Craig Charles was also great when he hosted Robot Wars, was a pity he didn’t reprise it when the reboot came.

Favorite character is definitely rimmer. Loved watching his transformation from first to last. A close second has to be cat. Danny John also did a voice over in the labyrinth. But that was ages ago. But so glad he got his big chance. Love that guy.

Craig Charles is a British institution. Fun fact. He was a heavy smoker until recently. And in the original run of Red Dwarf, as Lister, he was ACTUALLY SMOKING REAL CIGARETTES not fakes. Something that would never happen today

Barrie was probably the best actor on the show, and his talent and range really carried a lot of episodes (and he's even played a few other characters as well on various shows). I'd pick Robert Llewellyn as my second favorite. Craig Charles does a great job as Lister, but his role is a lot easier, imo. Danny John Jules is also good for his role too, but it's obviously the shallowest and simplest role of the four main characters.

Hey don't be forgetting Scrapheap Challenge

Don't forget Craigs time as the host of Robot Wars

From across the pond are used to watch PBS and catch red dwarfs, and a lot of other Brit sitcom’s. Red dwarf is still one of my favorites.

I remember an episode of Lexx The Dark Zone Stories where Hattie and Craig played these nefarious but rather out-to-lunch aliens. They encountered the creepy carrots which eventually destroyed them.

I met Danny, Chris, Hattie, and Norman at a convention back in 2017. They were all really lovely 😊 I remember the conversation with Norman about the dog's milk 😂

You forgot danny john jules was in maid marian and mac mcdonald had a smal part in Aliens

Clair Grogan is awesome. Always has been .

Chris Barrie narrating a show on car crashes seems oddly appropriate.

How can you not mention the fact that Mac McDonald was in Batman 89, the fifth element, and alien 2…the research gone into this video is amazingly lack lustre🥴

I've luv'd this program from the beginning. Started watching it on PBS in America in late 80's to early 90's.

Crazy how it’s been 35 years since the first season

But no mention of Mr Flibble

I remember watching the first "Tomb Raider" movie I was in shock i did not realise that Chris Barrie was Hillary the butler.

Danny John-Jules also voiced the Firey Guys in the epic Jim Henson / David Bowie collaboration, Labyrinth. Chilly Down!!

The BBC involved in o.g. Red Dwarf no longer exists. If they were to ever get their grubby, agenda driven mitts on 'Red Dwarf' once again they'd destroy the show, akin to the way they have destroyed Doctor Who.

From that first broadcast, slotted after " Monty Pythons Flying Circus" on PBS, I was hooked. Never saw a sci-fi comedy, nor heard of one since Douglas Adams' work. "Let the costuming replicating begin!" That had me wearing cargo pants, a eelskin cap turned deerstalker, and a dozen green/gray/brown shirts. Today, I'm blessed to have completed my take on Lister, including dreads sewn in the cap, and London Jets and Mugs Murphy t shirts. My jacket is one of the melton jackets from the 1990's. Yes, Lister is my favorite, but it's an ensemble cast dynamic. Besides, Lister has: a Cat, a Mechanoid, and a familiar Smeghead for company-ish.

whadya mean where are they now? red dwarf's an ongoing series. just had a special out earlier this year. isnt this the sort of question you ask of things that have not been seen for 20 years, rather than stuff that's still running? looking forward to season 14. :)

Mcdonald was in "The Fith Element" as the cop that said "Woah"

"Chris Barrie was absent for part of series 7 and missed 4"...Er...you sure? S4E1 - Camille - Rimmer (among others) meets a female version of himself S4E2 - DNA - Rimmer says one of his usual lines in this..."Aliens. They're probably going to return Glenn Miller!" S4E3 - Justice - As described on google, "The crew of the Red Dwarf find themselves on Justice World, an abandoned penal colony equipped with a `justice field' which inflicts the consequences of a crime on its perpetrator. The innocent have nothing to fear, but Rimmer is in big trouble." RIMMER is in big trouble, which is kinda impossible if he missed the series. S4E4 - White Hole - Rimmer takes a back seat in this one, but one of the funniest parts of the show with the repeating dialogue has him repeatedly saying "A *white* hole?" S4E5 - Dimension Jump - The quintessential Rimmer episode, where we get to meet Ace Rimmer from a different dimension (as well as the usual Rimmer) S4E6 - Meltdown - An episode that isn't very Rimmery, but where else in the whole show (with a waxwork version of Gandhi in this case) could you have Rimmer saying "Don't eyeball me, Gandhi!" In all, a poorly written clip missing tons of actors (Tony Hawks, for instance) and including a bunch (David Ross, C.P. Grogan) who only starred in very few episodes...You mention the voiceover artist for Talkie Toaster, but neglect the voiceover artist for the vending machines.

Chloe was in from S7, and Clare *was* in one episode of S6 (Psirens) though TBH I don't personally remember her in anything but the earlier episodes (though from what I researched, she did have a small part that I should remember...it's been years since I watched 🙂). Clare was nothing more than a guest star at this point though, although TBH until S7 she'd always been a bit part player rather than a main part of the show...and, as is always the case with female characters, she was deemed "too old" to play Kochanski when they decided to bring the character back as a main character...Most true fans of the show think that Clare should have continued the character, though it probably still wouldn't have salvaged the car crash that was S7!

I'ld like to see a show where the cast plays the cast of a Sci Fi show filming on a Caribean island to stand in for Fiji.

He, of course, winds up murdered which is investigated by the local police force including a recently returned Sgt. Dwayne.

Well done Craig Charles.
