I love Kryten, he's just great. I love the episode where they receive his distress signal & are tricked into going aboard, only to find his female crew mates are dead & rotting skeletons. I think it might even be called Kryten, can't remember, but it is really funny when The Dwarfers show their disappointment but Kryten just won't have it & then asks Lister how he knows they're dead & if he's a doctor! Brilliant!

I think thats a bit harsh!!!!! What actually happened was Doug Naylor was basically told that no-one would put any money into a red dwarf movie unles the show started to look a bit glossier an professional, hence the different filming techniques, special effects etc. An the stories involved more people an larger sets rather than an entire series being set on starbug, kinda like more movie orientated episodes, an it worked, he got the money backing, it just that the movie didn't come off for one reason or another. Last I heard was that Craig Charles had signed to corrie for another 6 months so think RD movie is now jus the stuff of legends...necronom wrote:I don't think the film will ever happen, and I'm not sure it would work now even if it did. RD started to go down hill when Rob Grant left after Series 6.
Shame Doug Naylor didn't stop to think that it was that sort of coffee break production style of show that made RD what it was!!!!
You can also see that while Rob an Doug worked very well together, they had completely different styles an ideas when it came to RD, to get an idea of this try reading "Red Dwarf - Backwards" by Rob Grant and "Red Dwarf - The last Human" By Doug Naylor. Both hilariously funny books and completely different to the series but both very different. Great reads though!!!!!
Retrotechy.

I thought Red Dwarf VIII was up there with some of the best episodes of the first six series. It certainly had some of the funniest lines ('the police don't like it when you get rat-arsed') and restored the bunk scenes. Red Dwarf VII is probably the weakest series of them all... BUT it's still more fun that most TV! I don't know about you, but I'd rather sit through Red Dwarf VII than Big Brother or X-Factor.
I think that they should have gone the whole way with the film look in Red Dwarf VII. They sort of went so far, and kind of gave up because they still had the canned laughter, which was added later. (Check the original Red Dwarf VII XTended video release if you don't believe me as this has three of the episodes extended with the audience laughter removed).

Or you could just buy the 3-disc set of series 7. That DVD release has all of the original and extended epiosdes. You can also watch the original and extended versions of Tikka to Ride in a 'remastered' form. Basically, they took out the crappy CGI and replaced it with CGI that is at the quality of what it should have been.RetroENZO wrote:I think that they should have gone the whole way with the film look in Red Dwarf VII.

Although with those shows they cut jokes to fit in FX.
