All things RED Dwarf

You know, it just hit me:

When Holly gives Rimmer that triple-fried-egg-thing sandwich, he says "It's the state of the floor I'm worried about." Why does he say that? If Rimmer pukes, it's holo-vomit, so Holly can just make it go away.

Or maybe they were fans of Chelsea or Arsenal who are traditional rivals of Spurs. That would make more sense given the rather derogatory nature of the references.

Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.

I'm new to the Premier League so I don't really know who's rivals with who. Excepting the obvious of course. ;)
 
“Six thousand is not that much. It’s the same IQ as twelve thousand car park attendants.”

I think computer senility may have something to do with it. Or he just went for the cheap laugh
 
Lister: Rimmer, they're a bunch of arrogant, pompous, emotionally weird, stuck-up megalomaniacs -- do you really think you'll fit in with them? What am I saying? Bon voyage.
 
Lister picks up his boxer shorts that Kryten has washed and ironed

“No way are these my boxer shorts. These bend!” -Lister

-“Kryten”

Captain Hollister: Just one more thing before we start the disco. Holly tells me he's sensed a non-human life form on-board.
Lister: Sir, it's Rimmer!
 
Lister: Kryten all the warning lights are flashing. What does it mean?
Kryten: Well sir, we are either under attack, or we are having a disco
 
Holly:
Hang on I'm linking up with their on-board computer.

Hilly:
Hello, I'm Hilly.

Holly:
Hello, I'm Holly.

Hilly:
Hello Holly.

Holly:
Hello Hilly.

Hilly:
Wow this is a turn up innit. You'd better boogie on over and we can sort it out.

Holly:
Right on sis.

Hilly:
: See you Hol.

Holly:
: See you Hil.

[The Crew Stares at him]

Holly:
: I'm in there!
 
Dr. Lanstrom: "Hello, my name is Dr. Hildegard Lanstrom and I am quite, quite mad."

Rimmer: "Are you really, how absolutely splendid!"

Dr. Lanstrom: "I have a riddle for you: what is dead and dead and dead all over?"

Rimmer: "Give in, Dr. Frootloop. Do tell."

Dr. Lanstrom: 🎶"Yooooouuu."🎶

(Radio explodes)

Rimmer: " Well, we know what to get you for Christmas. A double lobotomy and 10 rolls of rubber wallpaper."
 
Holly: Eureka! I've done it!

Lister: Done what?

Holly: The Earl of Sandwich invented the sandwich.note Samuel Morse invented the Morse code. Plato invented the plate. And now I, Holly, have invented the Holly Hop Drive.

Rimmer: [sarcastically] Ooh, I can't wait to see it!

Holly: It's monumental, this. It's epoch-making. The Holly Hop Drive can transfer any object instantly to any other point in space.

Lister: [very interested] What, you mean we can go back to Earth?

Holly: In a matter of seconds.

Lister: What, you mean we can go back to Earth, like, right now? This instant??

Holly: [proudly] Right on.

Lister: [ecstatic] Rock and roll!

[cut to exterior shot of the ship, then the drive room; Lister, Cat, and Rimmer gape in disbelief at the Holly Hop Drive, a box about the size of a football]

Lister: Wh– is this it!?

Holly: What do you think? [smiles hopefully]

Lister: It's just... [picks it up] It's just a box with "Stop" and "Start" on it!

Holly: It's fairly straightforward. If you wanna start it, press "Start". And you can work out the rest of the controls for yourself.

Rimmer: It's absolutely pathetic. [Lister nods in agreement]

Holly: Right. Let's Holly Hop. Engage drive... drive engaged. Initiating ignition sequence... ignition sequence initiated.

Rimmer: Get on with it!

Holly: [defensively] Takes time, this! One slight error in any one of my thirteen billion calculations, we'll all be blasted to smithereens! Here we go, then: 10... 9... 8... 6... 5...

Rimmer: You missed out the 7!

Holly: [furrows brow] Did I? I've always had a bit of a blind spot with 7s...

Rimmer: [sing-songy] We're going to di-ie...

Holly: No problem, I'll start lower down. One, blast off! [Lister mashes the "Start" button]

Way too many pages of episode quotes, so if this has already been mentioned, forgive me in advance: new RD coming:

www.radiotimes.com

Red Dwarf 'returning to TV with 3 brand new episodes'

The three half-hour episodes will reportedly air in 2025.

I kind of hope this wraps up the show. He's right when he says he's much too old. We need some kind of resolution at this point.

Or maybe regeneration with a new cast.

Sorry. That got away from me for a minute.

Too much Timey-Wimey stuff

Don't be such a smeg head Cultcross...

All this abiding by rules....

You're about as popular as a horny dog at a miss lovely legs competition.


Respectful talking to a mod hat back on - no offence intended of course, just keeping in the spirit of the show (although I may have flamingo'd up here)
