Red Dwarf was made, for me, by the interaction between the main characters. They all slotted together so perfectly. So which was your favourite character, and why?

Rimmer all the way, with his sarcasm and comments that he comes out with. Absolute quality.

I'd like Rimmer a lot more if they'd never made the Brittas Empire. As it is, Rimmer is only good for me as the paper that all the other characters wipe their butts on....

But only because there were limitless jokes and gags that could be done with and to him..

I'd go for Cat, probably on the basis of the episode where they meet the droid that appears to each character as the object of their greatest desires. Lister gets the scummy bird, Rimmer gets the uptight one, and Cat gets himself! That had me in stitches. And of course his Dwayne Dibly alter ego! Also, I think Normal Lovett as the male Holly was fantastic, he really gelled the episodes together. I think they should have cast him as the voice of Marvin in the Hitchikers film....

In my defence she was played by Clare Grogan and Chloe Annett ...

Chloe Anette was the fitter of the two easily, but Kochanski was such a crap character....

Does anyone remember the crappy sci fi drama that Chloe Annet was in called Crime Traveller? It was so awful it was fantastic but then the slider still had momentum to bring it back to awful.

I'd have to go for Cat, mainly because he just used to make me laugh so much.

Wahey, Cat pulls into the lead. We should form a Cat's Protection League....

Having said that, I do love the interactions between Rimmer and Ace Rimmer, they're hilarious....

If you saw yourself doing really well in an alternitive dimension would you be happy for him (lister) or jealous(rimmer) or not bothered or what.

For me i'd like to compete with me.

and yeh lister all the way.

No chance any alternate reality me would be able to compete with me - though they would be pretty great I admit...


Yeeeeeeeeeow! I'm looking hot! Am I still looking hot? Yep, I'm still hot....

My favourite characters are the little hand-puppet robots. They have so much character for the barely moving non-speaking minor roles they play.

Yeah, the scutters are pretty cool....

I have the first mother fucking video. Kryten. It starts with Kryten smoking a cigar watching Androids and then he sends a distress signal. Some lightyears later, Red Dwarf detect a fucking signal and then they go to the stranded vessel only to find, the three hot girls are skeletons.Kryton still thinks they are alive.


i think that the Scutters are the best. They have a subscription to the John Wayne fan club as seen in Better than Life episode.


Red Dwarf, such a good comedy.

Kryten didn't join the cast until the third series did he..??

Or did i dream that..?
Peace-Phoenix
11-10-2006, 02:55 PM
Nope, you didn't dream it. He had one appearance in Series 2, played by a different actor, and then came in full time in Series 3....

I thought so..! That "first video" comment threw me.

Kryten didn't join the cast until the third series did he..?? In the episode Kryten, they find Kryten due to him sending a distress signal. They decide to take him along back to Red dwarf, then in the final scene, Kryten paints picture of Rimmer on the toilet, rebels apparently and then says,"I need your bike". Then vanishes until another series. Possibly Series three.

"Kryten paints picture of Rimmer on the toilet"

Just saying that was enough to make me laugh.. :)
