Having seen the trailers, Mr Llewellyn is one lucky son-of-a-diddly. Everyone else has been ravaged by time, but Kryten doesn't look a day older. :)

And Chris Barrie is feeding his habit by writing for classic car magazines. He recently wrote a piece on the Jensen Interceptor.

I saw a jensen Interceptor once in bits at tattons scrap yard up on their car lift. I dont know if it had a manual gearbox or not.

I was a little dissapointed that the episode was only 26 minutes long. Enjoyed it though.

Well, that was moderately enjoyable, but something about it looks 'wrong'; it looks too much like film for my liking. I think it could have done with being longer too; it felt too short at half an hour including breaks.
On the pro side, the some of the gags were very good (Rimmer reading a yellow and black book called "Astrophysics For Idiots" made me lol, almost as much as the sight of Kryten in waterwings.)
I shall be definitely be watching Episode 2 tonight. :)

Yeah, I quite enjoyed it - but I noticed something, if I'm right the original had a laugh track didn't it? Now I HATE laughtracks, but I found it was oddly quiet without it. I might be wrong, I may just have made it up in my head but it just felt a bit empty.

I'll catch the rest when they're repeated - I'm out tonight but but It's a jolly good idea and I think it's been done well.

Not keen on the CGI Scutters though I was amused by the 'Dave Lister' in the top corner.

I wonder what other shows they could necromance into exsistence??

Series 1-6 were done in front of a live audience and their laughter recorded. Series 7 was done entirely in a studio and then shown to an audience, whose laughter was recorded and then dubbed on. This was thought unsuccessful, so they went back to doing it in front of a live audience for Series 8.

They're on in a block on Monday night, I believe.

Apparently most of the set was CGI, including the skutters. I suppose there's no chance of a CG skutter poking someone in the eye or grabbing somebody by the crotch.
Ditto on the "Dave Lister" :)
So they've resurrected Doctor Who and Red Dwarf. Who's for Blake's 7? :)

Wasn't a bad episode but not as funny as the originals, although i suppose it was setting the scene for the next two which might have better jokes in them. Gotta agree with you about the laugter track i noticed it wasn't there and even though im also not a fan of them it somehow seemed wrong without it.
Also im not sure if im dissapointed by them making no attempt to explain what happened at the end of series VIII or not. It would have been difficult i suppose and by necessity a bit ridiculous, also im sure they were restricted time wise. Could of resorted to the star wars opening crawl again.

Glad it's repeated im supposed to be out tonight and didn't want to miss it.

The thing I noticed most was the panning. Old dwarf was all about the static shots, the panning made me feel like I was watching a space soap opera.... Oh and does anyone know why new Kochanski is ded? sorry, I refused to watch the last two seasons so am a tad out of the loop
