[docevi1]

I've heard it rumoured. I've heard it mentioned. I've seen the rumours dashed by Doug Naylor and finally, it's got a filming date!

how bloomin marvellous!

Doomed to failure IMHO, Series 7/8 were not worth watching, all the subtle humour was gone.....

sorry to see it hanging on so long.

It was going down hill and once Rob Grant left it was awful.

A simple formula of all blokes, crap sets and dodgy camera work was all part of the joke. Eliminating these things just killed it.

Well that and 3 series-worth of the same lines...

Will still see the film but agree that once the chole bird joined it was crap.

I'm afraid I've got to agree. And Chris Barrie deciding to jump ship thus relegating Rimmer to a cameo role, and then coming back as a completely different Rimmer later on didn't help either, nor did the concept of briging the entire crew of the Dwarf back.

As a died-in-the-wool sci-fi avoider, Red Dwarf was the only thing from this genre that I liked. I have to agree that by the end it was fairly awful though.

Things like the 'luck serum' were superb and it was the outright obsurdity that made it so good. Later series tended to rely on situations which fitted in with the 'space' thing, rather than just being good jokes in their own right.

Chloe Annett was a pointless addition.

I used to have a bit of a crush on him when I was younger.

I got series 1-4 on DVD for Christmas. Excellent stuff.

I would also agree, you can't beat the first 4 or 5 series. great british TV. but the last few where just OK.

OK she scrubs up well, but:

a) she added nothing to the comedy and,
b) there's loads of porn on the 'Net.

Kryton was the best character in the series.

Shame he wasn't in the first few.

[toppstuff]

Has'nt this rather missed the boat?

Red dwarf has fallen off the radar of all but the most geeky and is not held in the same affection as other classic sci-fi stuff like Dr Who.

Can't see many people going to a movie somehow...
