    9:07 - The song in question (He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother by The Hollies) was a number 1 hit in the UK when released in 1969 but is more well known to younger audiences because of an advert for, of all things, Miller Lite:

      Yeah, someone else mentioned that. Like I said, I did look it up to find out it was a song, but I didn't pick up on that bit of trivia. It explains why the audience groaned =P

    I just watched the "Supper is ready" scene on BBC's channel, and I saw this comment.
    "Fun fact: When they were filming the explosion for this scene, they didn't use a petrol explosion like most film crews do. Oh no. They'd made friends with members of the military while they were filming on an airforce base for a previous episode, and they offered to lend them some real explosives and the expertise to use them, so that they could get a PROPER explosion rather than just your typical Hollywood petrol-fireball. The resulting explosion set off car alarms and broke several windows miles away. They had to deal with some complaints after that."

    2:52-3:04 I love how in the editing process they could have trimmed out the frames of the obviously fake Kryten head or use the explosion flash playing havoc with the camera's exposure to their advantage, in order to make a more seamless transition, but it is so much funnier to see the mannequin head for a fraction of a second before it blows up.

    @MoreRubberyThanTurgid 3 роки тому +3

    This Pride and Prejudice is draws heavily on the 1995 BBC miniseries adaptation that launched Colin Firth’s career. It’s considered the definitive version and one of the greatest period dramas ever made (if you like that kind of thing). We love it... but the mother and younger sisters are f**king annoying in order that the narrative shows the other characters in various favourable(ish) lights. Seeing Kryten pick them off then nail them with the tank is one of the funniest moments in sitcom history, let alone Red Dwarf. Perfect.

    7:38 - the music fits in nicely... i had to go find it.. it took me a while but there is a techno compilation album from Carlin Music (or "Carlin 227") called "Power/Pop/Hi-Tech". Available in England... Entitled "Automaton", the track is #8 with a condensed remake being track #9. There is a coda for it as track #27. Composer's name is Chunky Nelson. It's not the easiest album to find, but for 1995 techno goodness, that's the ticket.

    I mostly agree with your assessment. I do love this episode mostly because of the first act with the whole Pride and Prejudice slapstick (partly for personal reasons; my parents were huge Jane Austen fans and used to watch reruns of P&P all the time, and whenever I walked in on it as a kid I just thought it was so boring and stupid - I thought it was mostly about some middle-aged trollop sitting in a chair and crying histrionically all the time - so seeing the entire cast get blown up by a tank always felt so cathartic to me) but it does have some problems. Mostly because the entire plotline of Abel wasn't really delved into and the character feels a bit like a waste. Notice how, after he's taken aboard Starbug, he never interacts or has any real scenes with the crew aside from Kryten scolding him. I feel like there was a lot of Abel scenes shot that were then left on the cutting room floor because of time constraints - the creators were putting in so many things (the P&P scenes that, while absolutely hilarious, don't really have anything to do with the story, the search for the spare heads and the conflict with the simulant, Kryten and Lister summarizing the moral of the episode) that they had to leave out most of the Abel stuff which you think might've been the most important stuff to keep in. Some RD episodes can cram in a ton of interesting ideas and make them work beautifully (Back to Reality, for example); this episode, unfortunately, didn't. Still, it's a funny and at times touching episode - the Pride and Prejudice opening is worth the price of admission alone - and another little gem from the in my opinion very underrated 7th season of Red Dwarf.

    For me, it's an episode of two halves. I actually love the first half of the episode up until Kryten's head blows up. Everything after that never really hit home for me, as it wasn't funny or interesting, more like a bit of a meandering plot thereafter. Still, that first chunk never fails to make me smile at some point, and I think it's down to how Kryten's revenge in Pride and Prejudice world in general, as well as how ridiculous the entire cast is during that segment.

    @thumbwarriordx 6 років тому

    I like how Kryten cheats in a T-72 "from the WWII program". If you don't know much about Russian tanks, their naming convention isn't the most precise thing in the world thanks to bureaucratic nonsense, but is generally somewhere around the year they were put into development or began manufacturing.
    So my meta-headcanon is that Rob and Doug brilliantly predicted the prevalence of DLC in the future.
    ....and is in no way a simple mistake stemming from the fact that they couldn't get a T-42 to fire live ammo with, and there was no major war fought with the T-72. Just dozens of minor ones because they sold those things to absolutely everybody.

    I think that was more of a roundhouse than an axe kick. The axe kick gets its name from bringing your heel down upon your opponent in a manner similar to swinging an axe.

      I'm no expert, so I made it a point to look up a video of someone doing an axe kick and all of the variations on it--one of them looks exactly like what Lister does. Also, pretty sure a roundhouse involves turning the whole body around and not just the leg.

But an easy mistake to make if you don't actually train these kinds of things yourself. Axe kick is a downwards strike of the heel after lifting the leg up high. A roundhouse kick has rotation of the leg the other way, it's an inwards kick of the right leg (and body) making contact with the inner side of the right foot or leg rather than an outwards kick of the leg like the reverse crescent.

    @MichaelBrookham 3 роки тому

    I was the exact opposite, Cyborcat. I did not like this one. I even felt opposite the way you felt when Kryten was demanding that they eat before they play their game. What big deal was it that they eat right away, when they could have had it later, perhaps for supper? Maybe Kryten didn't realize that it was not supper time yet.
    I found this episode somewhat of a clone to Star Trek TNG's "Datalore" episode, which features Data finding out that he has a twin brother. Granted the opening part of this episode did have promise, but I did not like the rest of it. I found too much not working right, like you said that they just happened to have had GELF outfits on that ship. I even found Kochanski's "Hue" joke to be corny. This was too crummy of an episode for me. Enough said.

    • @Cyborcat
      @Cyborcat  3 роки тому +1

      Really? The big deal is that they were being extremely rude and dismissive--when someone goes to the trouble of making you a meal, especially something complex and expensive, like lobster, you eat it. Meanwhile, the game didn't take any effort on anyone's part and they could play it later without it being a bother to re-prepare, etc..
