Life Aboard... The JMC Red Dwarf Part I | Spaceship Breakdown
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июн 2024
- 3 million years from Earth, the mining ship Red Dwarf. The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak save for one survivor, his dead bunkmate and an evolved form of his pet cat. But let’s not get bogged down on that - we’re here to overanalyse tiny little details to work out what the day to day life of a Space Corps Astro would be like.
See, not every trip into space means you’ll be tripping the void into distant star systems, nor is it guaranteed you’ll be coming face to face with an alien monstrosity from the far reaches of the galaxy. No, sometimes a day working in space is just another day, flanked by ocean grey walls and waiting for your next paycheck to clear before settling in for another six months of flight time.
Such is life aboard the JMC Red Dwarf.

Life Aboard is a series dedicated to examining what it would be like to live, work and serve aboard some of science fiction's most notorious spaceships. Forget the laser cannons, the made up technobabble and let's ask ourselves what the important questions are - how's breakfast, and where do I sleep?

I’m so glad people on RUclips are still making red dwarf content, this is brilliant, good job!
Red Dwarf has been such a comfort to me over all these years. I still need it to this day...it keeps me sane.
Back in the days when entertainment was simple, funny and...entertaining. Still love this series after decades and it's good to see I'm not the only one.
great grouping the crew of the red dwarf, they come across, not group that really case what happen to each member of the crew, but they go to great lengths, to get miss crew mates back out of what even that week plot is,
Infinitely better than the woke trash these days.
TV is 99% propaganda… so much so I ditched the antenna and license. Happy with internet and classics.
dh what?
The license fee was worth while then….not now,it’s same programs every day of week…it’s amazing that people still watch the drivel that’s put out…I have t watch tv for ten years or more…movies and docs and RUclips is my watching stations now.

I smegging love Red Dwarf! Been a fan since I was a kid! I got to meet Craig Charles and Robert Llewellyn when I was a teenager when they came to my area for a public TV pledge drive Red Dwarf marathon that my mom was volunteering for. They were both total sweethearts and hilarious too! Very generous with their time and love for their fans. I gave Craig Charles a drawing of Red Dwarf that I made and they signed a bunch of stuff for me! Robert Llewellyn called me a "big lug"! That still makes me laugh. :P One of my most treasured memories. This is a truly great show that not enough people know about, and I hope they still get to make more someday! Boys from the Dwarf forever!!!
Great video! I just discovered your channel, but you hooked me immediately with this one, so you got my subscribe!
Oh that’s awesome - thanks for sharing! And welcome aboard! 😁
Chris Barrie was a twat tho, I remember queuing to see him at comic con somewhere in the UK, I think it was Milton Keynes? IDK, but Robert and Danny were sweethearts, I remember Danny talking to me for so long about music and our band that the security had to come and shuffle us on then later I bumped into him while he was on the way to the toilet at he was like 'hey, I remember u! Music GUY!' and Robert Signed my Old windows Phone battery cover, but Chris? There were two Fit blondes behind me in the the queue, so as I go to shake his hand he looks right over my shoulder at the girls and thats it, Im moved on so he can hit on a couple girls a third his age. Always stuck with me which was a shame cos I was a huge brittas Empire fan and I really thought he was a decent dude, turns out What Doug and Grant Said about the characters was true: Theyre all extentions of the actors, so Rimmers portrayal isnt too far removed from what Rob and Doug ACTUALLY thought about Chris Barrie and his attitude.
the captain of Red Dwarf was also the commander of the Weyland mining colony, exciting cross over
Yeah, always made me chuckle.
Weyland Yutani Corporation (The same firm operates Nostromo from Alien) Has a monopoly on interstellar travel our Solar system.
@@paulhunter6742 doesn't JMC own weyland
It is rare to find such a detailing of Red Dwarf . Most people do all the star trek , or star wars ships. Thank you for making this.
My pet peeve is watching a video and just hearing a list of made up numbers that mean nothing. I wanna know what the carpet feels like, what breakfast costs and where do I find the nearest cocktail bar! Luckily, the small Rouge One is perfect for that!
I guess it might just be a case of British media not getting enough exposure as popular American media. A shame really.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 Well, it does in Britain. And we understand it better, since it's aimed at us and our culture. We get all the jokes and stuff without needing explanation... usually... We get the general emotional feel of the thing, American stuff is always upbeat even in miserable circumstances. We're depressed even in upbeat circumstances!
Did you ever see that video of Big Bang Theory with the canned laughter cut out? You can see, they leave a pause after most sentences for the obligatory laughs. British comedy isn't so craven. Not so desperate to validate our jokes with laughter, real or otherwise. We don't point out the jokes because we assume the audience is intelligent enough to get them, and if they don't, there's no point telling them.
American sitcoms are... stupid! They're really aimed at the low-IQ market, but Americans aren't really any stupider than other nations. We'll put politics to one side for a second. But apart from that, I don't think Americans need all the laugh-gaps and canned laughter and everyone ending their sentences with a Groucho eyebrow wiggling or a "hey hey!", or a cymbal crash. But they're there anyway. Maybe it's "notes" and insecre executives.
In the UK we don't have that, much stuff is made by independent studios who sell their shows to the networks. The BBC have their own in-house production facilities but they let their producers and directors work unbothered and free. So they're able to take risks, where US mainstream sitcoms don't even take the smallest ones. Everything has to be suitable for literally everyone, and you can't risk offending either side of the massively partisan, hugely biased, political scene. It's not really a "spectrum" when everyone's blue or red, no greens and yellows in the middle.
Though when you *actually* survey people... it turns out most people actually agree on nearly everything about how life should be lived, how a country should function, what sort of laws we need and don't need. Regardless of which party they've been hoodwinked into identifying with. Through scaremongering and inciting outrage, usually. Mostly, people are OK. But politics is so *poisonous* now, they'll do any horrendous thing in the name of Our Team vs Their Team. But when it comes down to what actually makes a difference, both teams are "help the rich get richer, give more money to the rich, lower taxes for the rich (but pretend ordinary people are going to benefit). Then, retire, and go join the board of some company you did favours for, for a well-paid sinecure. Worse than some banana republic, at least there you get bananas!
Pardon the rant...
@@greenaum If you make a simple comment, you get a sea of diatribes.
Great to see some Red Dwarf content. I grew up the the 80's so the show is part of my childhood. “Step up to red alert." Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb." Probably my favourite Red Dwarf joke.
I love the scene where Rimmer went on a vacation in the Red Dwarf with the scutters.
I never actually realised how well JMC looked after their employees... all the pieces were there, but I didn't put them together in my head. Considering the pessimistic and cynical picture Red Dwarf paints of the mid-to-far future of human space travel, realising how good the Dwarfers actually had it was a nice surprise!
One *small* note though, if I may; Article 5 and the backup computer are a total fabrication, "Queeg 500" was literally a bored Holly twin-screen streaming with a different face and voice. I'm sure there was some kind of emergency contingency in place for the eventuality of a catastrophic/total computer failure, but Queeg himself never existed.
I did wonder re Queeg, but figured since Article 5 is listed on “official” space corps directives lists I’d punt for it!
But yes, all in all it’s not bad! If Lister can make it, anyone can! The criminal genetic modification and exploitation of droids by the Space Corps come later..
@@spacedoutgame Article 5 is listed? Hmm, didn't know that at all! Then again, Red Dwarf plays *very* fast and loose with canon, continuity and timelines... rule of funny and all that. Either way you've done an excellent job! I look forward to your breakdown of what things are like "now" after 3,000,000 years (ish).
I've been amazed at the production quality you've got going on and look forward to your channel ballooning up to its deserved six-digit sub count. :)
@@MrMortull Ah man, you’re too kind! Am writing the script as we speak! 😎
Perhaps with the food credits youd probably get a stipend for basic meals included as part of your employment and be able to buy more from your wage if you wanted to.
JMC's ships were definitely excellent, albeit with a few "minor" safety issues that likely could have been fixed with a little redesign, but they seemed to have a bad habit of hiring people into positions they couldn't handle. It's really telling that one of their ships could still be in livable shape after three million years, including having an entire species evolve, form a civilization, make holy war, then leave and still have functioning power and breathable atmosphere with the biggest issue turning out to be the local AI population only becoming moderately eccentric.
The other thing I liked about red dwarf, was that the four crew members had free reign over the giant mining vessel.
Red Dwarf is still to this day my favourite TV show by a long way, I've been a fan since I saw Queeg aged 12
The back-up computer was a joke by Holly to show the crew how much they needed him.
Yeah I'm pretty sure it wasn't actually a thing on the ship. Holly makes it abundantly clear at the end of the episode that he was Queeg and that Queeg never existed.
Its a series for which I could have a memory wipe so I can watch it again not knowing what is going to happen. Love it still.
It amuses me that it takes the 'express lift' over 3 hours to travel 5 miles. Only thing slower is Rimmer pulling at a disco
Smegging brilliant video, still love the boys from the Dwarf, been watching since I was a teenager and the shows are just as funny and clever as they were when I first saw them all those years ago. Thank you for a great trip aboard the big red one!
Glad you said Smeg Off at the end!
Always nice to see other Red Dwarf fans out there. The series is a classic.
I've seen all the episodes and yet you've brought the ship and crew to life in a way I haven't experienced before. Top work! Hope you get plenty of subs for this.
All 12 seasons and the movie?
The start of Red Dwarf cracks me up everytime....the space guy with the paint roller painting the Red Dwarf then pans out to the massive ship!! 😎🤣🇦🇺👍
Gotta keep a fresh coat on the hull so the space barnacles don't stick to it.
I like the concept, no heroic starship, just a tramp ship making it's way through space doing it's job
One of the most underrated sci-fi shows ever!
Top show never gets boring
Good job! Love Red Dwarf, such a contrast to the (then) regular TV sci-fi.
I do love some Red Dwarf. In 2020, I was knocked down early with COVID, I was in a isolation ward for nearly 3 weeks and the boys from the dwarf kept me sane 😁
A great video, thank you!
Oh man, hope you’re doing better now - but an excellent choice, I would have chosen the same in your shoes!
@@spacedoutgame Thanks matey, yep recovered well after that, was a bit dicey being put into ICU though. At least there was good comedy to keep me going while I was there! This and Allo Allo kept me from climbing the walls.
Funny story. Years ago, I got pneumonia and spent literally a month laid out in bed (probably should’ve gone to hospital, but eh..) and literally spent the whole time watching Allo Allo.. the Madonna with the big boobies will forever haunt me
They kept you sane? Are you still talking to the wallpaper?🤔🤣🤣
No that wasn't a reference, just a little dig ( The thought was to say something about being a souper but just couldn't make it work.. )
And Allo Allo, yet another great show, with Rena ( can't remember how it was spelt ) having all the ladies chasing after his charms and then getting replaced with, was it his brother or cousin, Rena.
@@alanhilder1883 it's Rene, I'm not trying to be a smart arse, I had to look it up.
30 odd years later and this series is still going strong, even the fact that there’s going to be a new season! I wish Lego would hurry up and make sets of this!
This, Dr. Who, and others were on Public TV in the USA at the end of the century. It is certainly a great introduction to the range of scifi after finding an interest in star trek, 2001, and the outer limits. Brilliant work.
You missed out other Sci-fi shows of late 1980s and 1990s. Some brilliant like UFO, Saffire and Steel; Others not so good, like Star Maidens and The Star Lost most of these were produced in Europe, not necessarily BBC. Star Lost produced in Canada.
@@paulhunter6742 UFO and Sapphire and Steel were both 1970s productions. I can understand that they repeated them decades later, but surely the haircuts should haev tipped you off! Then again, if you live in Canada...
Did you ever see Lexx? Top, top scifi! Bit rude too, got too much so in the end, but really weird far-out plots, often really funny, often very dark and unpleasant (AND funny!). It's under-rated, often by reviewers who've only seen one episode. But start off from Series 1 Episode 1 and it all makes sense. And is full of action and excitement, as well as body-horror. NOTHING goes to waste in Whatever Century, a long long time ago.
holy crap fresh red dwarf content?? MY CHILDHOOD!!!
As an American, we got this on PBS late at night on the weekends. I remember watching reruns in the mid to late 90s and loved this show. This show and Are You Being Served were my first forays into British comedy and I have to say, I haven't found their equivalent since.
Edit: Oh, and Mr. Bean.
Hey, this is awesome!! As much as I love overanalysing my favourite scifi shows, I never really thought about Red Dwarf, even after reading the books. Great video !
Love how much effort you put into this. Great job
How on earth do you have less than a thousand subscribers? Excellent video. Please keep it up
I love that Red Dwarf was actually one of the most "realistic" (grounded in real science) sci-fis out there, esp in the early seasons. I think only the Expanse has done that more lol. Also depressingly realistic in its depiction of the future (interplanetary capitalism, corporatism, environmental collapse, cynicism etc. You have to laugh or you'd go mad!
Yes you can tell Silent Running, Dark Star and Alien had a massive influence in terms of a “realistic” future.. plus I really only scratched the surface of world building that was crammed into this show. From the songs Lister hums to himself, to the ambitions of the Coca Cola company in the novel. Apparently Rob Grant even wrote the names of every crew member on board, just in case!
Absolutely. Some of the storylines were very intelligent and ambitious for this type of sitcom. As you say, especially in the early seasons.
Reminiscent of the film Dark Star showing what deep space travel would really be like
Besides the beachball alien
Oooo Part 1.... can't wait for this to be expanded. Amazing work and exceptionally thorough.
As a life long dwarfer struggling to sleep tonight this is a god send. Thanks mate
I love red dwarf almost as much as I love chicken vindaloo.
Wonderfully produced, thank you 😊
Please someone recreate red dwarf in VR, I want to have a nap in Lister's quarters while hearing the ship's relaxing hum sound.
I’m in!
That’s sounds truly amazing! I wouldn’t want to return to the real world!
That background hum not just sound from SF TV shows. I've worked in Major Public museum for 21 years. I can tell when air handlers and A/C or heating units shut down because background hum the equipment makes stops. Deadly quiet especially when few visitors in buildings.
tbf with the food he eats I wouldn't want to take a nap in there.
but a vr layout of the ship would be awesome.
Better Than Life
well done for producing this, you've done an excellent job and it was most enjoyable.
p.s. i've all the red dwarf dvd's and watch them at least once a year it's probably my favourite comedy.
Shout out to all my fellow Dwarfers out there👋👋
🤙🏻 Boys from the Dwaaaarf 🤙🏻
Fantastic video. Great editing, research, and narration. Red Dwarf will always be a fave of mine and I loved seeing all this pieced together. Can’t wait for pt 2!
I love this! Thank you for bringing this all together. Please make more!
What an excellently produced video, the content and editing it top rate.
Subscribed!
This was fantastic, thank you
This was really actually even more entertaining than I anticipated ! Well Done !
Gazpacho soup!!🤣🤣 Always glad to see the boys from the Dwarf, thanks!! 👍👍
Fantastic Compilation of Red Dwarf Clips loved the Series
Pretty sure the back up computer was a Holly joke with the crew. To make them realise how good they had it.
Wonderful video! I am a HUGE Red Dwarf fan! This was really fun trip down memory lane. Thx!
Carmita! You’re very welcome!
@@spacedoutgame Love your Esperanto!
This was thoroughly entertaining to watch - Thanks For This !!!!
I’d nearly forgotten about this gem of a tv series.
It really is the best thing to come from England in nearly a hundred years!
I always wondered why Lister never took the Captains old room!
Yesssssssss. This is my all time favorite show.
Love this so much! Really appreciate all the detail. Thanks for sharing!
Boyz from the Dwarf 👐
I'm pretty sure the captain is the same actor who had a small role in the Aliens deleted scenes involving Hadley's Hope.
It sure is. Mac Macdonald I believe.
You're correct He did have short cameo, but scenes were cut from final prints of Aliens.
@@paulhunter6742 It's on the 'special edition' of Aliens. Long time since I saw the theatrical cut. I forgot how much footage was left out.
Oh man this ticks so many boxes for me. Subbed, and keep the videos coming.
Gotta love RD. I remember starting to watch this when I was a kid, and I still love it.
I remember going round to my mates house to watch the first televised episode of Red Dwarf … February 1988 … knowing it was a radio show, was expecting great things … it was ok! But I gave it a go, watched the next episode which was much better … a theme the production team maintained for the last 34 years! Just awesome.
Was a timeless show!!!
Red dwarf would be my desert island dvd selection....
Best show ever…
After a slump of RUclips seemingly not having any good videos for three days.. this is exactly what I was after!! Gotta subscribe now
One of the most amazing things about Red Dwarf is we all just now nod and accept the '1990s retro theme night' mentioned at 29:42, and forget that the episode in which it appears **was made in 1988**. Great video by the way
Absolutely! I had to include it for that very reason! Thanks for watching 😁
Great vid man, love it! keep em coming! 👍
Thanks bud! Make sure to check out Part 2 and Starbug too!
Just discovered Red Dwarf here, and given the attitude and style this ship would be welcome
in Borderlands. XD
Very nice work!
Wonderful pacing, editing ,the mix of narration and clips
Great video
Give yourself a goldfish mate
Aperture science is to RedDwarf as Black Mesa is to StarTrek
That's what I think anyway. Brilliant video btw!
If the RD was yellow, it would have been a 'Babel Fish' 😆😅🤣
After more than 30 years I've just realised - holographic computer: Holly. Holly. Holographic. "Holly". Wow, it's just come to me!
Thanks for the like, but how long did it take you to work that out?
I know what you mean, the same thing happened to me with another show
I'm looking forward to another vid on the Red Dwarf, fantastic show and the ship has always fascinated me, honestly amazing content keep it up! :D
Love that show!
Good video, keep it up man.
Great use of clips from the show, and as a long term RD fan I still learnt things about the small rouge one!
I bet Captain Hollister regrets not taking that job as the mayor of that colony on LV-426
Didn't most of Colonists on LV-426 get infested with Aliens embryos and died?
Great Documentry on the Dwarf and characters and biog,brilliant Video.
No smegging way!! Just stumbled upon your videos awesome job. Look forward to more
You got my sub, red dwarf is one of my all time faves!!!!!
Red Dwarf is the TV show I've watched the most I ny life. I used to put it on when trying to sleep because it was comforting.
You are a smeghead of the most upstanding variety for making this :)
I live in the US and I used to watch this on PBS back in the late 90's early 2000's, it's a great show.
Great idea for a video!
Brilliant show.
Great idea
It cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere, I'm all alone, more or less.
Majestic stuff! I may have subconsciously picked up on this information over the years, from the series and books, but to have it so succinctly presented, and in such a wonderful way is truly entertaining, if not sadly nostalgic. Thank you!
Ah shucks man, you’re very welcome 😁 Yes I’m exactly the same - and there’s still more I could have put in! Massive credit to Grant & Naylor for building such a comprehensive world without dropping the jokes!
The books are brilliant.
You get a sub just for red dwarf alone, not to mention the quality content!
Cheers for the video and love the series.
I'm surprised they never made a point and click adventure game for this.
I think the term 'Spaceship breakdown' is not a phrase we want to hear aboard a JMC orientation video! ;)
Ha! Good thing they built their ships from the same stuff those children’s dolls are made of..
6 minutes in and this is fantastic, well edited, perfectly voiced, great stuff. Fully expecting this channel to take off quickly
Ah man, you’ll make me blush! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
How strange is this:
I met Craig Charles at 'Truckfest' (St Helens?) around 2005 (He actually had 4 'bodyguards' with him, LOL I don't know what he was expecting!))
Shook hands with Chris Barrie at the Earls Court 'Classic Bike show' around 1998 (where he was oddly dressed like 'Ace Rimmer')
I camped about 100m away from Robert Llewellyn at the 'Bug-Jam 18' when he turned up in a Split-screen VW Camper
I met Danny John Joules at the NEC Bike show, when he rode in on a Barbie Pink Yamaha R1, about 2010
. . . . . . Seems they all have a GENUINE love of the internal combustion engine in some way !
Now, I Just need to meet Holly & Holly to tick all my 'Red Dwarf boxes' 🙂
Awesome! I’ve only met Chris but he was absolutely lovely.
Both Hollies were due to do stand up in my hometown but the pandemic scuppered it - worth keeping an eye on the comedy venues though 😎
That's amazing you had opportunity meet nearly entire cast of Red Dwarf. I think Craig Charles had so many body guards because during early years of series the female fans were all over him. He was still popular after series end as host of Robot Wars.
Ive seen occasional clips of Norman Lovett doing stand up and he's a funny guy (despite the drunk crowd he was performing to) - Ive just googled him . . . . he's 75 now - maybe his performing days are over
Hope he's fit & well
@@paulhunter6742 - Yeah i think your right although it could have been a contractual thing because he was doing 'Coronation street' too (never watched it) and they film many times a week - and couldn't afford him being absent because of a injury, fall or 'Rumble' (as lister would say!)
i need to dig up my dvd/blu rays for this one.. loved this show soo much
Awesome video! Love that you used some of the book lore too. This is all basically my headcanon :)
This and part 2 are the most unique Red Dwarf videos I've seen on here. Nice going! 😎
That’s what I like to hear! Thanks for watching 😁
I've gotta say... a new subscription resulted in your endeavor!
This was brilliant. I hope many more people watch it. You deserve it.
Thank you so much! Spread the word!
It's like I got home from work, sat down to relax, and a platter trout ala'creme showed up in my recommendations.
VERY, well done, IMO.
Thank you, very much.
☮
Please make more vids like this one, outstanding work my friend 😁
Plenty more on the way!
looking forward tot his series
Love the content in this show just want more episodes
Very nice work, subbed!
