SO excited about this, been looking forward to it for weeks now... without a doubt one of the best British sitcoms of all time, I could go on quoting one-liners from it for a very long time. And then of course there's this little piece of genius: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7b35O8O_5ZM

So save the last dance

I loved Red Dwarf back in the day- a bit worried about this comeback special, but will probs watch it :)

yeah, im worried it won't be as good but i don't think they would do it if it would ruin it for the fans,

they are also all proper nice blokes that cannot do enough for their fans, very approachable when i met them at a sci-fi convention :oops:

I can't wait this should be amazing!!! I always remember Cat going round with aerosol saying, 'That's mine, and that's mine...That's not mine!' Hilarious and then of course when he was trying to get Lister's fish. 'Im gonna get you little fishy, im gonna eat you for my teaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'

Totally, I met Danny John Jules, who plays Cat, at Maid Marion and her Merry Men (ask your parents) thing and he seemed like a really sound guy.

I'm praying that this comes to dvd (hopefully region 1) soon! I love Red Dwarf. I don't expect to love the new specials the way I do the first couple of seasons, but I'm eager for it nonetheless.

Looks like I'm now going to miss Friday night's episode as I've been invited out by a friend. Bugger. Oh well, it'll be on Saturday and Sunday night as well I guess.

Considering it's on Dave, home of repeats, I'm sure you'll catch it again at some point...

Red Dwarf was a huge hit for multichannel Dave last night, according to early ratings figures.

The first episode of a three-part reunion special, Red Dwarf: Back To Earth, pulled in 2.06m (10%) for Dave between 9pm and 9.30pm. A further 341k (1.9%) watched at 10pm on timeshift channel Dave ja vu.

A subsequent screening of a classic episode took 1.01m (5.1%) at 9.30pm.

The success of Red Dwarf helped Dave to a primetime share of 3.2%, making it the most popular multichannel station of the night by a margin of almost one share point.

Sounds like it did very well for a digital television channel. I guess having it on Freeview, cable and Sky helped.

It wasnt too bad, the lack of a live audience was more than obvious however, and I think there was a little too much use of CGI. Hopefully parts 2 and 3 will be a bit better.

For those of you who didnt get a chance to watch it, if you Google it I know you'll find places to download it from

I felt it was a little bit slow and they didn't give Kryten or the Cat enough lines but generally I liked it. I did kind of miss the laughter track, but maybe that's because I'm so used to hearing it on Red Dwarf.

Looking forward to seeing how the next 2 episodes pan out, hopefully the pace'll pick up a bit.

So save the last dance

it was a bit better i thought :)

the "are we getting another series" jokes seem a bit desperate to me though :confused:

i dunno, i think it should have been done by the BBC & they should have got Ed Bye back to direct & made six or seven episodes for a new series because i would think that in the meetings it would have been more like, this has to be good, no pissing around & this seems to have just been thrown together :( there has been talk of a movie for years & they had more then enough time to write a good script.

This was all a bit random- the whole going to Coronation Street thing was confusing, especially as it was such a classic BBC show.

Ditto to what Helen said about the canned laughter, missed that. It was also disappointing that a lot of the sets were replaced by green screen.

However, Cat and Rimmer were still amazing as ever.

      Summer on Radio 1

      By ianwilk1999 · Posted

      Yeah they make the weekend shifts go so much quicker. Like today, the piece about Matt falling asleep in the cafe was funny, it's clear to see why they're going to weekdays. It could well be they were thinking of Danny for it and like you say have decided against that, or like I said at the start it's James Cusack and the slow down on the announcement is him getting out of his contract. Remember he works for radio 1's main rivals. I think it's quite telling that he's doing more r1 cover than usual, tomorrow and then a further 3 weekend shows in a row

      I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?

      Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.

      And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury

      When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.

      Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml

      I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Dan18F1
      Summer on Radio 1

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then?

      But they said the main changes would happen in July.

      I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
