All of Red Dwarf is currently available on BBC iPlayer so I am rewatching it. Lots of things I had forgotten and very funny. I reckon it stands up as a Sci-Fi as well as a comedy.

Any other fans?

I heard a whisper recently that a new series may be being filmed

Years ago I watched quite a few of the episodes, but don't remember much about it. It is the kind of program that was picked up on the public broadcasting channels. (The channel in Dallas was the first one to pick up and run Monty Python.)

I Think there are episodes on You Tube, a brilliant piece of English humour

Famous last words, "Gazpacho Soup".

There is a clear message from the Gazpacho soup scene

"We had gazpacho soup for starters... I didn't know that gazpacho soup was meant to be served cold. I called over the chef and told him to take it away and bring it back hot! So he did... the looks on their faces still haunt me today! I thought they were laughing at the chef, when all the time they were laughing at me as I ate my piping hot gazpacho soup! I never ate at the Captain's table again. That was the end of my career. "

Some folk never realise that their posts are like sending the soup back...

Getting back to Red Dwarf itself I have just watched S7E6, the title of which is "Beyond a Joke" What a coincidence :-D

Yes, DtG, you have just proved that you are dimmer than Rimmer. Funny!

Up to series 8 now and the concepts keep coming. Last one I watched involved an intelligent and deadly virus that the crew were conversing with.

One of my other favourites was Firefly and last night we decided that Joss Whedon must have been a fan of Red Dwarf too :-)
