@@frankie3041 I have a feeling it probably tripped copyright because that's one of the handful of clips the Beeb itself always uses in compilations. Like there's a guy who's uploaded Not the Nine O'Clock News full series supercuts, and the only bit he's had to cut out is the Gerald the Gorilla sketch.
I'm aware you've both possibly already recorded it, but if you haven't and you also happen to see this comment, try to keep in mind, that after the next episode, all of us who watched it at the time had to wait nearly four years! for the next series.
This created the most moral of dilemmas. Technically, she would be sister. After much consideration, i thought "what the hell, i just wouldn't tell her"
The clone? Sister/daughter. The distinction kind of breaks down when it comes to cloning, because it's genetically a twin but also literally offspring.
Chris Barrie was the driving force as Mr Brittas in a TV series called the Brittas Empire, in the UK. I think you may like it. He is the manager of a Leisure Centre and has a number of staff he has to control and lead a rag tag team of in some cases miss-fits . Some very normal and nice people as well but silly and crazy things happen all the time.
The original ending features future Lister returning from the bathroom after the past crew leave, asking what were those voices, though this idea was scrapped when the production crew realized that it would make nice foreshadowing for events in the next episode this deleted scene is on the special features on the Series 6 DVD. You gals really should stop guessing what's going to happen just enjoy it because it does take the jokes away if you overstudy it too hard and then it all falls apart there's no real hard continuity in this show 😊.
I'm so used to seeing you two in separate locations and the way you're sitting makes it look like you're using a split screen 😂 So when I see you turn towards each other, it takes a second for me realize who your talking to.
This just reminded me. When this originally aired I was in school sixth form and my friends mothers then current boyfriend, played the naked body double for Rimmer in this episode.
If you want to see any of the crew in major films, you can see Danny John Jules alongside Wesley Snipes in Blade ll, and Chris Barrie alongside Angelina Jolie, playing Laura Crofts manservant in the Tomb raider series.
If you like Agatha Christie style crime Danny John Jules was also in the early series of Death in Paradise up until around the middle and has just made a return the last couple of episodes of the latest series. As well as the 1989-1994 sitcom Maid Marian and Her Merry Men.
13:34 Well here we are, twenty years later and I finally connect that yes, we do find out what happens to Lister in the next episode. I've only seen them all dozens of times.
The Lister joke at the ending was actually meant to have more. Turns out Lister was just on the toilet when their past selves appeared Rimmer was just f***ing with them
Which was cut because they realized it tied in with the next episode (after finding it out because it was one of their 'we're beyond last minute with the end of the season' despite the things they tweaked to make it easier to write (e.g. the Space Core Directive and "Cat's Deader than..." analogy running jokes)
While Chris Barrie playing his female clones was fun I do think it would have been neat if they'd brought back Suzanne Bertish who played Arlene Rimmer way back in Series 2 for a cameo.
I love that you’ve clearly got a bunch of comments from people who can't tell that you're recording in the same room because of the screen 😂 I have to admit, even though I knew, it still caught me out a couple of times 😅
"That was an important speech Sir, and it needed to be made . . ." Is my favourite line of dialogue in the whole of Red Dwarf. My one desire in life is to work it into a real life put down.
Those Chinese stress balls were quite the thing in the mid-90s. Although I think they were for concentration, not stress relief. It was a pointless fad, like wearing army dog tags like jewellery.
Having watched everything so quickly, you're going to be at an advantage in the coming series. There are quite a few callbacks to previous plot points and jokes and if you'd been watching them on tv, when they aired, it was quite easy to miss some of the more subtle ones as there was quite the big gap between series 6 and 7. One thing to always remember though, RD has a loose relationship with its previous plots, so there will also be times when you might be wondering “hold on, in episode ... They said that this happened but now they're saying ....” so the best bet is just go with what's said/done in the current episode and explain it all away by the various times they've messed around with dimensions/time lines etc…
I can't believe i cried for Rimmer during Holoship, he is a Smeghead who is not worthy of my tears. Although i'm bit of a Smeghead myself and deep down i do love Arnold Judas Rimmer "Bronze Swimming Certificate"... don't judge me!
@@JackRascal In S4 Camille he wears a black and white tiger stripe jacket. In S5 the jacket is coloured in with yellow felt tip pens to create a black and yellow stripe jacket in Terraform. (I Think; might be misremembering)
The books are amazing if you gals are readers. Even if you're not, the audiobooks read by Chris are fantastic! Great sci-fi that just so happens to be hilarious.
Red Dwarf changes over time to keep itself fresh; some seasons, changes, are better than others. Truth be told, S7 is the one I feel is the worst, which is not to say it has nothing good in it, just ever show has its highs and lows. Some think that of S8, but I love S8. So everyone will react differently.
S9 is worse in my opinion. 7 is pretty bad. S8 is more of a missed opportunity. It has great moments and even a great episode, but the pacing is a bit wrong, plots meander and get lost in themselves. Possibly the series has two too many episodes and could have been done better had they just stuck to 6.
S8 is definitely the worst, it took what would have been an OK plot for one episode and stretched it out to a whole season. Say what you like about S7, but it didn't manage to kill the show for a decade.
@@TroyConvers5000 No it 'killed it'. BBC weren't interested in a S9. Its only because the repeats were still doing well a decade latter that Dave (who aired the repeats) revived it. Doug Naylor talks a bit on the S8 documentary about the pitches he made for S9, but the BBC decided too 'rest' the show. Oddly the BBC's lack of interest had nothing to do with the ratings, S8 had the highest ratings, with a peak of 8 million viewers and was if I recall the highest rating show on BBC2 other than Sport events that year (if not certainly top 5). Its just the quality of S7 and 8 had been poor and Sci Fi in the 90's was not cheap. Ultimately the BBC thought they could spend the money better and get higher quality new shows for the money. There wasn't much of a backlash. S7 and 8 had been so disappointing that it didn't seem important anymore. I was relieved it was over. When S9 launched I watched out of idyll curiosity. I never re-watched it until recently (and its still awful). I didn't bother with S10 when it premiered, I didn't actually watch RD again till I accidentally put on a repeat of S11 and found that the show was actually pretty good. Then went back and watched S10 and 11, just before 12 premiered.
Indeed. I actually rather liked series 7. More than series 8, although I quite liked parts of that too. I feel 7 is unfairly maligned mainly due to a certain change, that I won't spoil further here. I think some fans blew things out of proportion. I thought the stories were fine though.
@@mardroidmk1393see, I feel S8 is the one which is the most maligned and underrated; of course, it is fine people have differing opinions, as it shows that the show always tries something different, and it works for some more than others, instead of just doing the same thing always and getting stuck and boring
Rimmerworld - if only they could all have been Ace . Some good one liners in this but to be honest not my favourite . Nice to see Paula & Kat together .
Gals from the dwarf watch Rimmerworld. You remember that medieval war? what the 30 years war? No the other what the hundred years war times that by 6 and you get your magic number lol 😂 😅🤣 😅😂 😅😅 😅😅 😅😅. The worry balls 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
(Still asleep from last week) No...Pat Benatar!! My darling!! Don't leave me!! Pat Benatar!! (Wakes up) Awww. Oh! Gallifrey Gals Red Dwarf! That should cheer me up! What with Pat Benatar always walking out on me and all. 😃
You two seriously need to watch Blackadder, The Young Ones and Bottom. They’re sitcoms but just offbeat enough to suit the “cult TV” vibes your channel goes for.
I'd definitely be interested to see their reaction to "The Young Ones" that will be the most bizarre and culture shock to them. As for Blackader if your going to watch a series with new eyes despite what people think of Season 1 I don't think it should be skipped at all I don't think any season of a show should be skipped whether it's the worst or otherwise but that's up to the gals.
@@TroyConvers5000 They will *LOVE* Blake’s 7. It’s like Doctor Who but for adults! It’s worth it just for Avon’s put-downs alone. "The fire was stupid. Putting Vila on guard duty was suicidal. What's the matter? Staying alive become too complicated for you?" 😂😂😂
@@joshuajoshua2732 Why don't you think any Season should be skipped? I'd agree if the shows in Black Adder were actually seasons but they aren't, the only continuity to them is Edmund comes from the same family lineage. Each Black Adder is a unique thing unto itself and doesn't require any sort of previous viewing.
FYI (no spoilers) but many regard this series as the final in terms of the "golden age" of Red Dwarf. After this series (1993), it's 4 years until the next one (1997). They experiment stylistically, and with the format; they have a bigger budget, and use CGI rather than good ol' BBC models. The later shows feel different to the earlier ones, but they do have their moments.
Interesting what you said at the start about missing the old Red Dwarf, I felt exactly the same by this stage. I keep going back to the first two series
Obviously the next episode is the last of the series and the last of the original and best era of Red Dwarf. The better half of the writing team leaves after this and you'd better prepare yourself for a tone shift, (and some questionable production decisions if you ask me) for series' 7 and 8. then there is another big gap, and tone shift, for series 9, when the show, cancelled by the BBC (effectively or officially, I'm not sure), was picked up by the channel "Dave" who were previously mostly known for re-running old BBC shows that appeal to male gen X and Y. then another gap and shift for the rest of the show's run. I hope you enjoy the rest of it more than me. 😅
A few good jokes aside, I pretty much hated this one; it's just a variation of Terrorform. Completely ignores how holograms work, and I'm not just talking about how they can somehow die of 'natural causes'. They completely ignored the whole power supply problem - especially considering the hard light thing - and there's no genetic material with which to create a clone; remember when Cat sneezed Rimmer's dandruff off the microscope in DNA? On the upside, this was the first time Cat's nasal alert made any smegging sense.
There is a way out of it. The genesis system could have programmable raw material that can be restructured based on the code of Rimmers dna, not the actual dna itself.
Some good jokes ("Or we could use the teleporter.") but the second half of series 6 is pretty weak in general and this is one of the worst, I think. It makes no sense at all - why would all the clones have Rimmer's personality when they didn't have his upbringing? - and by this point in the show, we've already had multiple episodes about how screwed up Rimmer is, so it doesn't even feel fresh
I’m sure this has been mentioned already, but I’d encourage you to stop before you reach season eight. And I say that as a big Red Dwarf fan. One of the writers left and you can really tell the difference.
"Or we could use the teleporter" is my favourite joke in the whole of Red Dwarf. The setup and timing is just perfect, just long enough for the viewer to forget about it.
"... And I said you were a shelf."
Is mine, but can't lie, this one is on the list of "my fave lines".
Mine’s the Blue alert joke from “Legion”! Gallifrey Girls never showed their reaction to it though… 😕
The whole Rimmer diatribe about haircuts and war.
'Crewe cuts both sides, no score draw.'
@@frankie3041 I have a feeling it probably tripped copyright because that's one of the handful of clips the Beeb itself always uses in compilations. Like there's a guy who's uploaded Not the Nine O'Clock News full series supercuts, and the only bit he's had to cut out is the Gerald the Gorilla sketch.
@@BlameThande For those of us who enjoyed that channel, the whole channel got bopped. Even the Everett stuff :|
I'm aware you've both possibly already recorded it, but if you haven't and you also happen to see this comment, try to keep in mind, that after the next episode, all of us who watched it at the time had to wait nearly four years! for the next series.
"Is it the product of a marriage twixt woman and gerbil?" - my favourite line. so brutal.
I love the joke of the extremely tiny worry balls that Rimmer has ground down over 600 years.😂
This created the most moral of dilemmas. Technically, she would be sister. After much consideration, i thought "what the hell, i just wouldn't tell her"
The clone? Sister/daughter. The distinction kind of breaks down when it comes to cloning, because it's genetically a twin but also literally offspring.
Funny that Kat referred to Rimmer as a Judas, when that’s his middle name. The J in Arnold J. Rimmer does in fact stand for Judas.
As Americans, they might catch benedict Arnold.
@@AlmightyCRJ That might make sense if his father was named Benedict.
Oh this show rarely fails to deliver fun. Wait until Tikka to Ride 😎. Thanks for enjoying this show!
I think "Balls on standby, sir" is my favorite line from this episode.

He is the manager of a Leisure Centre and has a number of staff he has to control and lead a rag tag team of in some cases miss-fits .

OK, that opening bit about the screen seems like a reference to my comment on Legion specifically. Even if it's not, I feel seen.
"...balls on standby, sir" is one of my all-time favourite lines.
"Your very own *personal* hell." One of my favourite Kryten lines.

So much I want to say, but it's difficult without posting spoilers. I thought this episode was good, but not as good as the episodes before it.
You'll notice a big difference when Rob Grant has left the partnership with Doug Naylor...
I think once you finish the series you need to watch the Smeg ups and Smeg out's out-take videos. Basically a couple of hours of them screwing up.
The Gals have watched the Smeg ups for the previous series they have already watched as bonus content on their Patreon.
