Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

...==** WHAT IS RED DWARF..?== Red Dwarf is a sci-fi comedy which was initially created in 1983 with the first series being aired on the BBC. In the very beginning there was an on board radiation leak, (thought to be caused by the incompetent Rimmer) which killed everyone on board apart form Lister, who was imprisoned in ‘Stasis’, (suspended animation) for possessing an illegal life form, ( a cat he had found on a planet). Lister was held in stasis ...
...he and the crew of Red Dwarf run into many obstacles, some serious, some silly, but all very dangerous for a man lost in space. ==**LIST OF CHARACTERS…== '''Dave Lister''', _(Craig Charles)_, was the lowly technician on the doomed mining ship before the fatal radiation leak and is now the only human left alive. He survives on hot curries and home made drinks, which gives him a rather ’different’ odour, although this goes well with his ’relaxed’ ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

...up to series IV of Red Dwarf. What can i say? Reviewing DVD's has given me a reason to watch all these again and im having a great time doing it. I just hope your enjoying the reviews. Series IV see's the cast pretty much set and settled into their roles. The only major change was one for the better as production shiffted from BBC studios in Manchester to Shepperton studios outside london. This now meant the the cast could rehearse on set, rather ...
...The success of the Red Dwarf novels, Infinity welcomes carefull drivers and Better than life. Had allowed Rob Grant and Doug Naylor to tidy up a few parts of the story that they had found a little unworkable. So from this point on Red Dwarf belonged to the 23rd century and not the 21st. In addition the crew had been increased from 169 to 1169. With all but Lister now dead. This is not unreasonable considering the ship is 5 miles long. Also Listers ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

...from Earth... the mining ship, Red Dwarf... It's crew: Dave Lister, the last human being alive. Arnold Rimmer, a hologram of his dead bunk-mate, and a creature who evolved from the ship's cat..." From this simple beginning, the boys from the Dwarf tickle the imagination, tease smiles forth on the gloomiest of days, and taunt the most reluctant viewer into rollicking laughter at someone else's expense. Let the adventures begin! Season four of BBC's ...
...that he didn't murder the Red Dwarf crew through his incompetence! Kryten feels he is up to the task of successfully representing Rimmer though, "This man is not guilty of manslaughter, he is only guilty of being Arnold J. Rimmer. That is his crime; it is also his punishment." In White Hole the crew is working on a way to restore Holly's full intelligence. Reviving Lister's old annoying Talkie Toaster to use as a guinea pig, Kryten is certain that ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

...Series 4 of the Red Dwarf sees the show reaching maturity in terms of cast, crew and production. Becoming more and more popular on both sides of the Atlantic the clunky production of the first two series are a distant memory. Movie style sets and special effects make the show much more professional looking and the quality of the acting takes another step forward. Some of the episodes may be a touch leaden but the leads are more than capable of carrying ...
...Red Dwarf story, here is a brief recap. Dave Lister (Craig Charles) is the sole surviving crew member of the spaceship Red Dwarf. Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), who was previously his superior, has been brought back as a hologram by the ships computer, Holly (Hattie Hayridge), to keep Lister company. Also on board is The Cat (Danny John Jules), a creature who has evolved from Lister's pet cat and the mechanoid Kryten (Robert Llewellyn). Having been ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

...If you've never heard of Red Dwarf before, I'd recommend reading one of the Series One reviews to get a better idea of what the show is about. Still three million years into deep space, Dave Lister (Craig Charles) is still the last human alive, and together with his shipmates, an onboard computer Holly, (Hattie Hayridge) a hologram of his dead bunkmate, Rimmer (Chris Barrie), a life form that evolved from his pet cat, known simply as The Cat (Danny ...
...Having reached its forth series, Red Dwarf had secured its place as a success. The BBC was therefore willing to spend a little more money on the show. This shows I think in terms of the sets, which now look even more stylish and realistic, (thanks to Mel Bibby's continuing expertise) and this really helps to carry the show to a new level. Visually, there are occasional problems with lighting given Robert's prosthetic-mask and Danny's dark skin colour, ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

Red Dwarf - Series 4 is the fourth season in the long running space sitcom starring Craig Charles and Robert Llewellyn and Danny John-Jules, Red Dwarf. The recording of this season moved to Shepperton Studios because the old studio in Manchester was undergoing refurbishments. The Gulf War was the reason for the postponing of two episodes, "Meltdown" and "Dimension Jump". As a result these were shown as the last two episodes of this season. A lot ...
...as the name of official Red Dwarf convention. There really isn't a bad episode in the bunch, from "Camille" with it's great Casablanca references and the moment where the cat meets the person he dreams of, to "Justice", in which Rimmer is sentenced to 1,167 years for killing the entire Red Dwarf and it's up to Kryten to prove that he just feels guilty, he didn't actually do it because he's a complete pleb. I could talk about all the episodes really ...

Red Dwarf series 4. ============ This wonderfully funny and fantastically written show ran for eight series and almost had a film made, sadly not to be. Starring; Craig Charles - Dave Lister Arnold J Rimmer - Chris Barrie Cat - Danny John-Jules Kryten - Robert Llewellyn Holy was played by two people, Norman Lovett and later Hattie Hayridge. Although Norman did return later in the series. Kristine Kochanski was also played by two people Clare ...

He is the only survivor, except that is for the cat which was deep in the bowls of the ship and was pregnant at the time it was brought aboard. Over the generation it in breeds and generation after generation ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 4 (DVD)

This whole series is worth seeing just for the look on Listers face when a genetically altered Kryten (now human for this episode only) hands him a double polaroid of his newly acquired "re-charge socket" as asks "is this normal?" Apparently, Craig Charles had no idea what was going to be on the photos that were handed to him, I don't know what it was, but he looked genuinely stunned. There's also Lister desperately trying to teach Kryten to break ...
...and getting him to say it's an aardvark and equally as desperately continuing to try to teach him to call Rimmer smeg head. Kryten even has a love interest in this series in the form of Camile, who turns out to be a pleasure gelf who appears as whatever your ideal mate is, so each of the crew see what, for them, would make their ideal partner. The Cat is quite shocked when he sees his ideal partner, but then when you know how self-obsessed he is, ...
