The Canaries Meet Cassandra | Red Dwarf | BBC Comedy Greats 

*silver

It's only because we've all had that thought.

The look on Rimmer's as well.

That 'Yay' was golden

"Says it right here in the script" The Muppet Movie

Only lister, kryten,the cat and kochanski survive.

Made me go YESSSS

@@abbyalphonse499 and arnold

That's disappointing, Im judging if I'd like it or not and though it seems that it has humor, not many chuckles.

* only good one of that season

season 8 wasnt very good. it didnt continue many of the story threads from the previous seasons.

@@jamesmeppler6375 This is more of an establishing scene than a comedy scene, so the jokes are less dense. The episode strikes a good balance between comedy and exploring the idea of predestination. Has a killer ending, too, which I won't spoil.

@@petrie911 no spoilers?! Lol thanks, these clips make me want to find it.

I liked her on Mulberry.

She was superb as Lucia Pillson in Mapp and Lucia and as Mrs. Proudie in Barchester Chronicles

Don't forget 'Oranges are not the only fruit". I fell in love with her in that,, and the late Charlotte Coleman.

She looks and sounds like she is enjoying herself

@@onawal931 I had forgotten all about that show. Now I need to see if that show is available on disc to purchase and show my wife.

MediEvilFan 147 Not the series, just the season, but I thought it was pretty good

Wasn't too bad, apart from how it ended

Mostly the juvenile sexual humour which dragged the integrity of the show down, Rimmer bonking every woman on the Captain's staff and the prisoners paying to perve on women in showers is something that belonged to those shithouse American frat boy films, not Red Dwarf.

it is a great season

Same here, I love series 8! However it was the first Red Dwarf series I saw, when I was eight years old, so it has a lot of nostalgic value for me.

Adam Santer this is where you share your theory with your crew mates

Techincally in a blowjob situation the teeth are....more of a problem. No one likes bitemarks on their thing

she´s a very unique woman!! and i mean it in the best possible way.. i love her as miss marple!!

Reminded me of David Coleman

She sure was. Sadly missed😢

Hope I live, long enough.

I'll bring the beers

Need someone to comment every year to keep the sequence going and remind everyone!

Just checking in to keep this comment relevant. Hello from the hellish dystopian hellscape that is 2024...end transmission.

Check out the Red Dwarf special

I think it would have made the show too sappy - it was written to be a sci fi comedy, not a romance and whenever the plot strayed towards Lister/kochanski relationship the comedy faltered!

@@Bongwater33 that makes sense. Afterall smwg head and lister got on eachother's nerves which created comedy. Kochanski was hot tho.

If he read it on the mission directive then it wasn't a theory.

They have the same name too! XD.

This came out before

"It's moisturize me" and it's the voice of Zoe Wanamaker as "Lady Cassandra" one of the last "true" humans left (in an episode that takes place in the future where the sun is finally expanding resulting in the earth being ROASTED.) she is also by no means somebody with any special abilities, just a piece of skin streched over a canvas to continue "living" if you can call it that.

Let's face it, the current Who is very low bar. In fact, it's subterranean.

Especially now, it being LGBTQ written to death by RTD.

yep best character

TOPKEK!

I never said you would.

Saturdays lottery numbers….

Series 8, episode 4 ('Cassandra').

The seasons with Kachinski were the worst. All rest are awesome.

ProcolHarum1967 Quite a few things - well known actress.

think she was the mother in my family

She'll say no.

When? It's been rubbish ever since Rob Grant left.

I never understood ALL the hate that series 7 got, but I understand about series 8. I remember watching it on original transmission and gave up after the 2nd episode. Series 6 will always be my favourite.

Oh, the predictive command response computer? Little different because that's supposed to be guessing what users will order based on personality data, not actually seeing the future. But yes, a little too similar, too.

There's a season 10?

@@adamnfiddle8065 and 11 and 12

Where have you been? There's been 3 more series since Back to Earth and there will be a series 13 filmed in 2019 so you've got some catching up to do @@adamnfiddle8065

What's awkward about it? Red Dwarf has repeated many concepts at this stage like the clones of the crew that have different personalities or the time travel plotlines that are paradoxes, this falls under the computer that has become more a hindrance than a help you best stick Queeg in with that category too then.

Who? It's a British thespian called Geraldine McEwen who became well known on TV after this for playing Miss Marple.

@@optimisticwhovian1726 She was one of those actresses that turned up in a lot of things and was always brilliant but didn't seem to get the attention she deserved, until, as you say, Miss Marple.

@@zacmumblethunder7466 The prime of Miss Jean Brodie too.

I agree

I preferred Clair Grogan in the part.

The trouble is that the entire project was a mens' space. This had advantages and disadvantages. There was generally good camaraderie between those involved, and disputes tended not to last long. The disadvantage was that introducing a woman to this environment after so many years altered the atmosphere. They're all clearly working hard, but Chloe Annett and the rest of the cast just don't seem to gel very well, and the writers seemed to struggle to write a female regular cast member. It doesn't help that what we knew of Kochanski's character had already been established as an idealised version in Lister's mind. The later version had very little to do with the original character, from her accent to her behaviour.

Picking logical errors in Red Dwarf is a pointless exercise since just about all of it has logic errors, Rob and Doug were incredibly sloppy about logic and continuity so I wouldn't start feeling too smug about it Rob Grant openly didn't give a flaming fuck about consistency.

I disagree with point 1. To predict the future, of which she is a part, she would also need to be able to know which question she will answer even if it were not spoken aloud. Which in this case it was, a few seconds later. I also disagree with point 2. If he wouldn't have died if not for the self-fulfilling prophecy, then it is just murder. Pre-mediated in this case, because she must have known. What puzzles me is why they even need canaries when they have a computer than can already predict their uselessness.

You may be overthinking Red Dwarf

Also all of the Canaries can't die if four of them survive. That exchange made no sense.

since it's all one big parody to sci-fi genre, it makes perfect sense to me :D

There was no mom in My Family. There was a mum though.

Duno how you could get those two confused, their voices are completely different, the woman who played Cassandra in Dr Who was the same woman who plays Madame Hooch the broomstick teacher in Harry Potter. Geraldine McEwen went on to play Miss Marple after this.

No that was Zoë Wanamaker

@@optimisticwhovian1726 I wouldn't say they're completely different, they're quite similar.

Dun dun dunnnnnn!

He was still intending to say it though is the point she just put him off

If Mrs May could have seen the future she would still be PM.

1999 was full of that stuff I swear.

Sorry, no it isn't. This Cassandra is Geraldine McEwan. Cassandra from Dr Who is Zoë Wanamaker

@@Trev359 aw damn

Aside from series 7 (this is from 8) and Back To Earth, all Red Dwarf was filmed in front of a live audience. Not a laugh track.

@@austinseven4720 live and learn! Thank you.

That's your opinion not fact, whats funny is reliant on the person's own sense of humour. This is no different from any other series in terms of the style of humour you're just biased because youre yet another nerd boy who didn't like them having a woman on the team.
