    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.

    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

  • @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...?"

  • @supernovaleftover1812

    • @elvwood
      @elvwood 10 месяцев назад +5

      Exactly! We didn't know there were going to be more episodes, so it was harder to be sure they wouldn't pull that sort of switch. I remember thinking, "they're not really going to do this though." Then as time went on, "or are they?" One final rug pull? I was so relieved when we finally got to see the "improv class"!

    Timothy Spall is now a famous and highly regarded actor in the UK, but as you’ll see in behind the scenes stuff, he was so unfamiliar with filming with a live audience that it completely freaked him out doing this.

    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.

    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.

Kryton was the only one who got something of an upgrade, until the reveal that he's just a traffic cop!

    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.

    Hands down one of the best episodes in the series. So many RD memes came from this episode that still persist being used to this day in the fandom.

    The "brummy git" that brought them back to reality was Timothy Spall, who played Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter

    When I first saw this waaaay back when I thought they took another stab at the 'Better than life' episode, I prefer this episode because the characters are much more rounded.

    Quite the shock when it came out as you thought it could be true and the end.
    Also probably one of the reasons it's the highest rated episode on imdb

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

    The operator of the game is the actor that plays Peter Pettigrew in Harry Potter.

    I saw this episode when it was brand new. I thought this must be the last episode ever. That made me sad. The story was very clever the way it tricked the audience.

    The game operator was played by Notable British actor Timothy Spall, whos probably most known in the US for playing Wormtail in the Harry Potter Films

    Yep this is one of my fav RD episodes ever. This show is full of surprises so don't dismiss any possibilities, if you think something might happen then be prepared to see it happen in one form or another.
    Keep up these great reaction videos, I'll keep watching them and having fun seeing your reactions.😁

    Great reaction gals, just to give you a heads up, after series 6 we have three series of unexpected number of episodes, wouldn’t want you to miss anything. Series 7 +8 eight episodes each, then a three episode mini series. Back to 6 episodes for series 10 to 12 and finally a 90 minute special.

    That episode was so good I am watching it back again

    I apologise if somebody's already pointed this out, but in the UK, "Brummie" refers to somebody who comes from Birmingham. Great reaction as always.

    I remember watching this when it first broadcast and we had no idea if this might be the last ever episode.
    For a moment I thought that it might have been 'a dream' all along and that would have been a bold but very Red Dwarf way of finishing the series!

    And did you recognise the guy running the game was also the rat from Harry Potter? Timothy Spall.

    Next episode has one of my favourite sci-fi concepts in the whole show, so really looking forward to you starting Season 6 :)

    If you asked me what my fave episode of Red Dwarf is, well, this is absolutely on the short list. :) The whole season except Angels/Demons really are just top notch. I LOVE the setup for this episode, and the resolution is maybe a little rushed, but great all the same.
    I wish ya'll gals would stop after S6, and just - let it be... Go out on a high, cos S6 certainly is still on the upward trajectory... But that said, I will come join you watching what comes after S9, just to see what ya'll have to say about it...
