Hey Paula, remember when you said "What if the rest of the show just takes place on the stupid bug"? … Well… Oh dear. 😂

I sniggered.

[@YagiChanDan]

It was a chuckle moment

[@ivaneames4354]

As soon as she said it I just laughed and said "Hey Paula, guess what happens in the VERY NEXT episode!" She couldn't have picked a much better time to say that. The only time that would have been funnier is if she said it in the intro to this very reaction.

[@OverworkedITGuy]

When she said that, it took every ounce of willpower I possessed to not spoil this season opener. XD

[@SteffBrockley]

Also when they said during Demons and Angels “They wouldn’t just blow up the model for that one shot would they?” Yes, they would and yes they did. You’ll notice the Dwarf didn’t appear in Back to Reality.

[@whobp8]

Among the wrecked spaceships in the asteroid field are models of the Narcissus shuttle from Alien, the Eagle from Space 1999, and a Klingon attack cruiser from Star Trek TNG. Craig Charles (half -jokingly) complained to Doug Naylor about Rimmer getting a romantic storyline in the previous season's Holoship while Lister wasn't getting any love scenes at all, so Naylor wrote the scene of Lister snogging the Psiren to get back at him 😂

[@andrewbowman4611]

You may be interested to know that the older female soldier in Lister's temptation was played by Anita Dobson, who of course played Mrs Flood in the recent Doctor Who Christmas Special.

The BBC in the UK once ran a RED DWARF night. It included a quiz between cast and fan club, a smeg-ups show, and "CAN`T SMEG, WON`T SMEG" a parody of Can`t cook, won`t cook presented by chef Ainsley Harriott who once played a GELF in Red Dwarf. This show was one of the funniest pieces of tv I have ever witnessed and you should search it out. Its so funny it hurts as Danny plays it as Dwayne Dibley. Laugh `til it hurts !

[@Fluffykeith]

Apparently the reason they don't have Red Dwarf in this season was that someone accidentally knocked the model off the shelf it was stored on, and it shattered into pieces...

[@jmkqfnvyl87]

Well maybe that or was it that they blew the shooting model up with pyros for “demons and angels” either way it ended up in pieces. . . 🎉

@@jmkqfnvyl87 Because Im a giant nerd...I did some checking and apparently....we're both right. So the model DID fall of a shelf and shatter into lots of bits... A second model was made to allow them to film series 5, and was then blown up for Demons and Angels....as Grant Naylor were being pressured to do more Holly stuff and Red Dwarf ship stuff...and they did an about face and decided to get rid of both for series 6

The reason for Series 6 being set on Starbug: Prior to the scripts of Series VI being written the model of Red Dwarf had fallen off a shelf and had broken which gave Rob Grant and Doug Naylor the idea to have the guys in Starbug searching for it.

[@PassiveSmoking]

I thought they blew their only model up for Angels and Demons?

[@gregevigan]

Great opening episode to a great season. I love every episode, even the couple which feel like returning elements of what we've seen before. Some nice cameos in those one, Clare Grogan (the OG Kochanski), Anita Dobson (Big soap star here in UK & of course tuned up in The Church on Ruby Road) & Jenny Agutter (actress who started when a child, The Railway Children, & went on to lots of other good stuff including American Werewolf in London).

[@Jimmer93]

Series 6 has probably the best episode of RD, episode 3! In fact, it won an international Emmy, which is amazing because the BBC said, "no you're not making it", so they did anyway.

[@ianjardine7324]

Actually Janet Street Porter who was in charge of BBC 2 at the time told them in her usual friendly charming way the episode was far too ambitious and there was no way they could shoot it in the time they'd planned. The boys didn't have the heart to interrupt her rant to tell her they'd shot it the week before and it was already in the can.

The Psirens would defined fit into the Classic Doctor Who universe 100% their designs are great

[@darkarpatron]

In terms of production, writing, the jokes and certainly the plots for each episode, Series 6 is my absolutely favourite series of the whole show.

[@Angelsilhouette]

One of the best parts of owning the DVDs of the series was the cast commentary. Hearing them razz Robert Llewellyn for never remembering his lines or needing other cast members to hold up sheets of paper with his lines on them, hearing Craig Charles talk about scenes like the bug kissing in Psirens or the head pop in Justice, or the other cast members alternately praising and being annoyed with Charles' ability to read the script once and have it memorized. After watching the series so many times, it was great to watch it again with their reactions and commentary.

[@timidwolf]

Don't forget, they blew their only prop of Red Dwarf in the last series. As for Holly, they kind of shot themselves in the foot when Kryten joined as he basically did the same job as Holly plus the physical humour.

[@JohnDoe-vy6ju]

Remember how Camille inverted the trope by being totally chill instead of playing it the usual way? Well, say hello to playing it the usual way, care of The Psirens. Nice to see you reboot your background in alignment with an aesthetic reboot for the show. Since the show was coming back from hiatus/the failed attempt to launch a US and/or movie version, this is by design a new "first episode" and the second best onboard point for a new fan after the literal first episode. Holly, and Red Dwarf itself, disappear in the overhaul, and the "Boys From The Dwarf" era begins. There's more signature recurring gags from here on out (including but not limited to the "Space Corps Directives") and more Star Trek TNG parallels as they're forced to explore (scavenge) like never before. All time top 10 episode for me. It's always one of my favorite gags when the crew stumbles into accidentally saving the day through their flaws. As such, catching the psiren out because it's too good at guitar is a top Red Dwarf moment. And yes, that was THE Jenny Agutter as Dr. Mamet.

Fun fact for this episode: Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music provided the guitar playing for Psiren Lister by standing behind Craig Charles and sticking his arms through his armpits to play it. So I guess in his mind, Lister is as good as the guitar player from Roxy Music

[@LamirLakantry]

Ah. I always thought I was missing the episode where the Red Dwarf got stolen. We didn't have the show where I lived. My grandparents would send us VHS recordings of the show taken from TV. There were even some episodes that stopped half way through because that tape reached the end before the episode was done, and it went years before I got to see the whole episode.

I remember Charles, Barrie, Llewellyn, and John Jules talking about that in the commentary track on the DVD.

[@beauxguss6321]

It's actually quite surprising how many little things from the early episodes get called back later. For instance, in Me^2, Rimmer says of his copy, "what a guy". Which ends up being the reaction everyone who ever meets Ace Rimmer has instantly. There's even a line from the flashback in Balance Of Power that will come back later this season. (No spoilers, I'll let you guess when it happens).

There is an interesting back story in the form of a short graphic novel. It explains how Red Dwarf was stolen and should be still available online.

[@mattclemson]

If you're surprised that Red Dwarf isn't in Red Dwarf, read up on Taggart sometime. Scottish police procedural centred on Jim Taggart, ran from 1985 to 2010 (with a pilot in 1983). Mark McManus, who played Jim Taggart, died in 1994. The title referred to a character who wasn't in the show for more than half of the life of the show!

[@ihateunicorns867]

I remember they repeated it, but played the episodes in the wrong order which really annoyed me.

[@BiggestDawgEver]

That's probably largely due to the fact that there was the longest break up to this point between Series 6 and 7. Partly because of Grant and Naylor's falling out and partly because Craig Charles had to go and serve a prison sentence.

BBC2 in the mid 90s could justify it's existence to the BBC board by saying "series 6?"...every year from '93 onward

Season 6, for me, might be peak Dwarf. It was the sweet spot where the cast was very comfortable in their roles... the writing was still great and the effects and production design was much improved from when the show began.

[@JackRascal]

First one I've seen where you're in the same room. 😀 I did enjoy hearing a Scheiße. S6 is decent, and production-wise (if people want that from Red Dwarf) it's the best the show ever looks. But I'm amazed so many people regard this as a "peak" of the show. I guess it is if you like gags about Kryten's head and Space Corps directives as - spoiler - there's about 50,000 of them to come. It's very much "gag per line" instead of characterisation, which gets wearying. Grant-Naylor would never have stooped to a "I didn't know they had a duty free shop" gag in their prime, and while most of S6 just about gets away with it, you can see the wheels coming off, sadly. If it was a peak of Red Dwarf, Rob Grant wouldn't have cleared off after it was over.

[@djco5782]

Did you spot the retcon of the Lister/Kochanski relationship? With this episode, she goes from being an unrequited love to an ex-girlfriend who dumped him after three weeks. An example of continuity from the novels (which I highly recommend, btw) making its way into the show, as Grant and Naylor thought Lister's original attitude toward her was immature, and that it would be better if he were pining for a relationship he'd lost rather than one he never had. Also, between S5 and S6, there had been an unbroadcast pilot for a US version of the show featuring Robert Llewellyn (with the Cat played by Hinton Battle, who sadly passed away yesterday), followed by a 10-minute promo, which can both be seen on YT.

[@Johnny_Socko]

I hadn't heard that about Hinton Battle, what a shame. One of the "Behind the Scenes" Red Dwarf videos had a lovely anecdote from Danny John-Jules. He said that when the cast heard about the US version of RD in development, of course everyone was cynical. But when the news came about who had been cast as Cat, Danny was taken aback. Hinton Battle had been a major inspiration to Danny in his life & career, and he (Danny) said something like, "It's a pretty amazing thing to have your own role model perform a character that is so close to your heart."
