10/30/2016 11:07:15 AM)

Season 10 was it, or was it 9-10, wasnt very good that one and they didn't use a studio audience or canned laughter for it.
Season 11 and 12 they filmed back to back and they will show 12 next year. They did look older obviously...ever checked out Jules's age?

I thought the writing was back up to scratch in season 11 :) its not lost its charm on me and good comedy is rare these days

Incidentally Dirk Gently Ep1 is worth a watch although it starts of a little slow and the youtube trailer is shite.. i never saw the olde series and i actually forget how the book went, or if there were more than one book.

I fell off around season 7 - I remember something about a hiatus because Craig Charles was falsely accused of rape.

Cool. I thought Moffatt had managed to get that killed because he thought it was taking the piss out of his other franchise.

Craig was a bit of a lad back in the day, (before he got famous) but he sure as hell didnt deserve to spend that time in jail...remand is one of the most unfair parts of the system.
Spend some time in the system and you can disapear.
Ive mentioned more than a couple of times about a young guy who 3 years in jail without a trial
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/09/nyregion/kalief-browder-held-at-rikers-island-for-3-years-without-trial-commits-suicide.html

I have Zero time for anyone who falsely accuses someone of rape or assault of any kind out of spite, disappointment, vindictiveness, or malicious cuntery.

I'm going for that. Anything by Douglas Adams is for me. Ta!

Red Dwarfs have seasons?

A red dwarf is a small and relatively cool star on the main sequence, of either K or M spectral type. Red dwarfs range in mass from a low of 0.075 solar masses (M☉) to about 0.50 M☉ and have a surface temperature of less than 4,000 K.





PeonForHer -> RE: Anyone caught the new season of Red Dwarf? (10/30/2016 3:48:54 PM)

JLF, if you've not seen the early series of Red Dwarf you cannot *in any serious sense* be said to *have lived*.

Actually, I was quite the fan, however, I could not resist the urge, since I am not a fan of the current incarnation.




PeonForHer -> RE: Anyone caught the new season of Red Dwarf? (10/30/2016 6:18:22 PM)

Yep. I was a fan too ... though I never thought it was the *best* out there. A few chortles per episode, anyway.




WhoreMods -> RE: Anyone caught the new season of Red Dwarf? (10/31/2016 5:29:26 AM)

What I liked about Red Dwarf initially was that the writers seemed to be taking the piss out of every daft SF cliche they possibly could, often very cleverly and inventively. It went off when they got more into world building, as the world they'd created for it just wasn't all that interesting.
