Red Dwarf REACTION | Back to Reality Series 5 Ep 6 | Gallifrey Gals Get Dwarfed | Americans React 

So true. I think cringe and shock comedy took over and classic stuff like this was sort of forgotten about. This is a truly great sci fi story.

It was my introduction to British comedy and British sci-fi and I’m still a fan of both.

@@menty6633 I think The League of Gentlemen and Little Britain and shows like that started come out around 2000 when Red Dwarf was sewing down, probably didn't help with the amount of time they were putting between series.

I’ve always said this about series 1-6. It gets to the point where the comedy is good, but it doesn’t even matter if it’s not that funny because the stories are genuinely good sci-fi. The upcoming series 6 especially.

It has a very good cyberpunk atmosphere

I remember this episode so clearly from watching it on TV as a kid. I saw Dwayne Dibley and immediately thought - teeth the druids could use as a place of worship. Just great comedy writing.

It's actually the highest rated episode of Red Dwarf to date

It's great, as is all of Season 4 and 5 but honestly it wouldn't make my Top 6 episodes from those two seasons.

+1 for this

And was in the brilliant Auf Wiedersehen pet

Who did he play on Harry Potter?

@@clasicradiolover Peter Pettigrew

Was also in "The Last Samurai", his son Rafe also has a long list of acting credits like Hot Fuzz and Life of Pi.

You forgot Auf Wiedersehen, pet

It's such a good thingthat such thing could never happen in this day and age Mayor of Los Angeles Eric Garcetti "snitches get rewards" March 2020.

WTF?? Moles died? That is so sad. I will always remember him as Miles or "Moles" from Electric Dreams, one of my all time fave films and songs!

I caught a few of your reactions to Dr Who during covid and it's great you found Red Dwarf , always look forward to seeing what you make of it .

"What the hell's happened to my teeth?!" Classic moment in Red Dwarf

Before he's turned into a catchphrase, it makes sense as character wise.

Chris was brilliant from the first scene onwards but to be fair to the others, Rimmer was the stand out character in those early series in my opinion

Exactly! We didn't know there were going to be more episodes, so it was harder to be sure they wouldn't pull that sort of switch. I remember thinking, "they're not really going to do this though." Then as time went on, "or are they?" One final rug pull? I was so relieved when we finally got to see the "improv class"!

Same here! Back then we didn't know there were going to be several more series. Was this the end? 😮 I remember cheering out loud when reality began to break through. I almost cried! 🎉🎊😁

Same struggle here.

Me too. It's hard to contain myself.

Lenny Van Dohlen was the lead in Electric Dreams??? Loved that film back in the day, the theme song is possibly my favourite pop song of the 80s. Never made the connection though only watched the film a couple of times mind, every day’s a school day.

I first watched both pilots back in (92 or 93?) with Robert Llewellyn showing them in a "Red Dwarf Fan Club" special invite at the Visions Convention, where he also showed the whole of Season 6 ( if I remember correctly, it could have been 5, but I think it was 6). He did great in the pilot, and, there were a few interesting things in the teaser-second pilot, things which got played out in the new season. Before that, when I met Craig Charles in Indianapolis in 92, he told the story about the police badge on his RD jacket. It was a badge he claims he had pawned off a cop in the US who had once pulled him over on the road. He could have been making it up, but he told the story well, and it was quite believable, as he was very much like Lister in person, from going out the night before the convention started, getting drunk, and having someone use his head to put out a cigarette, giving him a notable burn on his face, to the all-night pool party he had with Sylvester McCoy right outside my window, to the final day when he invited workers at the convention to the pub and offered to pay for a drink for them all, only later to admit it was being put on his hotel tab paid by the convention....

Spall isn't even from the Midlands.

Brummie actually derives from Brummagem. An old name for the town before urbanisation made it a city.

@@danielgallagher7949 Okay, I think what I put is a common misconception then.

As a Brummie born and bred I can say the Black Country accent is often confused with the Brummie accent. In Brum we call the Black Country accents Yam Yams due to how they say ‘You’ sometimes. To those outside the midlands they may sound similar but to the natives they sound totally different.

@@DaviniaHill He was born in London but he was famous at the time for playing a character from Wolverhampton in "Auf Weidersehen, Pet" The Birmingham and Wolverhampton accents are quite different but it's difficult for those from outside the West Midlands to tell them apart.

Lower Decks is next on our list after our Steven Universe reactions finish up! ☺️

sounds like the UK

@@UKJesterVids and israel.. the axis of evil...

sounds like Uzbekistan

​@@jamsea389 technically speaking the centrist capitalist USA is the most fascist nation that has ever existed... they just hide it behind a fake democracy of 2 parties instead of Mussolini's one party state

Hopefully by the end of the year America can return to some form of normalcy

GO GO GO GO 👏🫡✨️

And we'd had the *Better Than Life* novel which took the idea of being stuck in AR much further.

no spoilers

@@gregevigan There aren't any spoilers in my previous comment! I gave no details of any episode!

Oh my God! I'm a long time watcher of RD and I've NEVER noticed that! Nice catch! 😄
