Hitler... AGAIN!? No.. Just more Kryten | RED DWARF | Siliconia | Series 12 Ep 2 | Get Dwarfed

[@TxFl-j4g]

If I've said it once... I've probably only said it once then, but: If you want to hear Chris Barrie not just do an impression of Kryten but also Lister and Cat the may I suggest the audiobook for the first Red Dwarf novel, 'Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers'.

[@TxFl-j4g]

Found Part 1 on here on KZbin (who'd have thunk it)!?! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHybfZmNaseFrdkfeature=shared

[@clasicradiolover]

Yeah, it was excent. I was amazed at how well he did copying everyone's voices.

[@oldsouplegs7384]

I second that

[@BronyDanProductions]

Apparently, this episode was written to spite Craig Charles, Chris Barrie and Danny John-Jules for all the times they use to make fun of Robert Llewelyn at how long it would take him to get into costume and when he would remark at how uncomfortable it was.

[@OverworkedITGuy]

In all the interviews and convention panels, the cast always talk about this episode making them realize the hell Robert has had to deal with all these decades. They never realized how hard it is to be in the Kryten costume and makeup until after doing this episode.

[@stevegoldy2196]

It's always great to end on a Lister playing the guitar badly joke. My favourite was when they got Lister and the psiren impersonating him to both play the guitar at the same time and upon them shooting the psiren Lister asked how they knew it wasn't him to which cat responded "because that dude could play!" ha ha classic red dwarf. Loved the boys from the dwarf moment also, that will always get a cheer from me

[@CyberNatasha]

This episode was all spawned from the production of series X where Craig and Danny found some spare Kryten masks, used make up to match their skin colours and ran into the production office and showed Doug! 😂 I love the scene where Lister sums up Kryten perfectly. "You're all those things because you chose to be, not because we made you." Which is very true, while Rimmer didn't mind making Kryten do his duties, but Lister in the early Red Dwarf episodes actually didn't want Kryten being a slave. I guess in the end, Lister realised it was what Kryten wanted, so he stopped the protests.

[@me1735]

Apparently it was Craig Charles idea to call them the M.I.L.F's Doug Naylor and his son (a producer) loved it but couldn't think of what the I could stand for. So when they told Craig Charles they couldn't use his idea he then suggested 'Intergalactic' and I think they both kicked themselves 😅

[@AlmightyCRJ]

That's why there's no establishing shots for the fight transition - all the design work had MLF.

[@ZondaFRoadster]

Up until this point, the rest of the cast had joked around a lot with Robert Llewellyn about his discomfort in the Kryten costume, convinced it couldn't be as bad as he made it out to be. After going through the same experience for this episode, they all promised him they would NEVER make light of it again.

[@theorigionalvealie]

I was lucky enough to get studio audience ticket for this one, an experience I'll never forget! The warm up act (Ian Bouldsworth - who appears in episode 5) made a joke about being freaked out by all of the actors in rubber masks. So later on between scenes all of the actors in the masks (led by Kryten) snook up behind him and scared him while he was talking to the audience.

[@line_noise]

I was in the audience for this one as well! Not the best episode of Red Dwarf but still a fantastic experience!

[@JackRascal]

@@line_noise How much was recorded live for this one? I've read it was less than usual?

[@line_noise]

@@JackRascal It was a while ago so I'm struggling to remember. I think all the parts where the characters are out of makeup was pre-recorded (or vice versa). Obviously they couldn't switch back and forth quickly. Definitely the scenes with all the other mechanoids were shot live.

[@johnbarleycorn_]

This episode demonstrates how good Robert Llewelyn is at working with the makeup. If you watch the other regulars you see them trying to use their facial muscles and contorting the prosthetics in a very noticable way.

[@chrislawley6801]

As A life long Dwarfer from original broadcast I never saw this series Thank You both so much having discovered You several years ago ❤ xx

[@Bananahammock681]

I choose to believe the title is a playful "And Hitler showed up again" gag. Well played.

[@MD-1982]

Chris Barrie did the audiobooks on cassettes back in the day; he did the crews' voices really well

[@theyearsshallrun6641]

Enjoyed this episode much more on a recent rewatch. It’s a really effective story. As for next week’s…

[@ArtfromHell]

Never give Paula those fake fangs, it would be cuteness overload.

[@robalexander8065]

Good to see Kat's Cat teeth! A fun episode. Great to see Chris Barrie get a chance to impersonate Kryten. Chris was famously the voice of Ronald Reagan on the UK satire show Spitting Image back in the 80s. He is a really talented impressionist. Very enjoyable reaction, Gals! Thank you.

[@neilbiggs1353]

Has anyone played them The Chicken Song? I thought all the cast of Spitting Image contributed to that!

[@robalexander8065]

@neilbiggs1353 The rubber "cast" featured on TOTP but the song was performed by Michael Fenton-Stevens and Phil Pope.

[@AlmightyCRJ]

I'd suggest 'Da do run Ron' instead.

[@DannComics]

If Kat's gonna keep wearing the Catfangs can Paula start wearing Dwayne Dibley teeth? ;P

[@Someguyhere111]

"We can't leave Rimmer, we'd miss him too much!" Nothing a ride on the Rimmer Experience can't fix.

[@synaesthesia2010]

IF YOU'RE IN TROUBLE HE WILL SAVE THE DAY.....

[@bletheringfool]

All the episodes, including the Dave ones, are back on BBC iPlayer, so I'm rewatching along with you

[@djco5782]

Series XI and XII were made back-to-back but they still tweaked Kryten slightly to keep the tradition of him looking a bit different every series.

[@col4022]

Now you're near the end of the small rough one. May I suggest you check out another UK Sci Fi show called: the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I watched it as a kid it's from the 70s, I think. It's based on the book by Douglas Adams. It's very quirky and funny.

[@UKGareth316]

Based upon a radio show as the opening titles state.. although this is douglas where each version can be both considered original and based upon.

[@aaronmcmahon7462]

Baby, Don't Be Ovulating Tonight would be a cover version if Dave did it. It's mentioned in the first Red Dwarf novel, alongside "Press Your Lumps Against Mine," as two of the popular songs played at one of the bars on Red Dwarf.

[@AnubisX1]

another great reaction, Im sure this episode was done to make Danny, Chris and craig know what it was like to have all the kryten make up on. Since you love red dwarf i would recommend you check out the murder mystery comedy/drama death in paradise. Danny in that is really good.

[@JCech40]

Please react to Red Dward: Promise Land after season 12. It is an hour long special and it is worth watching

[@MalcolmWolf]

That is the plan

[@VonBlade]

My favourite day of the week, and only 4 more times to enjoy it :( Just because next weeks episode is beyond the pale.

[@beauxguss6321]

When Lister started to lose himself to the programming, he looked like Kryten's "spare head 3" the one with Droid rot. So he did a little impersonation of his own.

[@synaesthesia2010]

they actually came up with the idea of calling them M.I.L.Fs before they came up with what it meant. they couldn't think what the I should stand for and it was actually Craig who came up with ;intergalactic'

[@marblwrexbro458]

When you’ve finished all the Red Dwarf episodes, will you react to some extra Red Dwarf content on KZbin or are you saving it all for your Patreon? I, for one would love to see you react to Can’t Smeg Won’t Smeg from the 10th anniversary Red Dwarf night in 1998.

[@mconnaghan]

Another quality kitty conia video!

[@simonfrederiksen104]

Awesome - Gotta love the Dwarf - it will heal ya.

[@MikePerigo]

If you want more Chris Barrie once you’ve done The Dwarf you should check out The Brittas Empire.

[@polythenewrappedme6102]

Chris Barrie is good in Brittas Empire !

[@WarrenFahyAuthor]

I love you gals. I wish you would do more Star Trek TOS because I'm an old Fogie. xo

[@andrewcoates6641]

Heads up! Incoming information I was watching an episode about 2 weeks ago , and there was a short advertisement/ trailer that featured the usual long panning shot of a space suited figure painting the name on the front of the big red one but something seemed off about the image. It took me a few seconds to realise what I was looking at, then I realised that they have recreated the opening scene using the animated version of Lego. I don’t have any other information about this but I thought you two needed to know. Was it just a vanity project or is there an animated movie in production. Who knows?

[@dnf-dead]

Gals from the Dwarf 😂😂😂

[@simonfrederiksen104]

Lister playing guitar might actually mess with ovulation - But they don't have many women around.

[@faceofffan2643]

I'm so sorry that you have to watch Timewave. I promise that it's a one-off bad episode and the good stuff comes back in #4.

[@JackRascal]

I don't know whether it's the darker nights or what, but I keep falling asleep on Wednesdays these past few weeks and having to catch up on Thursdays. It's embarrassing, because you usually upload by 8pm UK time, so it's not like it's late. Anyway, I wasn't too keen on this one, but it seemed okay here. One big thing was that the big guest star in the show was James Buckley, who was famous at the time from The Inbetweeners. (I'm not sure if you'd enjoy that show or not, I might enjoy you reacting to it either way.) In the end he didn't really have a lot to do. Not quite sure why Cat's android body had to be black, and as good as Chris Barrie is at taking on other personas, it does, as you point out, flag up the limitations with Craig Charles, bless him. (And all the "Lister can't play guitar" gags, which are done to death by this point, looks daft when it followed last week's where he was competent.) Episodes 4-6 of this season are all fine/good (IMO), but next week is the one fans regard as the worst episode ever made. Even worse than season 8. can't wait to see you react to it.

[@tigrecito48]

if there are 2 options for me to pick something i usually pick the right option on the THIRD attempt.. so theres a one in 2 chance of putting one of 2 keys in the lock and i get it right on the third attempt.. or if i try to put my pants on the right way round etc.. dunno how i manage to get over the 100% failure rate.. but i do

[@EveryoneWhoUsesThisTV]

The working-class droids becoming socialist revolutionaries, compete with berets and all the talking points.... :D The equitable and fair post-revolutionary society was very utopian, which was nice.

[@bananasaregood8655]

Please say when you have completely caught up on red dward you will rewatch react to the very first episode?!

[@phatpolofish]

Not sure if you knew or if it's been mentioned before, Red Dwarf will be back in 2025 for another 3 episodes. The original writers have made up, one will be working on Red Dwarf prequels the other will carry on with the original cast. Thanks for the awesome uploads!

[@DavidSmith-cx8dg]

Life as Kryten isn't easy , Robert Llewelyn is so good every week with all that make up and the others found out how it feels in this one . The Robot rebellion is a fun idea all round . Kats - Cats teeth are a nice touch and hope Paula feels better soon .

[@mysteronix]

🧹

[@Capohanf1]

Don't cats have 8 nipples???

[@cole003f]

here at 41 seconds

[@Newbunkle]

Already cringing in anticipation of next week. 😬

[@WayneCoston-kj1go]

Let's not speak of what's to come next week...

[@archie7T8]

Oh smeg, what the smeg have they smegging done!!! I don't want to relive next weeks episode.

[@absinthe4breakfast299]

It's a funny episode Red Dwarf has never shied away from being critical of social trends, just because it's critical of modern sensibilities doesn't make it a bad episode, get over yourselves.

[@somerandomguy2073]

Christ, I have no recollection of the episode order, but I know exactly what episode is next based on this comment... Bloody hell. I genuinely might have to skip it. 😬

[@kubate683]

Another great reaction, thanks for that. Btw, you have a mistake in the title, it's for episode 1.

[@lepeltjecompleta]

can not wait for you girls to discover FARSCAPE .

[@absinthe4breakfast299]

Same here, I absolutely love Farscape, so many great characters, so many crazy story lines, I am shocked that it's not more well appreciated. I honestly think it's probably the best SciFi series ever made.
