My kids grew up watching this. The 3 of them sat on the sofa reciteing it word for word . I grew old watching this. My grand daughter now sits with me on that same sofa watching it . My wife laughs when she watch's it ,and that do'snt happen very often .Even my dear old dad watched it ,God rest his soul . Every time the family are together at least one of them comes out with a quote from Red Dwarf at some point.Thats gotta says SOMETHING ,alltho i dont know what , Maybe we all need help.lol
LOL! Some are obvious but some are long overdue and some are both. I did guffaw loudly over the cats going for the pointer though. Like Cat playing with a piece of string or getting the food machine to keep dispensing fish, that's just classic Red Dwarf in action.
@@danfawcett88 no your sooo wrong...go an watch the special back to earth episodes, they didn't put the laugh track in for that and it's just wrong, besides I do believe it's not actually a laugh track but a live audience like it used to be, which is why they couldn't do it for the bte episodes because they were tryna keep it all secret.
It really does annoy me that the cats are wearing that particular style of hat. I mean these particular cats and their society haven't had contact or sight of Lister since he was put into suspended animation. They left Red Dwarf long before he ever started wearing a hat like that. Ok so I also need to bring up the aesthetics of these cats. These are cats who apparently no longer follw the original religion and thus its no longer a sin not to be cool. The Cat himself was an utter moron and didn't take any stock in the religion which is why he was so obsessed with preening himself and looking so utterly incredible... yet these cats who no longer follow the religion (and still clearly care about peoples ugliness) look like they have just come from a Conan the Barbarian convention. It looks like none of them have ever preened in their entire life let alone the almost 50% of the time cats are supposed to do so. You no none of these "cats" even move gracefully. Even while crawling through a cat flap a cat will still maintain a certain feline grace which is nowhere to be seen here. I mean look at this, our first ever view of actual female cats and what have we got. Frumpy stumbling balls of meh. Honestly, they look more canine than feline. Every cat here seems to have curly unkempt hair. Do you know how rare it is for a cat to have curly hair? The Cat Flaps... well, what a gag. Totally deserved the laugh we heard it getting because it makes sense, a race of cats who originally came from a vessel which had doors that opened automatically or at the press of a button and then subsequently built their own fleet of ships decided that it would be a great idea to build a type of door that while useful to a cat is only actually ever employed for the benefit of the human cat owner because the cat can't close an actual door behind them. It's almost like Doug is going for any cat gag he can without a care for the consistency of the created universe in any way. It's all about getting those laughs... nevermind whether it fits with the concept or even the stuff that came before. You want my honest image of a cat fleet? Grace and elegance in every corner. Each ship unique in its design and style just as each individual cat would be. Every deck would be strewn with languorous figures draped across plushly decorated surfaces designed with comfort in mind at all times. Automation on every aspect from the opening of doors to the distribution of food. Hanger bays loaded with hunting vessels of all shapes and sizes that use speed and agility to overpower almost any prey they can find. Each task that needs be done on the ship would be done by droids created specifically to do those tasks.
@@MrJackStill It is a comedy series and most of the other series had such inconsistencies but I had the same problem when they did. I mean don't get me wrong I'm a huge Red Dwarf fan but these are still points where improvement could be made. Honestly, I see it mainly as an issue created by the format (i.e. episodic tv show) as the books (Infinity Welcomes BTL and Last Human) were much better at limiting such inconsistencies. If it is all just for a laugh then why even bother having the narrative threaded throughout the entire thing.
"They also want to make the idea accessible to their imaginary audience of idiots" -Charlie Brooker. In regular sci-fi do humans make spaceships look like human faces? The teeth are too long, your actors can't say their lines right. The claws are terrible. And the graphics on the navigation computer, I thought we were over all that rubbish. In 2020 that's fooling literally nobody. We're not idiots. The good stuff: Tom Bennett, cat creation myth. Looking forward to seeing the whole thing.
It's also a spoof and parody of sci-fi. I loved the "ships form cat face" joke. The outdated graphics do have a charm of their own... The green and orange grading is in everything scifi nowadays so hopefully they'll send that up too.
So... how do they know where Red Dwarf is? The actual crew lost it for like 10 years or so and then after finding it again it was destroyed and magically rebuilt. It's not like it has been flying on a set course or anything. Red Dwarf had no cat flaps so where did they learn to make them? They have only pictures of Lister from their holy book which shows him wearing robes and no hat. Why are they all wearing hats which resemble his later one (which is very different to the one he had when the cats were on board Red Dwarf? Who built this cat fleet? What was it built out of? Did the cats develop the technology themselves or steal it from someone else? How long does it take to build such a fleet? I'm going to assume that Rob Grant was the one who actually cared about any form of consistency in the writing process because lets be fair Doug Naylor in his run as a solo writer has been rather poor at it. He was clearly the one who focused more on cheap and nasty jokes like ships forming cat faces and the likes.
