    Red Dwarf really doesn't get enough credit for being genuinely good sci-fi in addition to good comedy.

      I’ve always said this about series 1-6. It gets to the point where the comedy is good, but it doesn’t even matter if it’s not that funny because the stories are genuinely good sci-fi. The upcoming series 6 especially.

    The fascist cop in this episode was played by American actor Lenny Von Dohlen. His appearance was regarded as something of a casting coup at the time, as he'd recently had a memorable recurring role in 'Twin Peaks', which was an absolutely HUGE show in the early nineties. Apparently Von Dohlen agreed to appear in this episode because he was a fan of 'Red Dwarf'. I believe he flew across the Atlantic, arrived on set, shot his scene, then flew back to the States. Sadly he died in 2022. RIP.

    This one has a lot of Philip K Dick for me -- questioning reality and everything you thought you knew. But played for laughs in the best way! I liked how everyone found out they were supposed to be the exact opposite of themselves -- Cat as a dweeb, Rimmer a hobo mess, and Lister an authoritarian leader. Kryton was the only one who got something of an upgrade, until the reveal that he's just a traffic cop!

  • @alanbeaumont4848
    @alanbeaumont4848 10 месяцев назад +11

    Been waiting five series for you to get here, this is where they became iconic.
    What you need to understand is that when this was first broadcast on TV there was no guarantee that there would be any more Red Dwarf, so in the context of the show it was more than plausible to end it with the gag that the whole thing had been a dream all along. This kept fans on tenterhooks throughout the episode, unlike today when you know there is more to come.
    Highlights include the spawning of Duane Dibley and all the bad news during the car chase being relayed by Rimmer (Plot hole alert: How can a Hologram hallucinate, unless his program is making him conform to Lister's reality?). Plus the brilliant Timothy Spall as the sarcastic technician - wonder how much it helped him get cast in the Harry Potter franchise?
    There are some great episodes to come, but for me this was the zenith. Always worth rewatching simply to hear the Cat exclaim:
    "So this is me? A no style gimbo, with teeth the druids could use as a place of worship?!"
    And even funnier as he wanders on bewildered muttering: "Duane Dibley...?"

    Duane Dibley and Ace Rimmer are the alternate versions of the characters that really took on life of their own within the Red Dwarf fandom. One thing that watching all these again makes me realise is how much all these guys grew as actors, in the course of the show (except for Chris Barrie, I guess, because he was pretty great from the beginning).

    • @andyukmonkey

    The jeopardy of whether it was real or not was a lot more real for us viewers 30 years ago; it was the last episode of the series and could conceivably be the last ever episode. Very few shows went on longer than 5 years. We had no way of knowing at the time that this wasn't even half way through the shows run; and the show being VR could easily have been an ending.

    Hi Gals! Been waiting for you to react to this one! And you completely got it!! This was actually voted in a UK poll as the best Red Dwarf episode! You've got Timothy Spall as the game attendant. The whole idea that they've been on a VR game the whole time. I've never thought of the car chase as an drama school improv class, but now you've mentioned it... yeah you're right and it makes it even better! The episode came out way before The Matrix, And course... DWAYNE DIBBLEY!!!???

    Being older, I can advise that the brilliant Tim Spall is partially reprising his role as hapless Brummie Barry from ‘Auf Weidersehn Pet’. He’s actually a Londoner. Also it occurs to me that Danny John-Jules (Cat) never really escaped Dwayne, subsequently playing Dwayne Myers in ‘Death In Paradise’.

    When this came out there was a possibility it was going to be the final episode of Red Dwarf and it was over 18 months between this episode airing in March 92 and the first episode of Season 6 airing in October 93.
    So the possibility that it was "All A Game" hit harder for us back then.
    The ending of Season 6 was even more horrific given that it was three and a half years between Season 6 ending and Season 7 finally arriving in 1997.

    Loved that reaction. Nothing blew my tiny mind and made me laugh as often as Red Dwarf while a younger.

    Duane Dibbly became an immediate fan favourite just like Ace the moment he showed up we knew it was gonna be a great episode.

    Wonder if the Gallifrey Gals noticed: "I've a limo in long term storage." "Bay 47"
    *Two episodes earlier*
    "Bay 47? That's quarantine!"

    I think this episode is PEAK Red Dwarf.

    This literally was an improv drama class for me! We did a dramatic/ comedy road accident with a bus and car and everyone sitting on chairs miming. It was a physical comedy thing. It was probably somewhat inspired by this episode.

    Apologies if this has already been mentioned, can't read all the comments, but when this first aired we didn't know the show would be coming back for a 6th season. There was a lot of speculation that the show was ending, so it did put that seed of doubt in your mind that maybe the video game thing might genuinely be how they were going to wrap up the show. The episode was so popular that when the series was repeated the following year they aired this episode first rather than last.

      And we'd had the *Better Than Life* novel which took the idea of being stuck in AR much further.

    I was a teenger at the time, when Red Dwarf would be broadcast on friday nights. I remember the following Monday at school, all my mates were doing Cat's despondent cry of "Duane Dibley!" Especially as one of us kinda had the same haircut😅
