100% agree on the critique of Kochanski v Kryten. Kryten has been around women before and would probably understand stuff like “don’t iron bras” from his time on the Nova 5

[@Escapee5931]

Surely bras will be outdated technology by then - replaced with anti-gravity nipple rings or something?

[@stevenr6397]

its actually esablished that Kryten deleted much of his unused knowledge to his 'trash file' because a ton of it was irrelevant, that would likely include such details, and much of his personality was built AFTER meeting the boys so he hasnt needed to know that stuff in a very long time. ASLO from a writing perspective its a new angle they have never got to use before and its a source of tension, the cat would never vie for Listers attention he would be far more interested in impressing Officer Bud Babe and trying to sleep with her, but they wisely held back there as that could get creepy. it also leans into one of the thing that guys face upto a lot that I dont think affects women that much, when guys have a mate who meets a girl the guys know there is every chance they will hardly ever see him again after they get serious, men cutting their freinds out to please their woman and causing animosity is a serious thing to guys, and here they get to make a mother hen joke out of it too

This is my favourite episode of series 7 without a doubt! The song at the end was hilarious, so was the Rimmer/Lister kissing scene! Fun fact, I read somewhere that one of the reasons the kissing scene happened was because the writers were playing a joke on Craig Charles (Lister) who had previously complained about the lack of kissing scenes he had!😄😄😄

[@GedUK]

One of the strengths of British comedy writing is that it's usually written by one or two people, rather than a writer's room that US shows tend to use. This helps keep characters tight and consistent. On the flip side, when it's one writer on their own, they can get an idea and run with it, and there's no-one else to tell them that maybe it's run its course, as we see with Kryten dissing Kris all the time. If they were still a writing pair, the joke would not have run as long as it did.

its gonna be stuck in my head all day now! thanks :P Also the reason it was in Fahrenheit is because this was made when the UK was still mid-late transition, the older generation was still using it lots etc It wasn't until the turn of the millennia that it really stopped being used pretty much at all.

I believe the story behind the kiss is 1) The writers knew about slash fiction being passed around at conventions and online so thought they would give them something for the fans 2) When Chris Barry got to kiss Jane Harrocks as the hologram girl, Craig Charles asked for if he could get some kiss scenes and the writers either made him kiss ugly aliens or Chris Barry

[@AT4W]

You're kind of seeing the problem with the dynamic and the big Rimmer-shaped hole. Rimmer was uptight, snooty, cowardly, and full of himself despite having nothing to justify that arrogance and thus it was funny seeing him get taken down a peg. He was the butt monkey, but consequently we understood WHY he was like this so when he had genuine moments of humanity or triumph we were happy it happened while also understanding why everyone else still insulted him. Kochanski, however, while being more sophisticated... is not a shithead. She's competent and human and the universe crapping on her just feels sad. She's not a misfit like the others and it doesn't gel with the rest of the team dynamics. I think she COULD have worked, but they needed more time to figure out what her personality archetype is that gives her a central flaw that makes her slot in with Rimmer gone. Maybe if she had been more LIKE Rimmer in her reality, thus we'd have a Kochanski who really was unrecognizable to Dave's idealized version (thus he's repulsed by her instead of wanting to impress her) but still works with the barbs thrown by Cat and the dominance over Kryten. Sure, you could argue "Well, we're just replacing one Rimmer with another," but the lack of Rimmer is already hurting the show and the Rimmer stuff in this one elevates it and is the funniest material.

[@Angelsilhouette]

Back in the 90s, the UK was still using a lot of imperial measurements. There was a joke that when it was hot they'd use Fahrenheit and when it was cold they'd use Celsius. Bigger numbers in Fahrenheit made it sound hotter, smaller numbers in Celsius made it sound colder. To this day, the UK uses mixed metric and imperial measurements, despite ridiculing nations like the US for still using imperial. Personally, I feel that the people ridiculing others for using imperial have no leg to stand on unless they adopt metric time (which is a thing).

[@Johannicus]

Like I said in the previous video: Kryten and Kaskinski have the best dynamic. He is afraid to lose his "brother" to the new girl but she is not intrested in taking his role. She tries to sofisticate the guys though with hilarious results. Like in the game night scene and more to come.

[@paulpenna5615]

After this series, there is a special you can watch as well. It's called "Can't Smeg, Won't Smeg". It aired as part of Red Dwarf Night and is quite amusing. This is my favourite episode of this series. Especially the song at the end. Love it. And Kryten's behaviour makes sense to me. He's clearly in love with Lister, and is very possessive of him.

[@dalewinship1158]

I always guessed Fahrenheit was used because of the future setting, society potentially being more Americanised hence the currency being Dollarpounds. Generally though in UK we flit quite happily between the different modes of measurement Celsius/Fahrenheit, miles/km, lbs/kg. 92f as a bigger number gets the point across that it’s uncomfortably hot better than 33c

I actually agree on the whole hostility between Kryten and Kochanski. It was important to establish this fear in Kryten about being left alone and explain why he see's Kochanski as a threat to that, but the previous couple of episodes established that quite well. Without going into spoilers it does make sense to try and maintain that level of frustration within Kryten as a character as the story moves forward at this point. That being said, watching this for the first time I can see why one would feel like this fear Kryten has about being alone and how he's connected that fear to Kochanski's presence would feel like it's getting drummed into your skull a little too hard. It is annoying.

We still use miles rather than kilometres, we measure our height in feet and inches and our weight in pounds. If the writer was a bit older, then they’d be more used to using Fahrenheit.

I agree with you on the Kryten Kochansky feud however Kryten is programmed to serve humans and for several years he has dedicated his life to Mr Lister, with her on board he cant dedicate the same time to Mr Lister...dont hate Kochansky. its one of those tales where he loved her but she did not love him the same way...she did go out with him and she is his ex girlfriend...she is also his mother :)

[@Alexandrashepiro]

Finally the The Rimmer Song! Yessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darrynwalker6270]

I do pick up the snark between Cat and Kochansky. I think the joke is supposed to be that Cat finally meets a real woman and doesn't get along with her.

[@thelovablecretin]

It's Kat and Kat and Kat and Paula Their brains are big, others are smaller When they wear heels they get much taller They've never met Darth Maul-a

[@KatAlysha]

What if I told you I've met and hung out with Sam Witwer... Does that count for Darth Maul? 👀

[@thelovablecretin]

@@KatAlysha I had a feeling I might run into some inaccuracies when writing this Although when you spend almost 20 minutes trying to think of lines to rhyme with Paula you have to take a leap of faith

Regarding F°. The UK used imperial for a very long time, during the '90s the choice was made to switch to metric. Not everyone was on board. As a result the reaction was mixed, and the country is now an extremely messy blend of the two. Some unanimously accepted like miles for distance/speed, but others vary from place to place like lbs and kgs. I was starting school in the early '00s and it was evident the teachers weren't entirely sure which they were meant to stick too! My parents always used imperial, and imperial is far more common where I work so thats what I default too. But I have friends that have absolutely no understanding of Imperial outside of miles. There was a ruling recently that we were going back to fully imperial, but that unhelpfully got dropped and now were back in limbo. Any decision would be preferable at this point! Ramble over:)

And now you'll never get the Rimmer song out of your heads. Ever.

He's also a fantastic swimmer.

HOT TIP: There are Rimmer Experience inspired plush dolls of the whole crew. Or at least the boys available for sale. (It doesn't look like official RD merch, but that's based on one quick search)

[@phillipcarlroberts4640]

Chris Barrie...AKA Rimmer had decided to move on to different projects before series 7, He was the main character in a sit com called the Brittas empire, its not all that good really, to be fair to him Red Dwarf had been absent for at least 3 solid years and he had probably already signed a contract...I am a guy that boasts no spoilers because there are none....

About the temperature. No, it wasn't to appeal to Americans. The UK is a hybrid country between the old "imperial" measurements and the newer metric system used on the European continent. For example, we still say a pint of milk or beer and use miles per hour. Temperature is especially goofy. Although this is not official, many British people use Celsius for the outdoor temperature and Fahrenheit for the indoor temperature. We're a strange little island...😀

[@dvdmike007]

Was waiting for guys to get to this one

[@lukewhiting3025]

Been waiting to see this reaction 😂

[@RotundBox]

Getting in here preemptively, because... hell yes.

[@franohmsford7548]

The British switch from Fahrenheit to Centigrade never got completed. Supposedly we made the switch in 1962 {yeah right} but there's plenty of brits over 50 and some under 50 who still think in Fahrenheit even today. In the late 90s when this was made pretty much everyone over 25 still thought in Fahrenheit because that's what they'd grown up with their parents and many of their teachers using. The BBC still did F+C on weather forecasts at least up until the 90s and possibly even today but I haven't watched a weather forecast in decades :)

[@roberthereandthere4366]

Ive been to the Reading Festival. Ive camped there more than once... You really do not want to be anywhere near the toilets!

[@deano2506]

We use a combination of fahrenheit and celsius in the uk. Generally, we use celsius for cold temperatures, but use fahrenheit for warmer temperatures. We are a strange country like that. For example, we also use both metric and imperial measurements.

[@matthewcharles5867]

Same in Australia

[@james194zt]

Do we? I can't even convert between them properly, I am just so used to Celsius 🤣

[@deano2506]

@james194zt Not many people can, which why they tell you both values when you watch the weather. Converting celsius to fahrenheit is fairly easy.. You double the celsius value and add 30. For example, 15°C is approximately 60°F. It's not 100 % accurate, but it will get you pretty close.
