Time to ESCAPE!! | Red Dwarf | Back in the Red: Part 2 | S8 Ep 2 | Gallifrey Gals Get Dwarfed 

A few years ago I went to England for a dance conference. One day, going through the food line in the cafeteria for lunch, there was a young lady behind me. I said I wasn't sure what dessert to take. She authoritatively pointed to one and said, "Take that one." I don't know what made me say, "Yes sir, Mr. Rimmer, sir!" But I did. She stared at me for about two seconds then gave me the Rimmer Space Corps salute. We became instant friends.

You always want the Rimmer salute. Well you got the Rimmer Salute From Hell in this one!

"Blueberry muffins... Just like Martha used to make." - For some reason, the delivery of this line gets me every time. 😄

Best Rimmer Salute EVER! 'Permission to look smug sir!?' Chris Barrie is a legend.

I do like that Llewellyn plays reset Kryten with more of the original actor's RP accent vs his normal faux-North American one

"I'm back, and I'm bad! Obviously, within certain sensible pre-set parameters" is one of the most underapprecated quotes

Me and my brother always used to do the rimmer salute when we said goodnight. We still do it for goodbyes. Hahahahaha!

Only now realising how little sense that Dibley family joke made except for fan service

Chris Barrie would have made an excellent Doctor

Rimmer's getting ALL the 'coffee'!😂

I'm pretty impressed that you noticed that they all licked envelopes

Chris Barrie well and truly is back in this season, definitely making up for his absence for most of the previous season.😂👏

"Blueberry muffins, just like Martha used to make!" "Really sir? Did she shop at Tesco too?"

Glad Kochansky and Kryten had a little heart to heart scene there...

Stick around Gals, the roller coaster is starting...

The salute is the best joke this season

I've never had a problem with this series.

I actually really like series 8. There are a lot of ways in which they recapture some of the feel of seasons 1 & 2 and I love that. IMO it is the series 9 that is really the low point and that is really down to just one major directorial choice / change in production which ruins the experience for me and which they fortunately fix for series 10 and on.

15:38 "Lookin' baack on the traack for a little greeen baag." (George Baker).

The surprise puting the hand away after the salute.

If you want to see peak Christ Barrie comedy you need to watch "The Brittas Empire". It is not scifi but is an amazing show.

There's not a bad episode of The Dwarf , just some are better than others

Seasons 4,5 and 6 are the best but that doesn't mean the others are unwatchable. They are all great entertainment

no bad season, just some better than others. even the worst episodes aren’t bad. Yeah, it does get rough, but I bet everyone that says it went bad after some season was still excited to hear there’s new red dwarf in the works.

GREAT REACTION glad you enjoying season 8 so far :) looking forward to next episode

We all wanted a return of Dibley, and we got the whole family. What's next? A Red Dwarf Dibley crew? Planet Dibley? The Dibley dimension? And now we'll expect nothing less than a two minute salute to end every Red Dwarf video. :D

You can't see it, but I'm saluting you both right now... ... it's taking a really long time... ...annnddd done!

This is one of my favorite later seasons, as is one you haven't reached yet. I actually like the reset: our experienced cast colliding with the original crew. I remember being sad this wasn't the gepacho soup meal! Who'd have thunk that Kryten's outer covering was removable? I certainly never did!

Unintended consequence of the office was a reshoot - the muffin cupnhas a clear Tesco supermarket logo on it. 😂

Your salute at the end was so good lol

I can't believe you're on series eight, already, I can't remember how I found you but I've watched since you put out the first one. You've been doing this now for almost a year! :O

I was wondering if we were getting a RU-vid cut of "Star Trek Generations"?

LOVED THE DIBBLEY FAMILY!!!!!!! AND THE MUSIC WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

Wow, can't believe I'm just joining the party! You guys are awsome, Red dwarf's awsome too, what a team! I wouldn't say it goes down the toilet this series as there are still some absolutely HILARIOUS moments (don't want to spoil too much, but Krytens... episode 🤣🤣🤣) It's maybe weaker overall than say series 4-6 but it's definitely still just as entertaining!

I read that the doctor operating on Kryten used to play Davros in the original Doctor Who

Rimmer goes to make "coffee" with all those women

Elsewhere in the multiverse, this entire comment section is just a list of alternative music suggestions to Paula's comment at 11:50.

Another quality cat in the red video!

Inception before Inception

I'd recommend watching Blackadder if you are in the mood for something historical rather than sci-fi. It's got Mr Bean and Doctor House in it! And Chris Barrie, Rik Mayall, Ade Edmondson, Hagrid from Harry Potter, Stephen Fry and basically all the funny 80s and 90s comedians. If you fancy a change I'd really recommend it!

There is version of Backwards on RU-vid in which someone has played it backwards. In some places the dialogue is real so you hear what they said.

Oh, I've been waiting for you guys to see the salute scene. It's just *chef's kiss*

Love your reactions to Red Dwarf. I don't understand why people don't enjoy S7 onwards as much. S7 IS funny but yes I didn't like the canned laughter either but it IS still funny, S8 was rectified and filmed in front of a live audience again. I personally like S8. I suppose the only one I'm not keen on is the three parter of S9 if you can call it that. S10 onwards is still good, hopefully you can react to those too.

most people will recognise captain holister from another space / engineering / captains type role... and it would be fair to say that did not go well for him either.all but one of his crew got wiped out in that also.. hmmm...space huh what can you do dont know if others pointed outed out the computer face in this ? its kritens actor

Great video ladies. Wait till the dance scene. Chris Barry is very good at the fiscal comedy, as well as his copying voices excellent actor. Who doesn't like the scutters. Wish it was next week ladies.

Slightly off topic, but have you guys seen The Orville?

Chris was amazing to meet in person

You should check out Chris Barrie in the comedy series, The Brittas Empire.

Watching a British TV series and sticking two fingers up at the camera. 🤣😂

Say what you want but there are some really funny moments in this season.

I had to look it up, but that was Catherine Tate! I didn't know her yet when I first watched Red Dwarf so many years ago.

Great reaction video 😃. I'm really pleased you enjoyed this episode.

I wonder who remembers the can't Smeg won't smeg special episode of can't cook won't cook

This series really isn't down the toilet, it's just different. I like it. What I don't like is that "special" they did where the end up on 20th century Earth as fictional characters brought to life.

Seasonn 8 is not terrible, there's some good fun bits in it. There's more stuff that doesn't land though, and that's probably why it gets its reputation. Basically, it's a good season, but not as good as the previous ones, which is not surprising because the earlier seasons are just so good.

Chris barrie played the butler in angelina jolie’s tomb raider movies. Might make u wanna rewatch them now? Haha

Thumbnail says Ep1 Don't know whether to watch this before or after the one I watched last week Brain implosion imminent...

Didn't hear it mentioned but the crew walking toward camera in their Dibley disguises was a tip to Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino. And the tune behind them was Little Green Bag by George Baker Collection, used in the movie in a similar scene. Trailer with the walk and tune: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ju65gr9sUjk.html

The Dwayne Dibbley part at the end is awful. It makes no sense (why would disguising themselves as him fool the other crew members? It would just draw more attention to them), and how did Cat find false teeth and black mops just lying there? Even with a luck virus that would be a stretch. It's also not funny, it's a dated reference to Reservoir Dogs, and it's out of character for Cat. He hates Dwayne Dibbley, and wouldn't be caught dead dressing up like him.

Chris Barry is a treasure, and the only boy from the Dwarf I sadly never met....

Season 7 with rimmer issing for some and Kochanski being a main character and Season 8 - with the extra crew are mostly not liked because they are different. I personally liked them though. Its not unlike some people know what food they like and thats what they like to eat, others like to try new food. Season 9 miniseries though...... thats probably most peoples least favourite..... But i digress we still have a lot of fun moments in this current season!

Hiya SMEGHEADS! 😂😹👋🏻 This was a funny episode & even more so your reactions 🤣👍🏻👍🏻 🚀👨🏾‍🦱👩🏻😺🤖 See you gals next time, so smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back next week 🐟

algo tiiiiiiime!

I am a HUGE dwarf fan. Started watching it from the very start when I was only a young lad (I was 5 when it first aired and my parents loved it) Have proberly watched the first 6 seasons over a hundred times easily over the years. For me (and of course everyone has a personal opinion on the matter) once Rimmer left in series 7 and Kochanski came on board I didnt enjoy it so much so after the first 2 episodes of season 7 I was disheartened. I must say watching them again more recently I can see that they arn't as bad as I first thought but still not a touch on the first 6 seaons. Season 8 having Rimmer back was a huge upgrade. Having Norman Holly back is a huge thing as well for me as he was always one of my favorate people in the show. I would say - and you will see as you go on with the season (No Spoiler here) I think while there were still elements of the Clever humour of the first 6 seasons I think they came to rely on silly humour more and more as the season went on. Yes there were always bits of that but it seemed to over take the show. 'Season 9' Which is just a 3 part mini series really to me was the awful should never have happened season if there is one but then after a break season 10 onwards does seem to get back to as close to original dwarf as you can get and I think from then until now is very good. I also think going back to 6 episodes from season 10 onwards was a wise choice as 8 I think left too much room for the unfunny to sneek in. What I woudl say also is that you have the furtune to watch these with out a break. 4 years between seasons 6 and 7. 2 years between 7 and 8. Then 10 years before season 9. 2 years till 10 then 4 more tille 11 came out. Because 11 and 12 were shot back to back we only had a year between them. Then a further 3 years to the Promised Land 'movie'. Each of these long breaks made use want so much more Dwarf that (espesally after the 10 year break for seson 9 which is I think universally thought to be the worse season) the disappointment of the not so great Dwarf made it a hard watch. In saying all this even the worst Dwarf is watchable due to the cast being so great and being invested in there lives. I think you will have a much better expirence than those who watched in real time - just think thats worth keeping in mind.

I love Series VIII !!

The Back in the Red episodes are the best of Series 8. Pete is the worst. Rest are fine, at least on first watch. But Series 8 is still the one that holds up least well on re-watches out of all 12 (13) Series/Specials.

I think the emphasis on physical comedy and visual gags in this series is what never sat right with me personally... There's a lot of pulling silly faces and putting on silly voices in this series that feels completely at odds with the tone of the previous 7. It almost feels like a spoof at times.

Feeding the algorithm.

😂

I don't consider this series the black sheep others do. Compered to series 7 this is back to formular in a lot of ways.

Have you seen "The Brittas Empire" that's Chris Barrie, it's why he left Red Dwarf. His own show about a recreation centre manager... It sounds boring but it's not... Helen his long suffering wife is hilarious in the show.

Overall I think this series has some of the funniest moments in whole show but the episodes themselves aren’t as good. For me after these first 3 it becomes very eh after that

Red Dwarf at no point went down the toilet, every episode of every series was great. just like anything in life things are different, Its impossible for everything to be the same, some do not rise to the heights of others it doesn't mean they are crap, just maybe not as good. anyone who pans a series they supposedly love cant be a true fan.

Was the laugh track live in this season? I can't remember. I *do* remember how downright rediculous this got, and it's gonna get worse.

"Because it's mirrored it becomes a whole thing" - Yeah I've heard that from puppeteers who do monitor work (Some because of it being their first time doing monitor work so unused to flipping, some because they are used to doing monitor work but the production they're working on is flipping the monitors meaning they have to suddenly get used to non-flipped monitors) And, yeah, "Kryten is classed as a woman because he lacks a penis" is... Yeah that wasn't good at the time and has aged as badly as I was expecting.

I would love a series minus Dave with him in stasis, only having Rimmer and featuring other members of the crew. It ends with the radiation leak…does anyone agree?

Tbh, considering you didn't really like the laddish humour of early Seasons, I'm surprised you laughed at Lister using the sexual magnetism virus on Kochanski. I can believe Rimmer using it, but Lister's too moral. Especially when you're upset that Kryten said no to being reprogrammed, yet Kochanski didn't consent either. Seemed a bit rapey.

Chris barrie does even more physical comedy in a sitcom called brittas empire

The super long Rimmer salute at the beginning was improvised in front of the studio audience and Chris Barrie kept it going on as long as possible when the audience got louder and louder with their reaction. In rehearsal the salute wasn't really working and the solution was clearly doing it in front of a live audience and getting thier reaction. Also when the muffin is given to the captain if you look closely it has a 'Tescos' logo on it. Tescos is a supermarket chain in the UK

Gals laugh hard. Series 8 going well ladies ? Chris Barrie is good. Recommend you try the Brittas Empire, in which Chris does verbal comedy too.

The MO who examines Kryten is played by Geoffrey Beevers - better known to Doctor Who fans as The Master - on television, audiobooks, and Big Finish audio stories.

7:30 a quick reminder this is NOT the Rimmer you got to know over seven years. This is back to season 1 Rimmer before he worked out any personal issues or resolved any of his daddy issues

Boy, Chris Barrie was doing it all! And that was definitely the best day of Rimmer's life, hahaha!! Did the Gals mention that the actor resetting Kryten (Robert LLewellyn) IS Kryten in the full length reaction? Because he is! This is probably my favorite episode of the season!

For me the problem with this series is having the entire crew back, the isolation of the small group on this giant ship was part of the charm.

FYI.. the Rimmer Salute is an emote in Destiny2

This may have already been covered in the comments, but the hallway scene is an homage to Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. The Slowmo + Little Green Bag as a way of introducing the ensemble cast was a highlight of the season for me. I know that I am in the minority among RD fans, but I really like this season.

They just announced that they will be filming a new series of Red Dwarf in October 2024!! 😮

Chris Barrie models his on screen personality in most if his shows, actions and certainly voice on another British comedian named Kennith Williams whos voice and facial actons are like Chris Barrie after 20 red bulls.

I think VII is underrated but find it very hard to defend VIII. Luckily, it does get better again afterwards in my opinion, if rarely hitting the heights of Dwarf at its best again

I had the biggest crush on Chris Barrie ❤

what a great reaction!! im soo glad you found it funny!! more pls

I've been waiting like three seasons or so for this salute scene as I knew you would both love it. Might be different but it's still The Dwarf.

I still enjoy Season 8, even though there are more jokes and elements that don’t work for me. There’s enough of good things to keep me going.

There's no series of Red Dwarf I out and out 'hate', each one has its own particular charms. Personally I thought that series 7 was the show's lowest point*, and I actually thought that series 8 was an improvement in many ways, not least bringing back the live audience (and Rimmer, of course). I also thought resurrecting the crew was a neat twist. All in all I have a lot of affection for series 8. *So far. Wait until you get to 'Back to Earth'.

To my mind, series 8 is the weird tipping point between "still good Dwarf" and "okay, this show has run its course... please stop".

Noooooo! How could you put that Rimmer song in the intro!? It's going to be stuck in my head for days again now!

🙋‍♂️

The way this sort of implies Kryten is trans masc lmao happy pride😭

I just wish you gals had really committed to the salute more 🫡😂

If their acknowledging Kryten wasn't built until some date after the original Rd Dwarf crew dies... How come they have the software/equipment to reboot him?
