There was a whole city of cat people living in the hold of Red Dwarf. Most of them are either dead or left the ship. Only the Cat and the Blind Priest were left at the time Lister came out of stasis.

Good reaction but I'm afraid you missed out a bit at the very end where Rimmer's voice is heard over the credits shouting "it's a garbage pod - IT'S A SMEGGING GARBAGE POD!" 😄😄😄

The first time I watched this episode was WAY back in the 90ies on PBS and THAT Credit Roll literally had me on the floor gasping for air! Just how the credits and music start normally then it all stops as Rimmer says. "Its a Garbage Pod!" then the music and credits continue for a time and then they stop again as Rimmer says, "Its a SMEGGING Garbage Pod!" was not seen on American TV anyway up till then. You expected when the show was over it WAS over!

@@benlee8436 I do NOT remember any "Strange" things in the ending credits of TV shows before this, most were just a word crawl over a still picture. About the only thing that came close was the Ending Credits of the Beverly Hillbillies where the credits would start on the house's front door and after a few seconds the door would open and the family would come out and wave to the audience BUT this happened EVERY episode and not as part of a specific episode.

I think the greater story here is that artificially intelligent appliances have been running on supervised for 4 million years and they're developing quirks.

Re: Rimmer being worried about quarantine despite being a Hologram - You've got to remember that Rimmer is a jobsworth & loves enforcing the rules because it makes him feel important, he's also a sm*ghead.

actor who played lister started out as a spoken word poet....

Of course Rimmer is worried... He just wants to torment Lister... That is his whole job to keep him sane.... =-)

that "priest guy" was a cat person you even said yourself earlier on that there had to be more of them anyway good reaction

Originally, Lister went on a pub crawl in London, got blind drunk, and woke up penniless on Mimas. He signed up on Red Dwarf to get back home, and when he learned how long it would take for the ship to return to Earth, he smuggled a cat aboard, *intending to get caught,* so he could skip most of the trip. If I recall the story correctly, Earth did send explorer ships looking for other sentient life in the galaxy. They never found any, and the ones that made it back home caused a bureaucratic nightmare, as well as some awkward family reunions, what with time dilation and so on. Personally, I expect there *is* sentient life out there, and the chances of ever meeting them are rediculous. Religion has inspired some impressive art and architecture, but... yeah. The irony is, Jesus, I like. Son of god or schizophrenic, if he thought he was saving people, he died a hero. Christians, on the other hand, are a depressingly mixed bag. I've always said, if you want to be a good christian, follow the example of Christ. If they can't do that, they should stop pretending.

RADA-trained Noel Coleman repeatedly struggled with the word 'slobbiness' throughout his scenes as the Cat Priest. To be fair, he probably hadn't come across it too often. I suspect he was more used to the works of Wilf Shakespeare.

in the early years, Craig Charles and Chris Barrie legitimately didn't get along (by Season/Series 5 they were buds). This is one of the episodes where the IRL tension gives the on screen tension that extra little edge, like in the bit where Rimmer first starts screaming about the Quagaars.

Have you seen the film Dogma ?

You will see "Cat" actor Danny John-Jules again if you get around to the brilliant series Death In Paradise!

Just realised I worded that wrong ment to say in regards toast I ment it to say simply get your partner to make it. As long as they can make very good toast. Love hot buttered toast with a mug of sweet tea

You should watch Dark Star.

Religion doesn't cause problems. It's the misinterpretion or twisting of religious beliefs that causes problems.

I think you would love the toaster in Fallout New Vegas. It's one of the funniest characters in the whole game.

Rimmer just likes bossing Lister around.

I love that you are enjoying this series so much so early on. For me they didn't get really good until series 3 (some of series 2 was great as well)

You have to remember that a lot of things you think are impossible are possible in Red Dwarf....as you will find out. When I say impossible, I mean impossible. 😁

why would you put toast in the toaster?

Good to see that you really seemed to enjoy this episode. I really like it too. Apparently the writers aren't that keen on it. Well, I'm pretty sure Doug Naylor isn't. Not too sure on Rob Grant's take on it.

You have to go to the cupboard, take out the loaf, take off the little plastic tag if you can find the end. Then you have to take two slices out of the packet. Do up the tag again. Put the loaf back in the cupboard. Put the toast in the toaster. Press down the lever. Find a clean plate to put the toast on when it pops up from the toaster. Go to the fridge to get the butter out. Open the packet. Find a knife. Butter the toast. Make tea or coffee. Wash up everything afterwards. It really is a LOT of work. 🤣🤣😂😂

Series 1 & 2 of RD are my favorite. From series 3 onwards it becomes more action based and looks much better, but the first two series feature more of the Lister/Rimmer dynamic that I love, with the bunk scenes that provide some excelent character developments.

Grant and Naylor have agreed to share the rights to Red Dwarf, but I don't think they are ever going to work together again. They are being civil to each other now, but are no longer friends. Grant has stated that he intends to do a prequel to Red Dwarf, with some cameos from the original cast.
