Cavcraft Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Technically Red Dwarf shouldn't feature in any list of comedies as its not remotely funny. I agree about Dads Armt, an absolute classic, but I think One Foot In The Grave had 2 or 3 aeries and was always abaolutely brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Oh, Red Dwarf series 1-6 are extremely funny and well written in my extremely humble (and correct) opinion. Rob and Doug did a good job there.7 was OK but clearly the different writers affected it, and there's no nice steady flow. 8 was pretty dire. Too shiny, tried too hard.9 was unwatchable. It was like a car crash. I think there were only three episodes, thankfully - I've not seen them all, I can't. So series 10 for me pitches somewhere between 6 and 7 in terms of quality. The faults are that it's too polished again, and also too much happens that is never explained - in 1-6, everything they have on ship has a reason for being. In 10, they just invent stuff to help with the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobblers Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 9 was unwatchable. It was like a car crash. I think there were only three episodes, thankfully - I've not seen them all, I can't. In one of the episodes Lister is on a bus talking to a small sickly looking ginger boy and his sister, both aged about 5 or 6. The boy says something like "Oh, I recognize you, My dad is always watching you on that Daveâ„¢ channel". That was enough for me - I just turned the telly off and went to bed in a huff. It was like finding out that your favourite teacher from school had turned into a kiddy fiddling alcoholic speed camera operator who drives a vectra.I think that lad has been in telly adverts for something too, he's got the most punchable 6 year old face I've ever seen, you'll know who I mean. Ayyway, the first episode of series ten was actually pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised. The "a moose" sketch isn't really anything that amazing on paper, but it worked absolutely excellently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "a moose" sketch isn't really anything that amazing on paper, but it worked absolutely excellently. Last nights wasn't quite as good, but there was at least a nod to one of the first series when they were explaining away some stuff. I won't spoil it in case it's recorded It doesn't have to be the world's best comedy, but it does have to maintain a story. It used to be really good at doing that.

Junkman Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Shit or shite? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300743700695 How desperate do your original seats need to be before you stump up for these? But, but, but... They have the "LUXURY BLACK LEATHER LOOK", you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Come on, those things are just for taxis innit, in that application theyre a pretty good idea - presumably any piss, chuck etc which may be 'accidentally' applied to them can simply be jet washed off at the nearest BP garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
