Red Dwarf was part of the best times of my life. My 20's, living in Montreal. All of my friends and I were huge RD fans. We'd convoy our cars across the Vermont border to volunteer at the PBS station, manning the pledge drive phones when they aired Red Dwarf marathons. PS. Loving your new Electric Car Show. About d*man time. PPS. Just visited England and SO loved the people. Even in London. As nice now as my last trip 20 years ago. Not sure we can say the same. Shame mode.

Red Dwarf is my most favourite show ever. I was lucky enough to stumble upon it 2 am, on a public broadcasting stations, what a life changing event ;)

That is an extraordinary and wonderful tale, I will pass it on to the others. Thanks

Started watching Red Dwarf when I was 10! So happy 20th Anniversary!! and i still love RD!

I was 3 years old when it started, and have loved every minute of since I first saw it. Without doubt, one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Thanks for the laughs Rob.

21 years now! We still owe you guys so much for all those memories.

Downhill...... are you mad?? I loved series 5 and 6 but it didn't end there or go downhill... it just went up the road abit. Our expectations were so high for this series that we missed the fact it was still a great show. I love it. I will always love it and 10 years, 20 years, 30years after the last series, I would still pay my hard earned cash to be the first through the door to watch the movie. Movie ,Movie, movie. Bring it on I say.

The lightning sound at the end almost gave me a heart attack. Red Dwarf = Best TV show ever.

red dwarf was always me fav tv program. loving your work. thank god for tv gold for keeping it running

Red Dwarf, eh? They should make some more sometime... ;)

Thanks, Rob. Was watching a couple from season 5 & 6 last night to commerate the anniversary myself. Thanks again for the laughs & the trip down memory lane whenever I put on an episode.

Red Dwarf was the most awesome of Comedy Sci-Fi's. You guys are all legends and I loved every single episode and have the box set on DVD including the Dave 'Back To Earth' which was based on my favourite Sci-Fi movie of all time Blade Runner. Very cleverly done. I would have loved there to be a movie of RD but alas that may never happen. Here's hoping though. Thanks for sharing your memories of this great series.

A friend of mine lent me video tapes of Red Dwarf when I was in high school, back in the early 90s and in a very dull part of the northeastern United States. I was hooked from the beginning. I didn't see--because he didn't have it--the episode called "Kryten", so the first Kryten I saw was His Llewellynship...and I actually had a brief moment of terror because the make-up was utterly convincing at first. I was like, "WhatinHELL am I SEEING???" Still love this show, years on. Great TV. :)

i can remember watching Red Dwarf late on BBC2 on Tuesdays. I'd wait up just for it and loved every second. Thanks Rob for that and this channel.

I've watched an episode at least once a week for these last 21 years, they never lose their charm..... Thanks Krytie

Late one night, I was channel-surfing and happened across the PBS station. I saw an android trapped in some wreckage and watched in amazement as he removed his eyeball and his hand, attached the one to the other, and sent the whole thing off for help like some freaky cyclops-spider thing! As the next few minutes unfolded, I was confused as hell, but instantly hooked. It was so bizarre, I couldn't look away! Thus, Kryten was my introduction to the best TV show in the world. Thanks, Llew!

Hello bobbyllew Interesting information Mr Kryten, good facts. Stay tuned. I was there when it started. 1988.

I cant say for others but I have all the series dvd's graet to pop in when ever in the mood for a bit of Dwarf

What a Show it was, thank god for uktv gold for still showing it. i would love to see just 1 more series made. loving your work rob. thanks for making this youtube videos.

I love Red Dwarf! It's one of my favorite shows.

i am a huge red dwarf fan amazing i cant believe it has been 20 years since it first started it is a shame they never made a movie you never know that that would be so awesome i still hope there will be a red dwarf movie you were awesome as kryten keep up the good work bobby

I love pointless anecdotes, they make the world go round.

Absolute pleasure to watch ur latest Clip Rob and I am an Avid RD fan. Won't tell you how sad I am but I would just like to say thank you! Whenever I'm down and need cheering up I bring out the Red Dwarf and feel better. Keep on Smegging! xx

this is brilliant, i love stories and anecdotes like this. thanks so much for uploading!

Red Dwarf Forever! :D I hope that one of these days, you and the rest of the Red Dwarf cast will get together again Robert, either for a movie or another series, but Red Dwarf will always be one of my favorite shows to watch. Thank you for the memories you and the Red Dwarf crew have provided Robert. Hope to see more laughs soon. :D

i absolutely love red dwarf and im so glad its coming back. well done bobby i cant wait

I remember when my mum used to let me stay up to watch Red Dwarf when I was younger. It was probably my favourite TV show back then. I only realised you were Kryten when I started watching your youtube videos a few months back!!

Great video. Thanks Robert! I hope Red Dwarf does get a proper send off, one way or another. It seems bizarre to end a show which was at the height of its popularity on a cliffhanger. Thanks for your part in all the enjoyment the show has given me and my friends.

Red Dwarf 10 years old abd still as funny as when it was first shown Many happy returns, and yes i would sign the petitition if there was one to make the movie as long as it remains faithful to the series ^-^

@bobbyllew I am a Smeg head for not finding your channel earlier. I watched Red Dwarf from the start and always loved the humour, it still stands up today. Why don't they make shows like it now? The time is right for a Red Dwarf film. Thanks for the years of pleasure you have given the fans. Keep up the good work.

As a recent subscriber to LLEWTUBE just want to say thank you. Your a star, you and the other RD crew. You've made me laugh so much. Been catching up on your musings on Wet Liberal Weekly and will get round to viewing your other blogs. Please keep up the good work. Back to Earth was well worth the wait.

My favourite show ever :)

hi! just wanted to say that red dwarf was one of the best tv show ever made!!! i loved it! i have all the dvds! one of my many favourite scenes fro mred dwarf is in serie 3 'the ploymorth' when listers boxers were shrinking & he was screaming at u to "pull them down!" & then rimmer walks in saying to lister " well im not surprised you'll bonk anything!" LOL! well i REALLY hope & pray that there is a red dwarf moving coming out in the near future! :)

Rimmer: Step up to Red Alert! Kryten: Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb. Brilliant!

Great Sci Fi sitcom. We need more. Here in the US they tried the genre with "Homeboys in Outerspace" but they never quite got the hang of it.

I love that I'm the same age as Red Dwarf so I get to celebrate along with it! ^_^ A fantabulous show; it's such a shame about the movie. That would be (and, with an enormous amount of luck, still could be) one of the best films of all time. Keep the vids up, Bobby! You're a treasure! .x.Sess.x.

i love all those Krytie's faces (joy, jealousy, cheekiness) in VIII season in the firts episode and the interwiev with psychologist - that's just great :D

Great show, I hope there's a film. Or at the very least a Christmas special. If To the manor born got one!!!!

Gap or none, I'd pay to see the Red Dwarf crew again.. big screen or not! I loved/love Red Dwarf, and honestly, your character was #1 reason.

Kryten was (is) my favorite mechanoid of all time, ever since he uttered something like"I so want to learn to be more human, so I can tell lies & tell these guy's to f-off" 5 stars

His interviews on the RD DVDs are absolutely hilarious!

red dwarf is brilliant now as it has ever been. the scripts especially series 7 are EXCEPTIONAL and also people forget that shows like 'backwards' were especially brilliant for their time in terms of effects. brilliant!

Robert, Your viewer figures had an even bigger impact on some sections of the community. At the time I was working at an ISP, and we could see the precise moment Red Dwarf started as our user figures dropped by about 90%. Thousands upon thousands of techies across the nation logged off at exactly the same time, sending paniced staff running around thinking there was a major telecommunications fault. Luckily, us engineers knew better ;)

thank you so much for indulging all of us rabid dwarfers out here with a 'pointless anecdote'

This was lovely. :) I've been watching Red Dwarf since the start, at which point I was ten years old, and unable to tell that you, Craig, Chris and Danny had different accents. My English has improved since then, but my love for Red Dwarf goes on. Thanks for sharing your memories with us!

I love Red Dwarf, it's probably how I found your channel on here and I'm glad I have done. It would be cool if you did another telly talk vid I enjoy seeing someone from the industry showing their opinions on where things are going etc.

Red Dwarf was the antithesis to Star Trek...... one was very serious and the other poked fun at the first. :-)

electrictroy2010 red dwarf was more scifi or scientifically accurate than star trek.

+stiepan holkien, I wouldn't call Red Dwarf Scientifically accurate, as I could point out contradiction after contradiction, but it did open your mind to ways that Star Trek couldn't, take the episode "Back To Reality" for example, yes Trek had virtual reality tech, but Red Dwarf basically made an early version of The Matrix with that episode (so it was years ahead of it's time, and did something Star Trek couldn't do with opening your mind), and the list goes on. As for Star Trek, it's too Politically Correct and Soap Opera like for me, the reason Star Trek was so popular when it was first released was because it was original, so they basically could of done anything with it and still got the views, but for anything to follow it, then it needed (and I hate to annoy Trek fans) but it needed to be better than Trek, and in my opinion Red Dwarf, along with Alien films, Terminator films, Total Recall etc, have out performed Star Trek by miles, and looking back at Trek now, it's basically a Politically Correct Soap Opera set in outa space, and when Human travel in outa space becomes the norm (500 years from now maybe) then Trek would just be viewed as a Soap Opera.

My fiancee bought the whole lot on DVD just yesterday, she's a big fan, it cost her about £60.

I LOVE Red Dwarf. It's one of my top shows ever. I just wish there was more of it, just like Trailer Park Boys, there's not enough. haha.

hi Red Dwarf was ace and I think you are ace also. It is so cool that you are on here and that you can tell us about the behind the scenes stuff, I have watched Red Dwarf since birth litterally I was born in 1988!Lol You rock and I hope there is a movie keep wishing. You keep acting and writting more great stuff! Anna

Red Dwarf IS awesome.

i love red dwarf. i'm so proud of my red dwarf DVD's and it sounds daft but i love watching the episodes with the commentary on as it funny as hell.

No worries Robert My names Ashley my dad and I LOVE! Red Dwarf we love all the characters and all the Episodes we often Quote them on Numerous Occasions to get a laugh it's good stuff we love it

thnx for tht... love red drawf...

Cute post. Thanks for ranting and raving at us.

What a series! Red Dwarf will and shall always be the best ! Glad the americans scrapped their silly attempt at it ! Love Krytie :D

It's now ten years on, from twenty years on.. I feel so old. :/

Long Live Red Dwarf! Hope for new season(s) and episodes, and a possible movie! "Boys from the Dwarf!"

LOVE IT!!! bring back red dwarf!!!

It's always interesting to hear the participants talk about these sorts of projects! My brother introduced me to Red Dwarf, and i have since exposed many of my friends here in college to it. love it, love the humor. maybe at some point some of the others would come talk with you for a youtube segment?

Red Dwarf is a really curious thing to watch, mainly because it has aged far better than a lot of the other comedy of the time. I just hope that Doug Naylor decides to do some specials before it's too late for everybody. If he leaves it too long it'll have to be Sons of Dwarf and that just wouldn't be the same.

can't smegging wait for the red dwarf specials that are coming out soon!

smeeeg heeead. Ah man would love to see a new red dwarf series.

i have seen every episode, but i was only 1 years old when it started.

Where have those 20 years gone? I remember the 1st ep originally being shown, I even remember a trailer for ep1. Funny thing was that only a few people at my school watched the first series. It was like some little cult we had to ourselves and it was such a long wait for that series to come out on video or repeated. Series 2 came around and everyone was watching, but we were there first! Thanks for making me feel old Robert!!! Happy Birthyear RD

What a pointless anecdote! Haha, you guys are all great. Red Dwarf is a classic

Seems to me Robert is the most enthusiastic about Red Dwarf even though he was a relative late-comer...

You went through alot,make up wise. Congrats,very well done,you may say its been too long for a movie,but I think it would really be a hit,mabey its just because I love it so much as do loads of fans. I ve had a little film experience as I helped out as a runner and a helper behind the scenes of the Turner brothers film"the divide" which was made in Ireland. The Turners are from London,and the film will be out 2010. Its their first feature film,which is a comedy horror. Keep it up.respect

happy memories, special show

Red Dwarf is one of my favorite shows of all time. If their was a movie, I bet it would be huge. I'm still wondering what happend to Rimmer after he knee'd death in the nuts.

Gordon Bennet, you'd expect someone to have sussed that one!

Series VII is one of my fav Series two favorits epi are Beyond a Joke & Blue

If i was rich and powerful, the first thing i would do would to be organise/fund a red dwarf film or series. This may explain why im not rich and powerful..... Even so, it was the greatest. show. ever.

I'm 11, a girl and addicted to Red Dwarf, somehow that doesn't add up.

+Julia Corston, You'd be about 13 now, but if you were 10 years older I'd ask you to be my girlfriend, you do realise how rare it is to meet a Female who likes Red Dwarf, lol.

i would love a film. i enjoyed all the series of red dwarf. i got my little lad into it too. he thinks kryton is cool. lol

Not pointless at all, Robert! I find that very interesting, being a Red Dwarf fan. I just love that show! I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. It's nice to see Chris Barrie, on the screen there at least. I'm as much of a fan of his as I am of you and I'm curious if you guys ever get to hang out once in while. Make a video maybe? That would be so cool!

If I won the lottery I'd FUND the film!!

I would imagine it's because it's stuck on to his head so securely with special make-up glue that ripping it straight off could potentially harm Robert's skin or at least irritate it severely.

I love Red Dwarf! though it is smegging hard to find merchandise in the states

Yeah I'm fifteen, was born about the 5th series? Anyway my dad showed it to me about 4 years ago...I've been hooked ever since! pretty much every weekend I'll watch a few episodes or even before bed during weekdays, perhaps the best British programme ever? I think so! Anyway is there a chance for a new series/one off special/movie? If anyone can tell me I'd be greatful thank you

I love the pointless anecdote. :)

I think Red Dwarf was partly successful because of the mixture of different story's with each episode and series.I think a movie would destroy the Red Dwarf name because I cannot imagine 2/3 hours of one story captivating the audience somehow. If ever it made a comback it should be as the series we all know and loved.

love red dwarf :)

I'm twenty years old too XD I was born in '88 Hope that doesn't make you feel too old bobby :P

I watched most of Red Dwarf. I missed the last season I think.

i wonder if they'd ever get together again for another season. its a dream for most RD fans.

They don't make 'em like that any more.... cliched, yes. but its true! Red Dwarf rocks!!!!!

Honestly, I think the fans of the original show would still tune in for a film...or a TV movie, or a DVD. It's just been so long since anybody DID anything with the show. I mean, there was a time where every other week had somebody talking about doing script read-throughs or somesuch, then...nothing. I just sort of lost track of it all. What about a TV special...do they still do the Children in Need specials? Doctor Who did it, why not Red Dwarf? Can we do it? ...and IF not, WHY not?

please excuse my typing i have a habit of typing too fast

The question is, is that although the film looks unlikely now, how about a ninth series? And also do you think the writing quality went downhill after Rob Grant walked from the show? God I miss the days of Red Dwarf on TV!

don't know if ya compressed more on this one than last one, but anyway, fyi, this one loaded up smartly on my computer.

Great.

LOOK OUT EARTH! THE SLIMES COMING HOME! well to Dave anyway...

Not being funny, but, if To The Manor Born can have a Christmas special last December which was about 70 million years after it went off our screens, then I'm sure RD can have a movie, even if it was tv only. Maybe it could be given away free with 'Coronation St The Movie - MiniCab Planet Terror' Craig would be quid in!

I miss that show so much -_- Plus my starbug model broke XD Would be great if the movie happened, petition anyone? =P

Any chance of a Red Dwarf Comic Relief get-together?

me too. It's a shitty turn of developments, but if the BBC can't be arsed to fund a film of one of it's best selling programs, there's something very wrong in that building.

Smeggin' hell it makes you feel old dunnit?

MOVIE :D Do it low budget.. so it looks the same as the first few seasons!

Haha, I love the exclamation at the end of "what a pointless anecdote!" - almost every time I chat with people at work I become aware, sooner or later, of having told a completely pointless anecdote :D This one was good though.
