Red Dwarf The Promised Land 50 Things You Missed | Red Dwarf Nerd

[@zephyr8072]

Rimmer becoming the cat people's new god is a callback to season 1 where Rimmer reacts with envy to the Cloister the Stupid story, saying that he could've been a god too if he had the right start in life. He finally got his desire.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

yeah, the big smeg head always wanted this level of fame, I just doubt he'll use it wisely! :-)

[@petefortune7018]

Rimmer looks at the audience before announcing how he is capable of criticising Lister! 🤣

[@RedDwarfNerd]

It's a brilliant moment, you can really see how the guys are now so comfortable playing with the camera and the audience!

[@AwesomeSaucerMC]

Something I enjoyed was Rimmer’s low power mode resembled what he was supposed to look like, being black and white and staticky

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Yeah, I really liked how they did it! Especially his voice going all low fi, I think the voice effect really sold it!

[@johnnypocketrocket]

Imagine what a cool movie the books: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers & Better Than Life would make.. Love the channel 😉👍

[@RedDwarfNerd]

absolutly! although I think the Backwards book would be excellent as well!

[@drdassler]

He doesn't just put the cig in his ear in the first episode, he does it when he's potting planets.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Your absolutely right, in the Aigburth Arms scene, well spotted/remembered drdassler!

[@mplum4796]

And doesn't he also do it one time when working the rounds with Rimmer? I could be mistaken.

[@w8m4n]

Oi, I wanted to say that lol

[@DJ_Maysonic]

I'm so glad they brought back Holly, he was the best part of the special

[@residentsteve]

It was great to see him back you can see him almost laughing at this bit.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Ha, I did nerd out quite badly to spot it all!

[@JM-cf8zy]

That was a good video thanks enjoyed that skippa, lots of info and stuff I missed from watching the episode.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Thanks for commenting JM, really appreciate it 👍

[@libradragon]

"But hey, he's back, kicking bottom or what?" Holly Rules!

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Absolutely! Although, TBH I like Hattie's Holly as well!

[@MsCholmondley-Warner]

I love your videos; great production values and you’ve spotted so many tiny details as any self-respecting nerd should 😉😃 I was lucky enough to get tickets to be at the second taping for this and it was brilliant. I look forward to seeing more of your stuff RDN!

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Wow, thank you! The live show must have been awesome! I literally logged in to applause store one day too late to apply for tickets! Now that was a smeg up! :-)

[@karonesalgado3313]

Do the same with the rest of the series, behind the scenes specials and the smeg ups!

[@RedDwarfNerd]

I'll see what I can come up with! :-)

[@MMalarky]

Nice vids man!

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Appreciate it!

[@MMalarky]

@@RedDwarfNerd Good to see you making videos again. I just learned you had another channel.

[@originaluddite]

Promised Land only came to Australian TV this month and I enjoyed it. One tiny qualm is that I had the impression Anubis was associated with jackals, not cats, but then maybe the Felis Sapiens just got confused. :)

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Your probably right, I have to admit I just presumed that part since it was a film about cat people! 😂

[@CinderFallenAngel]

As someone who wanted to study Egyptology, that got me too.

[@cameronjefferson1928]

I love Red Dwarf, but they are not many channels on youtube like this, please do as many as you can. There is one other Red Dwarf fan channel, but honestly I much prefer listening to you. You have a better narrative voice. If you get what I mean. Also, what do you think of the upcoming 3 part (60mins each) doc coming in August. I wish it could come earlier. But, beggers can't be choosers 👍

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Hi their Cameron, thanks so much for commenting so nicely and please accept my apology for taking so smegging long to answer! I'm a little puzzled why their arnt lots of big Dwarf channels on KZbin. I know the BBC are copyright mad, so that may be putting people off. I've seen the new documentaries and loved them, I think I'll try and cover them in the next few weeks!

[@cameronjefferson1928]

You know they now have a 1-8 blue-ray version on the old DVD, if posible are you able to do a original vs blue-ray comparison, that would be good 👍

[@RedDwarfNerd]

I'd love too, but their will be quite a few copyright hoops I'll need to jump through. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do! :-)

[@cameronjefferson1928]

@@RedDwarfNerd Great 👍

[@thomaslance5428]

I just recently discovered your channel. Are you sure those are Anubis statues? Anubis is the Jackal headed god. Jackals are related to dogs. You might be thinking of Bastet, the Ancient Egyptian goddess associated with cats.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Yeah, I think I got the wrong Egyptian god/s, trying to remember my primary school Egyptian studies is tough! :-)

[@MsCholmondley-Warner]

Excellent vid! Looking forward to more of your content

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Thanks #Kimberley, I'm hoping to get more out ASAP!

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

He sticks the cigarette in his ear multiple times in series 1

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Yeah, I should have been clearer, I mean just the one time that Frankenstein would have seen him do it.

[@joesycamore2899]

His guitar changed from a Strat to a Les Paul

[@RedDwarfNerd]

It's been almost everything, I'm gunna do a vid showing them all soon!

[@joesycamore2899]

@@RedDwarfNerd good idea

[@w8m4n]

Please keep going dude

[@RedDwarfNerd]

I will try my best

[@w8m4n]

@@RedDwarfNerd that's good with me. Love your stuff

[@MrWeedWacky]

Lister sticks a cigarette in his ear many times, he has one in his ear in the very first scene.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Absolutely, what I meant, but didn't say very clearly, was it's a reference to the one scene where Frankenstein saw Dave do it in the first episode. Thanks for watching :-)

[@MrWeedWacky]

@@RedDwarfNerd Uh, I just realized one thing! The reason the Wax Droid attack goes so horribly wrong: Mother Theresa is under cover in Rimmer's camp, she should really be in the evil fascists camp. But she is a spy!

[@owlsmol]

I like the nod to Microsoft Windows XP. Of course the other refs are great too. Unforgettable.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! 👍

[@kugelweg]

As I recall, Rimmer did NOT introduce himself as a first technician to Holly...he introduced himself as "acting senior officer". There's a big difference. Rimmer can be acting senior officer and still be a second (or first) technician because he would STILL outrank the other members of Red Dwarfs' new crew...

[@lister_of_smeg6545]

He specifically introduces himself to Holly as "First Technician Arnold J. Rimmer, BSc SSc". My guess is when forced by Lister in 'Officer Rimmer', he demoted himself to first tech as it was still higher than second tech, and he knew Lister wouldn't care as long as he was no longer an officer.

[@musicgal365]

I think he was a First Technician in the Red Dwarf novels. It might be a reference to that?

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Kenfoster Officer Rimmer was in season 11 but in season 12's 'Mechocracy' Rimmer almost promotes Lister to 2nd tech, which Lister say's makes them equal, So I think we have to take it that Rimmer returned to 2nd tech after 'Officer Rimmer'

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Musicgal365 Very true he is 1st tech in Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers.

[@marthastubbs8321]

Might as well Rank the episodes and series

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Good idea, I'll add it to my Rimmer'esq timetable :-)

[@marcelmoreau2733]

Anubis??? Dont you mean Bastet? Anubis is the jackal headed god of death. Bastet wass goddess of cats.

[@RedDwarfNerd]

You may have a good point, tbh Egyptology issnt my thing!

[@dunatyphon5416]

Wait a sec......Anubis was a jackyl headed god....... Bastet was a cat god.....

[@RedDwarfNerd]

Thanks for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it! 👍

[@VikingRhys]

Yeah some good nods there to previous seasons and at least Doug Naylor has the common sense to respect the fan loyalty base of the show and keep us entertained..... He scores considerably higher with that than certain other directors and producers..... Ahem, Star Wars..... lol. The promised land was good but I wonder how Doug and Co will conclude the final series for the Dwarfers? Several scenarios could play out; 1. The crew are destined to forever wander deep space. 2. They make it back to Earth. 3. Lister finally finds Kochanski and Rimmer finally becomes an officer. As for Kryten and the Cat, they have kind of both had their chance of going off into the sun set with Cat finally meeting the rest of his race in the promised land and Kryten finding the rest of the last mechs in Siliconia. So, maybe they will just remain with Lister and Rimmer. However it happens, I hope the Dwarfers get a good swan song that finally ties up all the lose ends. Don't get me wrong, I hope we get a few more series before that though lol

[@RedDwarfNerd]

My guess would be it'll all wrap up in a neat bow with happy endings all around back on 22nd century earth... and then a faulty drive plate will blow! :-)

[@paulwoodford1984]

I was so disappointed by the film. It was missing the quality of even series 10,11 and 12.
