Red Dwarf

Allright, UK bretheren, news has it that BBC will be airing 3 new episodes of Red Dwarf, titled "Red Dwarf: Back To Earth" starting on Easter Weekend, April 10.

Red Dwarf

No doubt stations in the US will be running really important stuff, like "Nancy Pelosi, 10 steps to bankrupting your state and getting a 757 as a reward", reruns of Charlies Angels and National Lampoons Easter Vacation.

Since webcasting is questionable, I implore someone, anyone, to record these no doubt destined to be historical episodes for those of us here who got really POed by the season 8 cliffhanger.

Should have been canned after series 6. The first two episodes of series 7 were pretty good (Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas!) after that.... shark jumping time.

I don't hold much hope for this new one. I'd give anything for it to be a triumphant return to former glories, but I can't see it somehow.

PULL IT TOGETHER MAN!

wing ding doesnt cry.

*slaps the wingding

It's true, our former glories are but a distant memory....

Edit for spelling.

My family. Somehow I think you might connect with the eldest son in that show.

Babylon 5 was probably one of the most intelligent series on TV, sci-fi or otherwise. It hasd so many messages about the modern world i found.

I personally liked the message that having sex with an alien is ok! But that's just me.

NH, the programme you were thinking of was Little Britain. Quite a crass and appalling product IMO, not at all representative of British TV output. I personally find the programme quite insulting, one or two sketches aside. There's a fine line between laughing with someone and laughing at someone, they opt for the latter.

If they were two heterosexual blokes, they'd have been hounded out of television long ago.

the first 2 or 3 seasons were hysterical.

Then they went steadily downhill just like everything else. The premise got old and you stopped believing in them being THAT ignorant or just plain silly.

They did not spend enough brain power to come up with other things that would be completely foreign to an alien but are as common to us as breathing. All the easy/obvious stuff was taken and you just could not be zany anymore......

Whatever. Like I said, I liked it but it jumped the sharks mother.

Hmm. I was hoping it would get better. It had SOME funny bits in it, but it seemed to concentrate on annoying and pityful people and trying to say that f-ing your grandmother is funny (it is, for about 3 seconds, but they kept milking it).

I don;t get the flash here at work TS, but I will have to check it out.

American TV is getting so overstuffed with "reality" and contests. My wife loves "Dancing with the stars" and can't understand why I don't want to be in the same room.....

League Of Gentlemen was funny. Brass Eye was also a classic.

It was so poor, you only got the one.
