Also guys, Red Dwarf is steadily being released on DVD now, so any of you Americans that can't catch it on UKG2 or BBC2 you can still enjoy the Red Dwarf-y goodness.
Read the books! They're well worth it (although 'Last Human' is a bit of a tangent to the Red Dwarf style).
Some excerpts:
"He slipped the gold fob-watch out of his waistcoat, flicked open the cover and stared at the dial. The Cat had replaced the conventional numbers with a series of symbols, which stood for 'food', 'sex', 'snooze', 'light snooze', 'heavy snooze', 'major sleep', 'self-adoration hour', 'preening' and 'bathtime'. Right now, it was twenty past sex, or, to put it another way, quarter to food."
Rimmer, addressing Red Dwarf's Z Shift team:
"Silence. The book said silence could be as effective as speech, if used judiciously. Use silence, it urged. Rimmer stood there, being silent. Enough silence, he decided. More speech. 'When we do something, we do it fast and we do it right.' More silence. Still more silence. No, this was a dumb place to have silence. It just made him look like he'd forgotten what he was saying. 'This ship is three miles wide, four miles deep, and nearly six miles long. But ...' he paused again - a most excellent and petite silence, he congratulated himself. Very telling. '... if anywhere on it a vending machine so much as runs out of chicken soup, I want a member of Z Shift to be there within four minutes.' More silence. The best silence yet."
Gazpacho soup:
"20.40 and 2.7 seconds. Rimmer placed his hand on the wheel lock of stasis booth 1344. He heard what sounded like a nuclear wind roaring down the corridor towards him. It was, in fact, a nuclear wind roaring down the corridor towards him. <i>What now?</i> he thought, rather irritably, and was suddenly hit full in the face by a nuclear explosion. 0.57 seconds before he expired, Rimmer realised he was going to die. His life didn't flash before him, He didn't think of his parents, or his brothers or his home. He didn't think of the failed exams or the wasted time in stasis booths. He didn't even think about his one, brief love affair with Yvonne McGruder, the ship's female boxing champion. What he did, in fact, think of was a bowl of soup. A bowl of gazpacho soup. Then he died. Then everyone died."
Taken from 'Red Dwarf (Infinity welcomes careful drivers)' and 'Better than life'.

*ship is on blue alert* Rimmer: Go to red alert Kryten: Are you absolutely sure sir? It does mean changing the bulb. Cat: Forget red! Go to brown alert! Kryten: There's no such thing as brown alert sir. Cat: You won't be saying that in a minute, and don't say I didn't alert you!

Guess whats playing on my second monitor (oh how I love getting BBC and recording it on my comp <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)
Thing I hated most was either the transition to good effects or when Holly changed to Hilly (Hilly just sucked IMHO). That episode with the waxdroids, that was awesome for cheesy effects. When Rimmer and Kryten appeared on the planet, they cut to cheesy claymation 30's-esque dinosaur film.
As for favourite quotes, "I am Holly, the ship's computer, with an IQ of 6000, the same IQ as 6000 PE teachers." - Holly (who else could claim they were Holly?) "A pub - ahh yes. A meeting place where people attempt to achieve advanced states of mental incompetence, by the repeated consumption of fermented vegetable drinks." - Kryten
And finally: Cat: "I'm not asking you to do anything I wouldn't do." Rimmer: "You? You'd sacrifice your life for the good of the crew?" Cat: "No! I'd sacrifice your life for the good of the crew."
I much preffered the Holly from the first two series (Norman) than Hilly for the rest of them, Even when Holly came back in Series 8, he didn't seem the same as when he was in the first. In the first two, Norman played the character of Holly perfectly.
