I love how Cat brought up the laser cannons again, just in case the ship had grown some since the last time. Being thorough is a virtue.

excellent - a bit like the Avon to Vila comment in Blake's Seven something like: Of course you are entitled to your opinion. The problem is that you seem to think that we are entitled to your opinion.

Gold. The other great running gag was: "That's it, I'm invoking Space Directive 23459." "Let's see, sir, 23459..."

Well, first, you can't train eels to tap-dance, because they're eels. And second, we don't have any eels, making the first point moot.

At least they made up Robbie Rocket Pants for the series instead of just referencing something we already know from our world.

Always just those two minor draw backs

On two occasions my father mimicked the one from holoship, where it was the same flaw, but Kryten thought it was necessary to mention twice.

I like that a lot of these running jokes are for 1 season

I love this show my favourite tv show of all time I think.

I guessing the last one would have been “we don’t have any lasers and if we did they don’t use barrels!” That’s if Cat let him answer.

One of my favorite joke of the entire show.

Not really. One of the guiding principles of Red Dwarf was that it wanted to avoid a lot of the Trek cliches, so doing the opposite of what Trek did would have been perfectly in keeping with that ideal. 🙂

Of course not. Cat had undergone 3 million years of evolution whilst Lister was stasis. Rimmer was a hologram of the original Arnold Judas Rimmer, who - together with Dave Lister (Technician 3rd Class - the lowest rank possible) - helps maintain the chicken soup vending machines onboard the Red Dwarf, which even the robots didn’t do. Dave Lister had smuggled an quarantined pregnant cat onboard the ship, hence Cat (Danny John Jules). The reason Lister survived was that he had been sentenced to 18 months in stasis, without pay!

Epic :D Thanks for posting this!

This all leads up to Gunmen of the Apocalypse when Cat suggests a complicated plan (which they end up doing) and then when there is agreement he says something like "you are going to listen to one of my plans, are you crazy?" 😂 Then it happens again and he says"twice in one lifetime? When you're hot you're hot!"

"White hole"... Red Dwarf was so inclusive.

When "Holoship" aired on UKG2 they cut out 1:23 to 1:46, but kept in 1:58 to 2:07, so the joke made no sense...

In Red Dwarf, it was spelt Kryten. He was based on a character from a classic stage play, The Admirable Crichton. His look may owe something to Max Headroom, but it's probably just down to the practicalities involved in making a human actor look like a robot. Sorry, mechanoid.

At the risk of being labelled a nerd, defensive shields are strong enough to defend you from deliberate (and accidental) attack, whereas navigational shields protect only from typical minor interstellar debris.
