"One minute you're down, the next you're right back up again"
Favourite joke in the episode for me
"It'll drive the conspiracy nuts crazy, but they'll never figure it out." And they still haven't.
RFK Jr thinks it was the CIA
@@tigrecito48 to be fair, the plan was hatched by the CIA. JFK only had to finish the job because the Boys From The Dwarf flamingoed it up.
@@tigrecito48The usual idea is JFK was going to go public with the US involvement with UFOs and the secret space program... so they bumped him off before he could speak out, although there are so many versions as to why, and who knows one of thems probably real lol... not that it matters.
I think the movie JFK got it pretty dammed close to the truth.. What is sickening is they got away with it..
@@Forestfalcon1 - The Oliver Stone movie spins a good story, but it in no way resembles the facts on the ground, and it ignores a lot of rather important issues. Don't get me wrong, when I was younger I was absolutely convinced that Oswald couldn't have done it alone, but the more I read over the years, the more it became clear that he could (for one thing, he achieved a "Sharpshooter" citation in the USMC) and did.
The biggest win of the episode creatively is that they told a very complicated detailed story in much less time than you'd expect them to be able to.
That's always really impressive when a time travel story pulls it off well. Same with Star Trek First Contact, they go to time period the viewer has never seen before but manage to explain it (while still keeping some mystery) in a matter of seconds.
Red Dwarf does these sorts of stories and concepts better than modern Hollywood blockbusters and streaming shows. They were doing Tenet and time-travelly multiverses before Christopher Nolan and Kevin Feige had made it through high school.
And doing it better. With jokes!
That wide eyed moment of astonishment when you both realised where/when they'd teleported back to was absolute gold hahaha
I was just surprised that such young ladies would catch on in under a second.
Shows what a great job they did recreating the scene of the crime.
Krysten’s reaction to the boxes is comedy gold.
@@beauxguss6321 Indeed - I was impressed too! :)
"American king" bit gets me every time 😂 "Jeff K"
Nah, it was John something.😂
@@AlmightyCRJ "Not Jeff K"
Geoff K
"One minute you're down, the next minute you're right back up again." I've said that a couple of times, I love it.
"It's that man we found" is one of the simplest but most memorable lines of the entire show for me. Makes me chuckle every time.
Happy you enjoyed this episode. One of the great ones.
Without any emotion. Like it was completely normal 🤣
Yeah, it's the 'matter of fact' way in which he says it.
And his reasoning of "picking on the chickens" XD
@@lawlini1979 Although I'm not sure why Cat was bothered. He's not human anyway. And Lister is barely human (what the hell)🤣
Start of the episode: Our future selves killed us, so we’re alive now.
End of the episode: JFK’s future self killed him, so he’s dead now.
As a kid I was always expecting there to be another reveal in the episode when the characters realised this.
I always figured that the internal consistency was this: the future crew kill the current crew, which undoes the entire sequence of events up to the point of the time drive being acquired (hence them needing to go through the reality bubbles to get it again). JFK killing his past self undoes the entire sequence of events starting with them getting the time drive, meaning they never went back to Dallas in the first place. Puts the audience in the same position as the conspiracy theorists in the 'was there someone behind the grassy knoll?' Official answer: Dunno.
I mean they forgot about how the time drive doesn't move them through space, but one obnoxious fan went off on the episode's director at a con about it, so we prefer not to bring it up.
Cat cupping his groin in response to the cop's "Hands on heads!" is great.
You can tell that Doug Naylor has done his research on the assassination, with the Dwarfers dressed as the Three Tramps. I like that this episode, much like Quantum Leap's JFK assassination episode, "changes" a fictional original history to bring it in line with what we know, with the guys sending Oswald up from the fifth floor to the sixth. Having that change the trajectory of the shot so that it necessitates the second gunman behind the grassy knoll is so clever.
After you finish RD, I would love to see the old BBC Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Close ties to Doctor Who because Douglas Adams was a writer on both.
Oh! I second that one.
Second both suggestions
@@TroyConvers5000 Oh, my! You people are just hammering my nostalgia button.
Thirding Hitchhikers Guide next- there's only 6 episodes.
Seconded. The BBC Series version is my absolute favorite, I ADORE that series
Ok, so has the show peaked? Yes. Are there still many good episodes down the line? Also yes.
"I'd like to thank you for... giving me the chance to... be reborn...."
This is up there with the ending of "Blackadder Goes Forth" as the most tragic moment in British comedy, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Tikka to Ride is definitely one of the best episodes ever. And while it is true that seasons 4-6 are probably the best seasons out of all RD, it does not mean that season 7 and 8 are bad.
Exactly this! Each season has some standout episodes!
Maybe it's nostalgia, but criticisms of season 7 sound suspect to me
For reasons.
@@bcfc2947 Season 8 could have stuck the landing if they used the alternate ending.
@@bcfc2947 No, we don't all know. I genuinely don't know what you mean. I have three or four potential things that maybe you mean, but all of these are on my list just because they are changes from previous season and not because I think they are bad.
I even tried to google it and noone can quite agree on why some people dislike season 7, but most people still think it's good.
So when you think "we all know", it's just your won perception tripping you up.
7 is a mixed bag but there's a few episodes I really enjoy. I don't like 8 at all but others adore the throwback charm and the fact they were brave enough to really shake up the formula.
Curious if the Gals venture to Back to Earth and the revival era... not sure I want to see that, tbh. Might taint RD for them :(
Red Dwarf series VII was filmed without a live audience, but the audience's reactions were captured for the laugh track. The episodes were shown to the audience, and the DVD of season 7 includes an option to watch the show without the laugh track.
I think I must have had the VHS as it had no laugh track and was weird to watch with the pauses for laughter.
@@jamspaper the show originally aired without laughs. I remember watching the show at the time and was weirded out by the silence. Thinking about it, I recall some episodes had laughter and others didn't.
@@FreakinSweet86 That was part of the reason i wasn't a fan of series 7 at the time, with the weird gaps and no "real" laughter, it just didn't feel as funny and obviously the gaps made the timing seem strange. I mentioned in another comment that i have found i enjoy series 7 onwards more on rewatches than i did when they came out.
@@FreakinSweet86 It didn't, the aired version is what the girls just watched, series 7 had 3 Xtended episodes though, 1,2 and 3, which didn't have the audience laughter added as the extra scenes that are added were never shown to an audience and they were only available on VHS and then DVD later on.
I still love the show from here on out. They take a different direction and vibe now and again, but that is normal. There are still fun bits and love the characters.
Gals from the Dwarf 😂😂😂
or Dames from the Dwarf
The next episode will probably make Kat and Paula cry God I wanna say more but I won't it's an episode that makes most Red Dwarf fans weep
our Rob or Ross ?
@@digitalcareline next episode is the one with an old friend the episode you said is the one after that
I looked it up after - Season 7 had some great story lines@@solrachernandez3389
I love all red dwarf. Each season has its own style. Redwarf for life
this ^^ 100% people....love Dwarf and personally love series 7 and 8..
That's the best thing about Red Dwarf. It hasn't just been the same thing for decades. They're adventurous with changing up things.
Same!
"Kryten behaving badly" is always fun. One of the finest episodes also 'pointless journeys' are plot lines of the best episodes of this series.
Really pleased that this episode played so well with two non-british/non-older Red Dwarf fans. S7 typically isn't remembered or regarded particularly well by fans who were alive during the original broadcast, because of the creative falling out of the Red Dwarf creators and another change in format (and... other things in 2 episode's time) so it's quite nice to it get some appreciation. The next episode is my favourite from S7 and after that... well let's see how much longer the gals last :(
I still say Epideme is a great episode. And the revival has been very good.
Missing the Rimmer salute? I think they need a ride on The Rimmer Experience. It'll cure that right away. :D
Kudos to Howard Goodall with the music in S7. Especially first two episodes, this orchestral stuff is amazing.
A brilliant under-rated man.
And DO NOT FORGET The Rimmer Song!
'Tikka to Ride' an absolute classic, period!
Next episode.... greatest cold open of any show ever. I will not be taking questions at this time.
See you later alligator 😅
As a British person who loves Red Dwarf; seeing American people react to THIS episode is something quiet special. 😂
For me, the next episode is the best episode of season 7. I have a feeling the Gals are going to live it.
@GallifreyGals the extended version of this episode shows what really happened to Starbug’s supplies after they get back from the 60s, lister realises he used the teleported to go back and beam all the supplies out before they engaged their future selves. After this, Kryten and Rimmer head to the front of the ship and on the way, Rimmer triggers a release mechanism which separates the front of Starbug from the drive section, leaving lister along with 2 and a half tones of curry.
This was the first episode I ever saw as a kid, so it was my favourite. Was horrified to find out how despised it was when the whole internet thing took off.
For me this is the absolute best episode, using the conspiracy theory to make Kennedy shoot himself from the grassy knoll ,,,, genius ....
Whilst series 3-6 is peak red dwarf, every series has got great episodes. The show even has somewhat of a renaissance in the last few series and i will be here for the entire journey... Stoke me a kipper... I'll be back for breakfast!
the laugh track was genuine laughter as it was shown to a live audience and their laughter was then added later on
I love the irony of this episode.
In the beginning it is explained that they are alive because their future selves came back and killed them but since they were killed as younger their future self never existed to come back and kill them so they're still alive.
Then you get the resolution of the Kennedy story is that a future Kennedy goes back and kills a younger Kennedy, thereby preventing himself from existing and being able to go back in time to kill himself.
Exact same situation exact opposite result
If I recall there was a deliberate intention with season 7 to change the show more into a comedy/drama. So the S7 was shot single camera style like movies are and there was no studio audience, but the finished shows were screened for a studio audience once they were completed to record a laughter track.
I love when they just flat-out kicked Lister's ass at the end.
@@TroyConvers5000 I had the same thought.
RIP Michael J. Shannon
(JFK)
(January 24, 1943 - November 23, 2023)
Yes, he passed away the day after the 60th anniversary of the assassination. RIP.
The Extended Episode adds a little closure to the curry
The reaction you both had when you realized when and where it was...your eyes got so big. LOL Have always loved this episode.
Met Chris Barrie and Sophie Aldred last week, both signed my artwork and had great photos taken with them. Was dressed as Rimmer series 2 and had the best day ever
SO JELLY!
This is one of my favourite episodes, but I'll admit I had one eyebrow raised to see how it landed on an American audience, so pleased it went well! There is also an extended/alternative ending/after credit scene solving the curry conundrem!
There is an alternate/extended finish for the episode. They get tonnes of curries and lager then launch Lister into space in a pod with it all for a while.
I really love Series 7 and 8 too. They are a bit different and I guess that's where some of the negativity comes from. I think they're just as funny though but also the drama of the storytelling improves and frankly, the show gains more heart with genuinely moving moments; it lets itself get more emotional. The closest comparison in the first era is Holoship from S5. Since Paula loved that, I knew she'd love this episode (and the next one)!
Ah Tika to Ride, one of the prime examples as to why s7 isnt the meh some people make it out to be... does it ever get back to s6 levels? No... does that matter?.. No, its still RD and its good RD, as all RD is good.
Definitely one of my favorite RD episodes, and a good example of everything that makes RD unique, makes you laugh, makes you think, makes you go 'wtf?' and does it with a thread of heart. The gun used, the cop uniform, and the hobos, even the empty drink bottle! are all real conspiracy aspects to the assassination which is a great touch by the show runners.
Id say the biggest issue with the rag s7-8 get, is simply due to us older RD fans... the changes in filming among other things etc, the 3-4 year gap, it is nice seeing new young reactors without those foibles in their mentality and views of the show from watching in real time coloring things. Which gives those 'meh to fandom' seasons some respite and redemption.
There was more to the long gap between Series 6 and 7 than just Grant and Naylor’s partnership collapsing.
First, Chris Barrie was starring in his own sitcom around this time called ‘The Brittas Empire’, and especially during Series 6, he had been growing disinterested in ‘Red Dwarf’ and was reluctant to the idea of coming back.
Also, Craig Charles sadly had his name dragged through the mud, when an ex-girlfriend falsely accused him of breaking into her home and r***** her, and he spent time in prison for over three months He was only let out on bail after he had been attacked by another inmate wielding a knife, and was then acquitted when the trial revealed that the girlfriend was never r****.
In the extended episode called 'duct soup' there is a joke about a boy called Squeeky Gibson. This was apparently Craig Charles favorite joke from Red Dwarf, however it was cut from the episode on the grounds of "good taste"
People who say that series 7+ is bad are wroooong! This is my favourite episode of all time, maybe top 3.
But isn't the whole point of the show that they can't get back to Earth? Did I miss something?
@@ihateunicorns867 that's what I love about Red Dwarf, they do wharever makes for a fun episode, even it breaks continuity and makes no sense :)
@@GSFBlade I’m not at all pedantic about the inconsistencies in the plot. But this isn’t Lister having his appendix out twice, this is the main premise that underpins the whole show.
It's interesting watching this episode when recalling Kryten's throwaway line about shouting "Duck!" from behind the grassy knoll in season 3's Timeslides, as conversely the window scene in this episode (at 10.30) seems to imply that the second gunman theory wasn't part of the original history in the Red Dwarf universe. Does Kryten in Timeslides reference the new timeline when Kennedy shoots himself, even though the crew hadn't travelled back to 1963 at that stage? Timey-wimey, wibbly-wobbly and all that.
Agreed, this was a fun one. And brace yourself for one of the all time great cold opens next week. 😃
I sense a Hazbin Hotel reference there in the post-episode discussion. I'm glad you're liking it.
I love that Paula is wearing the exact same shade of yellow as the Cat lol
Their reaction when they realised where the boys had transported themselves to.
I really love the guy playing Kennedy and especially his scene with Lister.
Fun fact: all the scenes of the motorcade and the event itself were filmed for this episode, but they did such a good job of it that people really thought they had somehow got the rights to use the original footage.
Believe it or not... we were shown this episode in school XD This is a great episode, and season 7 has it's moments after, but yeah, this is when things start to.. not be as good IMO. That being said, I hope you love it!
You should see if you can hunt up the old Red Dwarf DVD boxed sets... they were smeggin awesome. Had tons of behind the scenes and smeg ups and interactive menus.
I'd forgotten that this was the first episode of series 7! Brilliant and clever writing!
Lister becoming a cannibal... I remember absolutely losing it watching that the first time. Absolute hysterics how they built the "joke" of Kryten's lack of controls up to reach that climax.
To be fair... You will by all means still enjoy S7 and S8. They aren't awful. They are just - generally - not up to the same standard as before when both of the original team were together. After that is when the show lost me... but, thanks to the Gallifrey Gals, I am looking at watching along with ya'll into the newer eras....
As an aside, Tikka was the funniest take on the JFK assassination since The Kentucky Fried Movie's segment called "Scot Free".
I applaud how well they made Dallas on a BBC budget.
Paula, you are adorable lol.
My favorite line delivery of all time is when Kryten says "It's that man we found", kills me every time
I think the reason this series does so much better is because previously, you could tell they were telling jokes. Now they're just acting like their characters and the laughs are just naturally part of their dialogue.
"It'll drive the conspiracy nuts crazy, but they'll never figure it out".
Also yes, I've been loving Hazbin Hotel too ;)
This is also my third favourite episode... After quarantine and back to reality
"Picking on the chickens" is a great line (and pretty thought provoking re: eating meat).
It's revenge for 140 million years that dinosaurs ate our ancestors
I don't think it goes downhill from here, still some fantastic episodes coming up over the next few series.
Woohoo !! .... the gals from the Dwarf back with Season 7. I'm here for your genuinely invested love of this cult series.
Ok, so the main problem I have with this episode is that the whole premise of the series is that they can't get back to Earth. If they can just go back to Earth, why do they return to Red Dwarf? Why not just go back to their own time. End of series.
I know there's a lot of Red Dwarf that contradicts itself, and it doesn't really matter. But _this_ is literally the whole point of the show.
The previous episode showed that when they used the time-drive willy-nilly they ended up becoming complete smegheads.
But yeah, if they used it to do just that and then destroyed it then it'd be the end of the show. Which is obviously why they don't do that.
The in-universe explanation I use when stuff like this comes up? They're kinda dumb.
While I agree with this general objection, in this episode it's implied that the time machine is basically unpredictable, seeing as they ended up over two centuries off their target arrival date. Annoyingly, a few episodes later they imply that they can go to a specific place and time now, in which case...? "Timeslides" did this much more cleverly.
Yeah, as much as I love the way they did the whole time travel with JFK thing. The fact that they were able to just beam straight back to Earth all of sudden just never made sense to me.
Even if it was the 60s Lister would've jumped at the chance to go back and live on Earth, yet they treat it like they were just popping down the local takeaway.
Not many space ships the size of Red Dwarf about in 1963 .
This is where the slide begins unfortunately, however I still watch the "final" two "series" of this epic show!
@@stuartanderws5705 Touché sir, life would be much grimmer without..
I don't have a problem with people not liking certain seasons but I'm not looking forward to having to hear them constantly reminding everybody over the coming weeks...
I told yall, this is the best episode and is just as good every time you watch it. Glad you liked it!!
Season 7 & 8 are actually a lot better than people give them credit for. The change in film quality etc. threw a lot of people but some of the stuff they came up with is brilliant.
Series 7 is amazing, 9 on its hit and miss. You're in for a treat :)
Great history lesson for you ladies. One of the best dwarfs episodes. Think this has to be your best, funniest review of Red Dwarf. Looking forwards to your next review.
I've been waiting since S1 E1 to see your reaction to this episode.
Not long after this episode came out, I got gifted a t-shirt with the title "The Men Behind the Grassy Knoll", five silhouettes, and the quote "It'll drive the conspiracy nuts crazy, but they'll never figure it out". I still have that t-shirt, I still sometimes wear it. It's very thin, now, but the print held up!
Just for some context on the big gap between series 6 and 7, part of this was because Craig Charles was wrongly jailed on sexual assault charges. He was acquitted after serving almost 4 months in prison. So, obviously, it looked like the show was dead for a while.
They could have just explained they survived from the last season because the meeting with thier future selves was a 'un-reality bubble' , thus it was like a final test before getting the time drive...
If you know anything about 22/11/63 then you'll know how insanely accurate the recreation of Dealy Plaza and Elm was. Everyone looked how they should, from the 3 Tramps to Mary Muchmore.
Quarantine is my favorite episode but I think this is the best one. The series is still on Tubi, so I recently got to rewatch it and catch up on the newer seasons and 7 held up better than I remember.
Last scene, kryten swinging the police nightstick.
I loved this episode so much. One of my favourites.
If you haven't already, be sure to watch "Cant Smeg, Won't Smeg" the crossover between Red Dwarf and Can't Cook, Won't Cook (but maybe wait until after you finish series 7).
They never used a laugh track, to my memory. For outside shots, if I'm remembering right, when you hear laughter they'd play it back to a live audience and record their laughter.
Series 7 is uneven, but I really like the filmic vibe and genuinely think it has some of Red Dwarf's strongest material. Tikka To Ride is one of my all-time favorites too... definitely in the top 2 or 3.
Top 5 Episode, Time travelling for curry and lager is the most Dwarf thing ever, the Season 7 DVD has extended episodes with the option to remove the laugh track, Tikka to Ride is one of those episodes
Even people that dislike s7 onwards tend to agree that Tikka to Ride is an excellent episode.
Personally, I think s6 and the first half of s7 are Red Dwarf at its peak (possibly a result of it being the first Dwarf I saw as it broadcast), but even after that it's got its moments.
Teah, TTR is a great episode but it's all downhill from now on unfortunately. F Ucked Soup is just godawful and by the end of series 7 I'd lost all faith in the show. I'd been watching since day one and was part of the ALT.TV.Red-dwarf newsgroup when they were a thing. General feeling was after Tikka it fell of a cliff.
@@loopycyclist3028 I quite liked Kochanski's first series before they got to the Canary bit, she shook things up a bit probably peaking at the Pride and Prejudice joke.
It was educational for me when it first aired, the fact JFK shared a mistress with a Mafia don wasn't widely known in Britain back then.
I never figured out what people's problem was with series seven - I really enjoyed it. There aren't any series of Red Dwarf that I didn't enjoy, though. The later ones were perhaps a little weaker, but they're still great.
I found that I appreciate Series 7 and 8 more than most fans
My favourite episode, JFK as the gunman on the grassy knoll. So crazy !
There's an extended version of the episode which includes the following scenes minus the laugh track;
1. Star Bug expelling the waste.
2. Lister tells about the time he drank a yard of vindaloo sauce and then went clubbing with his mates.
3. The man they ate was named Eric White, and Cat had misidentified him as a married smoker whose last meal was a beef sandwich with extra mayo and a pickle.
4. Lister realizes he took the curry supplies moments before the encounter with their future selves.
3. "Single, vegetarian and chairman of the Anti-smoking League."
@@djco5782 "Bet I'm right about the pickle".
@@williamcrowe2576 Gherkin.
@@djco5782 I know, I just couldn't spell it correctly.
Your laughter throughout this was great! Such a great way to come back after 4 years and tackling one of the most controversial incidents in history.
I have an idea on how to finish up your song at the start of the video, "My mouth is burned. My mouth is burned, now!" 🤣
This absolutely is one of the best episodes Red Dwarf ever did. And I loved both of your reactions as you realized what was going on, and what was about to happen. Neither Doctor Who or Star Trek could have pulled this episode out, that is the beauty of this show. (honestly I think Supernatural is the only other show that could have hoped to have something this absurd...work, and even then I think it would have had less of an impact)
You've brought the 20th century to the very brink of extinction sir. GUM?
You might enjoy the song 'Hell' by The Squirrel Nut Zippers.
This is the 1st of 3 episodes that came out on VHS in an xtended version. It's worth look at.
I don't want you to think series 7 is all bad but this is definitely the best episode.
2-5 were peak dwarf, everything else after is a long slow decline unfortunately.
Kryten: Worst of all, the time drive has frozen.
Rimmer: Do you think it's because the subspace conduits have locked with the transponder calibrations and caused a major tachyon surge that has overloaded the time matrix?
Kryten: Ah, no sir, I've just been jabbing it too hard.
All time classic episode and proved it still had much to give
That is my single favorite episode of Red Dwarf :)
Yes, they were going for higher production values and a more cinematic look this season, so they stopped filming before a live audience. Though, I believe I've read that they would then show the footage of the completed episode to an audience and record the sound of their response.
All Red Dwarf is good. Some people just fail to appreciate it.
100%. Loved the earlier series, 7 lost a bit of charm in being more polished/modern but it got better in other ways, has some absolutely incredible episodes.
Agreed. I don't know what they're talking about quite frankly.
nah some of it is shite
All Red Dwarf is good. Apart from Timewave - all Red Dwarf is good.
Back to Earth was bad.
Gals from the Dwarf watch Tikka to Ride i think this is the one most of us was anticipating watching your reaction to, and it didn't disappoint. Yeah one of the best episodes of Red Dwarf. And one of my favourite line's from dwarf one minute your down the next your right back up again. Plus i loved how cat went from being able the smell flaming meteorites, to this episode where he only just recognise the man is male 🤣😆😂😆🤣😂😆😆😂😆😂🤣😂. And so glad you enjoyed this episode to. I'd love to see Gals from the Dwarf Smeg Up's at the end of all these reactions that would be brilliant. Oh and your top 10 episodes you reacted to 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This season looks different because they were planning to make a movie. So they shot this on film, did the lighting movie-style etc. Yeah, this is a fantastic episode. The realization that they're messing with the JFK story, then the final bombshell at the end...it's very stirring.
