Not gonna lie that Chimp Suit was so convincing I was sold that it was a real one until I saw Chimp Suit Actor in the end credits.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found Dr. E kind of adorkable and liked her getting on with Rimmer. I have to admit I did find her getting flushed out the airlock a little too dark.

Irene would have been an interesting crewmate if she had survived. Though they'd have needed to touch up her character to remain gormless, but vaguely useful, and adding to the comedy.

the chick who played her was so cutely dumb it sucked they just killed her off but her character was just a plot tool really her only defining characteristic was that she made wrong decisions which isn't much to work with so unless they gave her other stuff she would've just been a walking cliché.

Apparently they were supposed to reunite with Kochanski, but they didn't have the budget to do what Doug Naylor wanted so they opted out. Least that's what I heard, that's why Lister mentions Kochanski so much in X compared to XI and XII.

@Geoffrey forever I'm still curious as to what they were implying in Mechocracy. Were they refeering to Rimmer getting blown-up in Timeslides or the unseen death of nano-Rimmer

i guess since her name was Irene E it was ironic after all Rimmer's ranting about health and safety that he he kills her all cos he himself left a box in the hallway to be tripped over.

Maybe if they said “yes press that button, don’t get back inside” she might have lived

I've actually had the kind of kebabs they serve in the UK, the kind featured in this episode: The trick is basically to either don't go overboard with the veggies, to not bother with having any, or to start by eating the vegetables with a fork. Of course, it seems that Lister ordered a particularly large one from Kryten, SO...

Lister in Entangled: "Have you got a pen?" Rimmer in Thanks for the Memory: "I've always got a pen." Also, was this the first time Rimmer was told that when Lister died he will automatically be shut down? Harsh!!!

oh there was drama during season 4 alright haven't you seen the docs, season 4 had a female director and craig played merry hell with her by pissing about and time wasting during shoots and she couldn't control him so they soon replaced her for series 5.

Its strange how Doug Naylor can write an entire season which i think is hysterical and easily alongside Season 6 (IMO) as 1 of the best yet write episodes like Season 11 - Give and take or Season 12 cured. which are just appauling.. xD Eitherway another great Season 10 episode.

The ending is actually really dark and it's just glossed over lol. Another live human, finally... aaand now she's gone

As Chloë Annett's Kochanski is from a parallel universe and still hasn't returned, I'm wondering if since she left Red Dwarf prior to "Back to Earth", she found a linkway back to her universe. For all we know, she could well be reunited with her crew and the guys aren't even aware. Plus she doesn't get a lot of mention from Series XI onwards, as though Lister's given up on her.

Rimmer's fixation on health and safety reminds me of this one guy at work everyone hated because he treated it like a religion whose guidelines must be followed. He'd file a report if you removed your safety glasses just to scratch an itch on your head. He even filed a report when he found a sweet wrapper in the bin, due to no food being allowed on the work floor. Turns out the sweet belonged to a worker with diabetes who was just trying to control his blood sugar levels. The health and safety guy still wanted to report him. Eventually, the health and safety nut was fired due to abusing his authority. We all had a party in the break room after he left.

Wow, that definitely sounds like a Rimmer XD

How is it that Rimmer's light bee can also phase through the door?

I thought rimmers discussion of health and safety was more of a brittas empire reference.

Both this and Dear Dave were marred by production problems, and while I think that was probably for the best with Dear Dave since the reshoots gave Doug time to write funnier material, with Entangled I definitely think the end product suffered. The Chimp was going to be a much bigger part of the episode but because the guy playing the chimp could only perform for 45 minutes at a time and then needed an hour's rest Doug had to cut down his part significantly so in the final episode chimp is only on screen for about 2 minutes and the whole subplot feels a bit redundant.

The fact that this is technically the weakest of the season shows just what a return to form this season was for Red Dwarf

From what I remember, Kochanski wasn't going to appear in this episode, but it would've ended up with the chimp. But due to regulations for costumed actors in the UK, they couldn't use the monkey as much as they wanted, since the actor has to take a lot more breaks. But Kochanski was meant to be in the last two episodes of the season, in a two parter. A lot of it was going to be on location, but they had zero location filming budget, and due to the amount of time they had scheduled outside, and the weather, they decided they couldn't do it, and hence they spent a day doing the forest scene in Lemons. So the next episode Dear Dave was only half written when it was filmed. The vending machine subplot and Rimmer getting demoted were all written and filmed later, after studio filming. And with The Beginning, since it was the planned script for the film, Doug just thought "Well I've got a perfectly good script here, and by this point it's never gonna happen. I'm an episode short, I'll just cut this up to 30 minutes and use that." But then I suppose a lot of this you're gonna mention in the next two videos anyway, I imagine they're already recorded.

Re. . .Pete. . .

Fun Fact: This was actually the first episode I watched. I didn’t get into the lore until I kept watching clips on KZread and reading the Red Dwarf wiki.

Yeah, all the "health and safety" stuff sounds like the writer(s) have a beef with the bureaucracy of making television when it comes to stunts and stuff. Particularly with the BBC. However there is a reason the BBC are careful to the point of paranoia with Health and Safety because in the 80s and 90s they were far too lax about it and people died: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Late,_Late_Breakfast_Show#Death_of_Michael_Lush_and_cancellation And also the occasion when a Children's TV presenter was accidentally blown up/set on fire live: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4WjmNZypsbAicY.html - she survived but "suffered burns and temporary hearing loss, which led to a successful lawsuit against the BBC" Aside from that I think RD is at it's weakest when it leans heavy satire/social commentary such as this.

No 'banger and mash' for Lister...

originally dr e wasnt in the script would have used the chimp and the ending originally planned for the episode would have seen Rimmer and Lister bickering like a divorced couple over looking after the chimp . It was changed when it emerged that there were rules and regulations which governed how long performer Peter Elliott could play the role of the chimp without taking a break

red dwarf seriously went down in quality after rob grant left the show. "i'm referring to writing quality, not visually"

I liked this episode but damn they don't seem bothered that irene died just like that. it's like oh that cute lovely doctor lady (one of the few pleasant humans still left in existence) just died horribly and Rimmer and Lister are like "oh well, so anyways".

That's too much of a 'neat' ending. Rimmer should have been allowed to get his end away again, first time since series 5's Holoship. It'd be a much funnier show if the supposedly charmless one got more breaks with women because it's not like the others do.

Great review i agree with you that this is the weakest of series 10 but still good.A couple of minor nickpicks first that because her name/nick name makes irony, i mean was her whole life destined for that moment, and why is it more ironic for her to be right then and not before oh well rule of funny. Second the idea that Kochanski is only 31 surely she's at least 45.

The GELF costumes in this episode are the absolute worst I have seen on RD, including season 1. Look at their hands. They are just wearing crappy gloves and you can see most of their hand/arm. It's sooooo bad. Totally took me out of that episode. This was rushed and just bad compared to the rest of the season. If you know RD, you know that it has been rushed from day 1 with the writers thriving on last minute revisions, sometimes even on set. This REALLY shows it though, unlike more other episodes. Such a shame because season 10 is GREAT.

I think it’s okay but I really don’t like the way it down plays Professor E’s rather gruesome death especially as she could for all they know could be the only other human alive. Given the importance of that you think that the crew would be a little more upset

While this condition isn't exactly terminal, mine is becoming that more so each day because i can barely eat anything, i've been surviving on basically just Jolly Ranchers! Over a month or so ago when i was finally allowed to see a friggin' surgeon who could give me the probable life-saving surgery of a colostomy or lleostomy, he refused to do so because that surgery isn't normally done for someone in my situation. i begged him with tear-filled eyes to perform the surgery on me because nothing else has been working, i'm running out of time, and i'm hardly eating, and all he told me was "sorry, but i think you should continue your physical therapy" i've been doing that for over half a year by that point, and i still am now, but it's not helping, and even though my need for this surgery may be out of the norm, i should still have it done because my damn life depends on it! i could just break down and cry because no one is helping me, and i've been trying to get appointments set up at other hospitals, but they either don't do that type of surgery or want a referral, which i tried getting but my main doctor about this (who gave me her word she would give the referral when i find another place) refused to do so! i can't keep going on like this, i don't want to die.
