You just summed up how I feel when I hear the original opening, it always sounded/sounds quite 'sad' and empty, in a really good way.

Absolutely spot on.

How did this ever come about to be played on such a concert hall program? Amazing. I love it.

[@hillyholly9004]

There is a huge red dwarf fanbase in czech, so probably pretty easily actually

[@marysbahr4386]

@@hillyholly9004 Thanks for letting me know. Maybe if more countries would have such a fan base there would be a lot less wars. To me, the only thing that would add a cherry to the top of this delicious pie, would be if a real black cat happened to wander on stage.

[@chillyczeify]

@@marysbahr4386Czech and British humour have much in common. During World War II, Heydrich called the Czechs laughing beasts. It's a very sarcastic and intelligent type of humour. A few years ago I met an ambassador from England who gave some talk about cultural similarities. He talked about red dwarf and Cimrman. Similarly, in Japan there are giant funbases.

[@iLUVtwoSPOOGE]

Because Red Dwarf is epic

[@donmccullen1973]

Howard Goodall is a Classically trained musician after all.

[@peterdefrankrijker]

I love classical music, especially when it’a from three million years in the future.

[@ArtyDarth]

Brought tears to my eyes. I started watching Red Dwarf earlier his year, and I was absolutely shocked that this show has never aired in Germany. It's practically unknown here. Meanwhile, other countries celebrate that show and treat it like a part of their own culture.

[@jeffmace714]

The books are available in german as Roter Zwerg. I think they are all as one edition.

[@maxdangers]

I'll tell you one thing. I've been to a parallel universe, I've seen time running backwards, I've played pool with planets and I've given birth to twins, but I never thought in my entire life I'd taste an edible Pot Noodle.

[@gabrieldarcy9067]

I've always wondered; if the white hole erased the time it spewed back into the universe, and therefore the events of the episode technically never happened, how did Lister remember the bit where he played pool?

[@Anarchist86ed]

​@@gabrieldarcy9067 Red Dwarf has a LOT of continuity problems. Like how are they 3 million years from Earth yet keep stumbling onto derelicts, simulants, gelfs, and everything they knew from back home. If they're really that far away, they would never encounter anything they know. How did Kryten end up that far out? It's all a big mess. Try not to think about it.

The original theme was ominous & lonely, perfect fit for the first seasons.

[@JudgeBane]

Agreed. The theme for the first two seasons was the best.

[@jr5925]

@@JudgeBaneI think the second theme better captured the feel of the show.

[@RadagonTheRed]

@@jr5925I totally agree. The theme for the first two seasons was great but a bit too ominous for the feel of the show.

@@RadagonTheRed Thus the need for the Electric Guitar theme that would open the show starting with Series Three.

​@@RadagonTheRed maybe so but Goodall's aim was to let the comedy do the humour, and let the music set the scene. I think it was a brilliant move. :)
