i was born in 2002, but i'm a loyal dwarfer! Lovely to see this show still has a loyal fanbase, it's so cool!!

And adding new fans all the time 👍👍👍👍

As a smuggler once said, "She's not much to look at, but she's got it where it counts." Starbug is an underdog ship, battling on against a hostile universe and performing far beyond anything she has any right to be capable of. She looks the infinite terrors of the void straight in its millions of googly eyes and tells them to Smeg-Off!

Fully picturing this said to the Space Corps anthem! Beautifully put 🥰

"nreet, rtut, hnunga"...brilliant

Speaking seriously though, one thing that I felt that Red Dwarf always did supremely well was the appalling oblivion of deep space. Even in the early series when the crew are still aboard Red Dwarf with all its amenities there's a conscious undercurrent of everyone struggling to keep their heads above water and not drown in the sheer terminal boredom of being three million years out from civilisation. In series 6 & 7 when they move to Starbug full-time they also really do make it clear that the Dwarfers are utterly on the bones of their arse and living hand-to-mouth on whatever they can scavenge. It's surprisingly aware for a show that has a reputation for just being a slacker comedy, and I appreciate that your video took some time to cover that.

I think you’ve described exactly why the show has such lasting appeal. The early series, being broadly low in budget and energy allowed the show to lean into more philosophical areas and though the book went into more detail, the general sadness and guilt of being the last man alive. I covered a lot of that off in my second Red Dwarf episode, too. Life on Starbug has more to distract, but the core story of a bunch of guys stuck together still applies - no life, no job, no sex - and as someone who was on lockdown with two other men in a small flat from 2020, it feels VERY familiar. What I love from S6 is how the boys do take things more seriously - taking shifts, fixing problems, doing what they have to do to survive and only just about managing to do that!

It has a lot in common with the film Dark Star in terms of how dull and boring deep space travel would be

"It can't have escaped anyone's attention that things have been rather strained as of late."

“Go to red alert” “Sir, are you sure, it will mean changing the bulb?”

Broadcast in all known frequencies and all known languages... including Welsh! Great delivery as always by Chris!

Gentlemen there’s something coming toward us and it’s bigger than King Kong’s first dump of the day

This baby's crashed more times than a ZX81!🤣🤣 Glad to see Starbug in the spotlight!👍👍

Really fun video.😂👍 Thank you very much. I miss red dwarf dearly❤️

Glad to see more Red Dwarf goodness, great work as always

Up the ziggurat, lickity split! Thanks for watching!

If fans don’t see the subtle similarities. The Starbug is a homage to the Eagles(Space:1999). But unlike Space:1999 and ST:Voyager. Via the logic of limits, Red Dwarf has and keep the exact number of Starbugs in the hanger bay due to the BBC budget!!!!

I love those Eagles too!

Another wonderful video! I asked you if you were gonna make a Starbug video after your last Red Dwarf episode, and you did not disappoint! I love Starbug, even though it looks like a shit place to live! But it's the toughest and most surprising little piece of junk ever! And the boys from the 'Dwarf' have gone on so many adventures with Starbug and owe their continued existence to it!!! XD I think Starbug deserves a place in the history of little ships that 'could'!

Couldn’t have put it better myself! It’s not exactly a flying hotel, but what it lacks in grace it makes up for with sheer bloody mindedness! That baby has crashed more than George Michael and still comes up punching!

You should do a video in this series for Blue Midget...both types. AND, the "redesigned" Red Dwarf from series 7-8... A J Rimmer's reaction after "THAT is a time hole" is pure comedic genius! 5:43 You notice there's no stars...? I did. Hit the Retros! In any kind of stasis, hair and nails would't grow... 9:25 Starbug was miles from Red Dwarf, how far does the computer project...??? Streets Of Laredo...I believe it's pronounced "La-Ray-Do" 25:40 Thats Kinitowowi, not what you said...and one was Ainsley Harriet! Fun Fact: The "Lister Of Smeg" and "Jane Austin with a Tank" parts are removed on TV these days...as is the "Teaching Kryten to lie" part. Censorship, I guess...

Someone has suggested Blue Midget before - I might do it as a mini episode, not a huge amount of material to use unfortunately! Thanks for the pointers!

Plz continue this series, love it.

Another great video. Starbug is one of my favourite ships. Have you considered doing a video on the Tardis?

Never say never.. but might need to wait and see if we get another episode walking around the inside!

Ah, Starbug. It has no shields. It has no weapons. Its propulsion drive is so slow it can be outpaced by most milk-floats, and its water filtration system is so ineffective it's healthier to drink Dutch beer. But as many time as it's crash-landed, it's collided, it's been shot down, it just... keeps... going!

Love these videos please make more!!

I just adore your videos. The whole "cruise ship review" aesthetic hits me right in my happy place. With that in mind, can I please request a review of an *actual* sci-fi cruise liner like The Fhloston Paradise from the movie The Fifth Element or something else from the TV tropes page "Starship Luxurious"? My absolute favourite ships to see you cover would be the Von Braun and Rickenbacker from System Shock 2. But I can't in good conscience ask you to spend days or weeks playing a 23 year-old video game that requires manually installing a community patch and the Rebirth mod to get the best effect. For that, I'll wait until you open a Patreon.

Thank you so much - it’s awesome to hear this style hits the spot! I would love to cover Fhloston Paradise, I’d just have to see how much footage I can squeeze out of the film - definitely can see what else we have on the TV Tropes page though! The Avalon and The Axiom are definite contenders! Patreon, you say? 🤔 Never say never!
