Red dwarf and the guys saved me in many ways. Had a rough childhood, parents constantly arguing, "mum" drunk 18 hours a day. My best friend would invite me over to his place for the weekend and we'd watch Red Dwarf whilst eating burgers his mum made. For those weekends, I could forget everything and laugh until my jaw hurt.
Beautiful comment mate, thank you very much for sharing that. I love that comedy transcends all time and cultural barriers. It's a shame that it is becoming increasingly under fire from snowflakes. I hope you are doing well mate and all is good. All best from 🇮🇪
@@AndrewChapman The grey sets definitely look unique in the whole show, but they did look bloody cheap as well, let's be honest. They looked like what they were, which was basically painted particle board. The most positive aspect of the original sets was more that they perfectly represented the drab humdrum nature of being stuck 3 million years in deep space with little company and nothing to do, which was really the overall theme of the first two series.
And then we got Hattie, who gave a more fitting performance for the direction of the show anyway. My sister and I just named the character Hattie as well because our child brains couldn't fathom the same name on a different face :P
Norman Lovett kinda irritates me, though was funny as an early Holly. Loved Hattie's Holly more though. Hattie Hayridge is such a lovely, funny lady in real life.
@@reloadpsiand then Norman moaned his 'act' was being stolen! You can tell from the tone of everyone else involved in these docs that he was an utter pain in the arse.
@@robdimambro1674 The impression I got was that he was well liked by the cast and crew, despite the odd strop he threw at the show runners. I don't think that the rest of the cast, Danny and Craig in particular, could talk, as they're pretty open about their own behaviour that was less than optimal back in the early days, i.e. showing up late to films and rehearsals and being subjected to an utter bollocking from Paul Jackson.
The Red Dwarf documentaries are always full of joyful memories, even the producers and directors are full of beans. Looks like they had great fun for so many years
If the show ever ends, I can picture them reaching Earth and Lister finally making it to Fiji and starting his donut and hotdog business, except it’s Fiji three million years in the past.
I always loved Holly best. Was gutted when he left the show but I'm glad to see he's now back. The one where he was in a monitor with a cap on top driving up and down the spaceship as a night guard was hilarious.
I loved both Hollies. They were huge fun. I like it when it the female Holly (Hattie) got the intellect upgrade. I also liked Queeg, I wish he'd come back for more.
I love this so much, I absolutely adore these more than the series itself sometimes. I love Red Dwarf, it's so excellent and introduced me to so many fascinating philosophical and science fiction concepts. When I was a child I wished to know the people and their efforts which went into this and now I do, I'm very thankful 🙏
Thank you so much for this upload. As an American I didn't know this series existed until I found it on Netflix several years ago. Since then I've watched the entire thing so many times I know every episode by heart. I wish there was more, 6 episodes a season isn't much but what is there is phenomenal. These extras scratch that itch for new Red Dwarf content I haven't seen yet. I hope they continue on after the last movie, I feel like they could never run out of content for the show. Even having them as old men in the future and maybe having Lister's kids continue the legacy with another hologram or something.
This is my problem with most US (successful) comedies, in my experience. They pump out dozens of episodes per season from an entire platoon of writers. The end result always feels like mass-produced, paint-by-numbers "comedy".
@@marcwilliams9824The strength of almost all of the early BBC comedy and british TV in the early days in general, was the strength of writing. They were done on a shoestring budget which is why you have these laughably bad sets, but the combination of great acting plus absolutely brilliant scripts just made all of the other problems melt away, they transported you into another universe. It was very telling when they improved the budgets around season 8+, there was a big leap in production quality but it felt like the same show, it didn't need those things to be successful. Really love these old shows, I grew up watching The Young Ones and Bottom, I'm not even sure you could put half of that stuff on TV today.
pollardmark, I was introduced to Red Dwarf back in 1990 while working in Sarasota, FL, by one of my younger co-workers. I’m now 78 and still love watching episodes over and over. Can’t wait for new stories. Long live Red Dwarf!
When you want to punch someone for slagging off your favourite moment of the series... but it's the creators. (Nevertheless, Tongue Tied was bloody brilliant. Smeg off, you lot!)
Doug Naylor Co-creator Writer replied "The view figures for the first show were actually very good I think was 5.3 million reviews and we were second Season on the Red Dwarf British Broadcasting Company ✔"
Loved Norman in s1 and 2. But when he came back. He didn’t play the part so dead pan and dry. He even smiled when the audience cheered his return. Didn’t sit right with the character.
This is one of the few brit coms we get in canada anymore we use to get alot every sat in 70s with shows like on the busses doc in the house are you being served young ones now all we get is your cop dramas witch are good but rather see your sit coms
In the US we get them or did (have not had TV for a decade) every Sunday night. Red Dwarf, Are You Being Served, Vicar of Dibley, Moone Boy, Spy, As Time Goes By, Black Adder, The Thin Blue Line, Good Neighbors, Open All Hours, IT Crowd, My Hero, Allo Allo, The Cafe, Yes Minister, Miranda and I am sure I am forgetting a few.
Series two is an unalloyed classic of British television. Queeg alone tips it into all-timer territory, but really every episode is a corker. I like series 3-5, but 2 is probably the show's peak.

Rimmer: Every war was won by the side with the shortest Haircut. Chris Barrie: Has even shorter hair IRL. In Season 9*, Rimmer should have run into Chris Barrie and had a fit of jealousy. That was the fourth-wall-breaking season in which Lister really did meet Craig Charles. * The Season was self-described as Season 10, but it was listed as Season 9 in every season listing I could find.
@@klondikeblame1327 I KNOW! 8 was TERRIBLE! The humor was so juvenile and pathetic it was actually embarrassing to watch. I felt SORRY for the cast having to do the material. The only really GOOD moment was when Rimmer uncharacteristically tried to save the posse and wound up sacrificing his own life.
You are so right. 8 was terrible...9 was bleh...10, 11, 12 are funny but still not on par with the earlier seasons. TPL was a lot of fun and well-made, but still not the same caliber as the earlier material.
I could never get around them dialling back Rimmer and adding Kochanski, but Stoke Me A Clipper is one of the best episodes of Red Dwarf for me, the whole intro with Ace Rimmer is one of the best intros I've ever seen. The Rimmer Experience in Blue is unforgettable also, everyone remembers that straight away, and I really like the Epideme episode too. It's after the crew are resurrected that it can get a bit different but they have their own charm. That intro to Back In The Red where Lister is trying to break Rimmer into talking to him again has me in tears, especially Rimmer's reactions!
Whoever is reading this, I just want to say that I'm going through a bad time right now but I want to send loads of ♥ ☀ ✌️ 🥂 to each and all of you... RD fans are the best. Let's all do one nice thing for a stranger when you read this. Take care and all the best guys and gals from 🇮🇪
Rhyl beach eh? It is funny that at one point I went to Rhyl on the train with friends to play on the arcade machines back in the 80's. The Rhyl Sun Centre was demolished a few years back (it was no longer safe) and the local council replaced it with a multi million pound water slide, pool place that costs a small fortune to go into. It is smaller than the Sun Centre though.
It’s the best ever love it, never stopped watching, makes Star Trek look dated, I miss scutters but love interaction between rimmer and lister, Lister is my pal, This prog makes all American sci fi look dated, it just does xx
I've got series I through VIII on DVD, but this documentary doesn't seem to be among the bonus features on the series II set, even though the other documentaries for the other series are included on their respective sets. WTF? Well, at least it's on RUclips.
They didn't actually start doing these documentaries covering each episode individually til the series III DVD. So therefore, the ones for I and II aren't included on the DVD sets of their respective series. They were eventually done for The Bodysnatcher Collection DVD released in 2007, the year after VIII was released on DVD.
I get the feeling when the show moved from BBC Manchester to Shepperton Studios for Series 4 was when the show came into its own, and just got better and better.
Have the Dave series' been released on DVD? If anyone has them, do they have these docs on them? Just wondering if they're worth getting..? Especially since every episode (besides 'back to earth') is on iplayer right now.
'Back to Earth' is on BBC iPlayer as well as Blu-ray and DVD. Only on iPlayer, it's the feature-length director's cut instead of the 3-part TV version. Series X onwards have also been released on Blu-ray and DVD, which do include documentaries covering each episode.
Red Dwarf was great until season 7! They lost their way after that. I recently watched Red Dwarf Promised Land . Although it was good to see what they could do with what was basically feature length tv movie episode, it just wasnt that funny anymore. Pity 😕😕
Promised Land feels more like three different episodes that were mashed together to make an okay movie version of Red Dwarf. That said, I think its opening visual gag is utterly inspired!
@@scottfrenz Once Rob Grant bowed out, it was never the same. It still has its moments now and then, and is certainly not terrible overall, but not especially memorable either.
@@LordSeth-hf8ew That was a personal clash, not about ego over the rest of the crew. Craig and Chris quarrelled because they had two very different personalities. Craig was very young, gung ho, abrasive, rude, crude scouser, whilst Chris was more reserved, well respected impressionist, who had made his name on Spitting Image and working with comedians like Jasper Carrot. Craig was probably overwhelmed by working with Chris, and this caused the friction in the relationship. However by Series 6 that had all went away, and both men became friends properly.
I don't know about that - the rest of the cast seem to like him a lot. But there were definitely times when he went overboard in standing up for himself to the show's producers that made him look a total diva. You can't always be a nice guy in showbiz, anyway. If Paul Jackson was a meek, polite gentleman, we mightn't have had the same discipline from the cast and crew...
Hindsight is a bitch. If norman knew how popular red dwarf was going to be he would have made the journeys between Manchester Scotland and London. I know it would have been a ball ache but worth it
@@danwoodward23 If I were in Norman's shoes doing different jobs at different locations each, I would give up at least something. Burnout is never good
@starryian007 Typical socialist? What is it with you people and politics? Judging by the rest of your comment, you also fail to see the many flaws in capitalism!
It's always strange to me to hear people in the UK say "second series" for a 2nd season, whether they are talking about "Doctor Who," "Red Dwarf," or anything else. I think of "Star Trek:TNG" as a "second series" since the first series was the original series "Star Trek." Thus "DS9" was a third series, "Voyager" was the 4th series, etc. They're NOT wrong in the UK; it's just *different* . I wonder what they *do* call shows set in the same fictional universe that are related to each other, e.g. "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood."
I agree. It's a shame too, because parts of the UK have some fantastic beaches which would have been brilliant locations on a summers day. It's a great episode but some of the location work really puts a dampener on it and with better location scouting and scheduling it didn't need to.
He certainly wasn't, MaximusJohal. He wouldn't have done the recent Red Dwarf Quarantine examination of series 1 if he didn't love the show. Why should they agree to let Norman do less preparatory work for the same money?
You got to be Joking, The Young Ones was so bizzare and outlandish it made Red Dwarf seem pretty straight forward. He has a very good understanding on doing stuff which has never been done before in comedy shows
Red dwarf and the guys saved me in many ways. Had a rough childhood, parents constantly arguing, "mum" drunk 18 hours a day. My best friend would invite me over to his place for the weekend and we'd watch Red Dwarf whilst eating burgers his mum made.

I always love that everyone on the show hated the grey set, but the designer loves it.
I love the Series III-V sets, but there is something about the grey sets from I and II that felt unique which I did feel a bit sad to see go in III.
Adore III-VI sets. But I'll defend I and II sets to the death. Really unique and super cosy even with all the typically colder grey(s).
@@AndrewChapman The grey sets definitely look unique in the whole show, but they did look bloody cheap as well, let's be honest. They looked like what they were, which was basically painted particle board.

What colour are the hats though?
@@andrewt836 "They were supposed to be green."
He wanted a farm on Fiji though didn't he, not a doughnut or hotdog business. He wanted a sheep and a cow and to breed horses

@starryian007 Typical socialist? What is it with you people and politics? Judging by the rest of your comment, you also fail to see the many flaws in capitalism!
i cant understand a wod Paul Montague is saying
Yes, the marbles in the mouth make it so much harder to understand. Just seems like a wee, eccentric, English man lol
No one can.
I love DJJ but that Dunkirk reference "joke" was a bit low...
Shoulda done Philippines for beaches. Cheap as chips still
It's always strange to me to hear people in the UK say "second series" for a 2nd season, whether they are talking about "Doctor Who," "Red Dwarf," or anything else. I think of "Star Trek:TNG" as a "second series" since the first series was the original series "Star Trek." Thus "DS9" was a third series, "Voyager" was the 4th series, etc. They're NOT wrong in the UK; it's just *different* . I wonder what they *do* call shows set in the same fictional universe that are related to each other, e.g. "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood."
jdshultis they use the term “spin-off”
Series just means season.
And we would call dr who and torchwood, dr who and torchwood.
jdshultis we call them a spin off.
Torchwood would be regarded by the media as a “Spin off series” to Dr Who.
I don't care how Peter Dinklage feels about 'midgets', never take this down. My DVDs are 7000 miles away.
What
@@whatagreatnameaye1169 'Blue/White Midget' because some people can't differentiate between a model spaceship and little people.
The beach shots for better than life are just sad, even when i first saw the episode ive always pitied the cast, they look miserable.
I agree. It's a shame too, because parts of the UK have some fantastic beaches which would have been brilliant locations on a summers day.
It's a great episode but some of the location work really puts a dampener on it and with better location scouting and scheduling it didn't need to.
Sorry but David Ross was not a good Kryten.
Paul Jackson didn't get it, he was just there for the money.
He certainly wasn't, MaximusJohal. He wouldn't have done the recent Red Dwarf Quarantine examination of series 1 if he didn't love the show. Why should they agree to let Norman do less preparatory work for the same money?
Maximus, I agree. Paul wa a twat, and so was Norm :)
Nah, he's pretty clearly the hero of these early series
You got to be Joking, The Young Ones was so bizzare and outlandish it made Red Dwarf seem pretty straight forward.
He has a very good understanding on doing stuff which has never been done before in comedy shows
