Josh you are gonna love the upcoming series' of Red Dwarf.. the stories all start veering towards time travel, video games.. all the stuff you like.. really exploring the fact that this is a sci=fi show and literally anything can happen.. it's like the writers finally realised :D

That is awesome about them making more specials. This show is great so it is awesome that they are continuing it.

After Work Reactions

Awesome thanks bud!

After Work Reactions

Yea I was excited to see them off the ship, that was pretty cool. Thanks bud!

Thanks bud, I have had a few people tell me about the books but I did not know they were on Spotify that makes it way easier for me to listen to, especially on the drive home from work. Take care bud!

Josh, I never knew there was audio books for red dwarf. They're on Spotify and I have just listened to the first couple of parts on the way to work. Very entertaining. Definitely worth reacting to on YouTube. The first part called taxi hopper is about 6-7 mins long and doesn't spoil anything about the show so worth listening to. Hope you add it to your to do list 😁

Good episode, nice they finally got off the ship, if only virtually. Wonder if Better Than Life was the inspiration for the game Real Life ? You’re right about the Van Josh, it was a 3 wheel Reliant Robin Van, same as on only fools and horses.

I do really enjoy this episode - but to me, this is one of the episodes that is let down by the budget. You can fool me that the beach is paradise! It looks so cold lol. Also, I'm not sure if you're aware but Craig Charles (Lister) said last weekend that they are working on some new 90 minute specials (one was meant to be released this year but was delayed due to covid). 33 years later and there's still life in RD! :)

You are correct that is lister in the space suit painting RD. If you look close you can see him pushing his face out so the camera would see him.

Thanks bud I will for sure have to check out the books as well once I get a bit further in the show.

After Work Reactions

I agree man I think this season is much better so far than the last. I am starting to enjoy the characters much more.

After Work Reactions

Oh man I bet that really stinks when it is super cold =/

After Work Reactions

Awesome bud, it is really starting to get good I am enjoying it alot =]

After Work Reactions

Thank you, this was a great episode I enjoyed it alot =]

After Work Reactions

Thanks man I will for sure have to order the books and check them out. I'll wait until I am a bit further but I do like sci fi books as well. Take care!

The books are worth reading (or rather listening too, Chris Barrie who plays Rimmer reads them - he was an impressionist before this in the original Spitting Image and he does a great job of the voices). It goes into more detail about the game along the lines you were thinking - but of course I don’t want to give any spoilers

So glad you found this one funny I love this episode 😁

Saul

I think this episode is where Red Dwarf really starts. Season one is underrated but slow, and episode one of this season has that terrible Kryten, so this is the point at which it starts becoming the show it's famous for being. It gets confident in itself, in the characters and their traits.

Adam C Turek

Apparently a lot of the outdoor scenes weren't too fun to film as it was freezing cold, also Craig Charles (Lister) had trouble hitting the golf ball for many takes even though he said he could play, its all in the outtakes (smeg ups). Also notice they revealed Rimmers middle name in Arnold J. Rimmer as "Judas"

Hannah

Best episode so far. You can feel it getting real now. This is where Red Dwarf finds it's zone. I'm glad we went through season 1 though...I think it was needed.

Mr K

Really like this one, more back story for Rimmer, definitely the type of episodes I preferred more on the show. As for why you'd leave the game. They go into it more in the book/audiobook.

Lawrence Reynolds

love the books so much, so funny and they really showcase the universe that Rob and Doug came up with

Jamie Murray

You should read the Red Dwarf books if you have time. They're really funny and make for really easy reading because of the writing style. Better Than Life might be my favourite.
