What happened?

i enjoyed it but i think the thing that will ruin it for most people is its shot like a movie, not like a sitcom. theres no live audience or laughter track, the production values are HUGE. the sets aren't crappy dingy lit sets anymore, they're all top notch brand new sets and theres tons of CG. The Scutters are now CG, the large sets are now CG. production wise, its spectacular. Writing wise, not as funny as the older stuff. i mean within the first 5-10 minutes theres already a sad moment when its revealed that someone has died (i won't reveal who). This is Doug's "Red Dwarf: The Movie" downsized and brought to TV. its as simple as that. although the new hologram is freakin hot.

Although i may add, even though this is dougs, it is revealed to be a Rob Grant/Doug Naylor production. the first since Series 6.

it wasn't very funny. actually, it wasnt funny. With the exception of Big Suz from peep show in a sexy little number it was pretty dire.

still, something to watch before match of the day tonight.

wasn't as bad as last night, still not particuarly funny tho. it'll be interesting to see how they pull it together with just half an hour to go.

Perhaps one the reasons it hasnt set the heather alight is that the episodes are shorter as they're not on the Beeb anymore, and the first thing to get lost when tightening up a show are the gags.

wait they figure out they're just characters and try to find the creators to beg for more life... hasn't doug naylor just stole the storyline to "the League of Gentlemen's Apocalypse"?

mmk. thats it? thats the ending? i would've prefered Lister to stay in that reality so it would've been a proper ending. that was such an anticlimax. that was a terrible ending, i'm sorry. at least if Lister died, there couldn't be anymore cos it was originally about Lister's survival and ths is Lister's death but nooo. dammit, it should've ended at the clouds. then cut to credits.

dont know why, but i quite enjoyed the last episode. it would've been too cheap to kill of lister in a dave 3 part easter special, y'know?

i'd be surprised if they dont do more episodes off the back off this tbh and hopefully they'll do something worthwhile. and a bit funnier.

It was ok but it really did suffer without Holly. Was I the only one to guess from the first episode it was just another despair squid??
