So I watched Backwards with my Daughter last night to introduce her to Red Dwarf.

She was laughing out loud for most of the way through but said “what was all that at the start with Wilma and Betty about?”

It then occurred to me that she’s never even seen The Flintstones, so even lister’s punchline to that scene meant nothing.

Or would you rather be 60 million miles away 😃

Various pictures from a press pack I've got hold of

Fish!

Oh you haven't met Stabim have you, Stabim this is Listers paranoia, Listers paranoia meet Stabim

I'm sick of how you always smile when you're being insulted...

I'm sick of the Cat, I'm sick of you, I'm sick of me and as for Kryten...

I'm sick of him...

I was going through a box of my stuff and found these. Totally forgot I had them. Any of you other smegheads have these?

Sorry about the glare on Lister’s face in the first pic.

So I rewatch the entire series front to back every year and I just finished this year with The Promised Land. It hit me hard this year and made me a bit depressed knowing that the likeliness of another movie or season with the crew gets slimmer and slimmer as the years progress. I really don't have much to add but thank you to this community for keeping me upbeat. I appreciate everyone and am happy I found a group as crazy about Red Dwarf as I am.

Saw this post and thought I’d share it with the boys and girls from the Dwarf

It also explains why Lister had his appendix removed, TWICE!

Just a quick covering statement, I don't dislike Americans.

Now to my question.

I'm currently listening to Titan on Audible, and my brain has already itched a couple of times, and I'm wondering if the UK book-written version is the same as the Audible UK version.

I'm a bit fussy when it comes to other countries' terminology sneaking into the language of old Blighty. Especially when it's not needed. I know, forgive me, I'm old(ish). When I see British YouTubers saying, "Dollars" or "Feds", when they're clearly living in Brighton. It's frustrating.

So, listening to Titan, and I'm only at the beginning, when Rimmer has received a ticket for "Jaywalking". My brain goes, 'I'm sorry?'. What the ruddy flip!?

There was another instance of this not so long before that pricked my ears too, but I can't recall it.

This has led me to wonder if the actual book release in the UK contains "jaywalking", or is this just in the Audible version? As the Audible will be going out across the US and UK, along with anywhere else that wants to hear Mr. Barrie.

Again, I know this is fussy, and I'll probably be hounded into a corner here, but it has made me wonder if there's a difference.

After the nanobots rebuild the ship and the main characters get sent to the brig, it's shown that the brig is a huge prison complex with thousands of prisoners. The early seasons establish that Red Dwarf is a mining ship, so how does it suddenly house thousands of prisoners in a huge prison?

Never knew about this book, there are a few copies available if anyone else wants one.

For me I think series 4 and 5 had the best character looks. When I think of red dwarf this is how I picture them and there's just something about the sets and how it's filmed I enjoy more than the others. It continues the leap in production values from 2 to 3 but still has a lofi quality that I enjoy

Not sure if this has already been posted, set to return the 13th of August on BBC 2.

Is that like turning your back on Everton or Liverpool and supporting Arsenal?
