Was looking for some RD pics on google and came across proof positive that even season 8 had some hilarious moments:
That's when Kochanski was not and not that 80s big haired scottish girl lol
Just watched episode 2. Even funnier than the first. It;s good to see funny RD back. Back to Earth was far more serious than it should have been. I barely laughed watching that. Though the brilliant way they justified the use of 80's videotapes being used in the future was genius.
I liked BTE but I agree, this new series captures the spirit of the original much better. :thumbsup
BTE was going for the fans and the sci-fi fans. I think the average person would have been lost in all the Blade Runner homages.
It was going for scale but lost the humor.
Lucky I'm a Blade Runner fan then! :lol
I really enjoyed this episode with the exception of two things. Wallace & Gromit and ebay being mentioned felt a bit too much like they were trying to be current. I felt those mentions should (if they be included at all) have been elaborated on to establish past history. Like when, in Marooned, Lister says, "Everyone remembers where they were when Cliff Richard was shot."
We need a lifecast of Chris Barrie's head so we can make the Rimmer puppets from the Rimmer experience. I hope they put this season on dvd when it's done.
Surely the groinal exploder would not have worked anyway, since Irene invented it?

Sorry O_B, had to get them on my own, you know me and my hard drive situation. Finally picked up a new one.
I never did see the Back to Earth episodes though...Anxious to get to those.
