Red Dwarf X

Hurry up October the 4th, I'm eager to see this already :hyper:

Quote:

Red Dwarf returns to Dave in October with a brand new 6-episode series.

Here's Pete's spoiler-free review of the opener, Trojan...

When Dave announced that it would be making a new six-part Red Dwarf series after 2009â€™s Back to Earth, itâ€™s fair to say that many fans were cautious in their optimism; the three-part special had taken the characters down a much more dramatic route, and seemed to mark a shift in direction for the Boys from the Dwarf, one which took them away from their sitcom roots. Would Red Dwarf X continue this trend?

Re: Red Dwarf X

Not expecting much it went down hill rapidly once the nanobots rebuilt Red Dwarf and Kochansi was not played by Clare Grogan and then that Easter special was awful

Will give it a go in the forlorn hope its back to how it was

I must admit I am not expecting it to be very good but I shall watch it in the hope i'm wrong.

Looking at the title of the last episode maybe the whole thing is meant to have a conclusion which would be good.

Re: Red Dwarf X

Having been utterly disapointed with the specials a couple of years ago I was dreading a new series, but having seen a trailer it looks like they have got the magic back. Small sets and filmed in front of a live audience.

Re: Red Dwarf X

I went to watch the recording of episode 3, and i am pleased to tell you all that it's back to the likes of series 2-4 style comedy, it's sooo funny, you're going to love it i promise you

Kryten never broke character during the whole day, was really funny as he kept coming over to the audience to have a chat as Kryten

Thanks for that.. Everything I'd read and seen recently suggested that they were well aware of just how badly "Back to Earth" had bombed, so decided to return to what worked best, and your first hand confirmation is (as far as I'm concerned) the icing on the cake..

Stroll on October :)

Re: Red Dwarf X

I watched this last night. Seems to have got back into the swing of things. I hope they carry on just with the 4 main characters. Who is playing Holly in new series?

Re: Red Dwarf X

It looks like the next episode revolves around them trying to re-boot Holly. Could be fun :D

Re: Red Dwarf X

It's very clear that after the last abortion they listened to the fans. They have gone back to basics, studio audience and all. This was the best smegging news I've had since I got my job back!

Best of all, they're on form with the comic anticlimaxes, such as Lister's phone call in Trojan - after all that trouble, they hung up on him! Hilarious! And Rimmer's expression when he seized up had me on the floor!

It reminded me of Bodyswap, in which Lister (apparently) activates the autodestruct by trying to get a milkshake and a crispy bar from a vending machine, has his mind sucked out of his head and replaced with a woman's ("Why have I got male sexual organs?!") to try to abort the destruct, fails - and then all that happens is that the vending machine delivers his milkshake and crispy bar! Pure class! Boys From The Dwarf, yeah!

And they're not wasting any time getting the DVD out, are they? November 19th, is it?

On the other hand, who's complaining? That can be a Christmas pressie for me! :p:

Now if they can only get Holly back...
