Yea, I edited that, because I got to thinking: "Dave is one of the chars." Thanx for clarifying that for me. Glad I don't have to track "Dave Lister" down, tie him up just to watch the show. :p

I really love red dwarf and grew up on it, loved the books, however i hope they think about ending it as it really don't want to see red dwarf run into the ground.

I've always liked the idea of them coming full circle with the early episodes, it would be good to see them coming full circle on two particular episodes

Series 2 status leak where they go throught the status field and go forward in time, meet kochanski and the double double rimmer, lister with the orginal rimmer having a break down just at the end of the episode "goo awayyyyyyyyy" :D

And finally wrap the series up with future echos from series 1, with lister old on his bed with a mechanical arm, ive always felt that to be a great ending to the series and really does tie in the consistent theme of uroboros / full circle that has ran through the series.

also i want to see norman lovett as holly, he was by far the best/funniest!

I watched it last night and thought it was great! It's back to its roots where you don't take it too seriously. It's all a bit crazy and tongue in cheek, not 100% sticking to the laws of Physics etc. Really looking forward to the next episode. I find it amazing people are so critical of Red Dwarf sometimes. They are completely missing 'its angle'.

no holly at all :(

thats bad, holly was a big part of the books/first set of series

I am still personally hoping for a 'surprise' visit from Holly in a later episode ;)

Norman Lovett fell out with the writers and although apparently asked back for Back to Earth was left "hanging" so I doubt we will see him again. It is worth noting that this series is only one of the original writers and a new team as the writers also split which is why Red Dwarf got worse towards the end (Seasons 6 & 7)

However on a brighter note, yes it does get better :)

Great start to the series last night. Contained easily one of the funniest scenes in the show's history; the

lateral thinking

scene. :rofl:

BTW, maybe a mod should change the title to make it the official topic?

Very good IMO, like MJ said the lateral thinking scene was great. They really captured some of the feel of the older series before is got a bit iffy in season 8. I just hope they keep it up like this, if so its gonna be great!

The crew of Red Dwarf flew back onto our screens this week for their first full series since 1999 and attracted an impressive 1.5m (6.3%) viewers.

It was the second best rating for UKTV ever. Number 1 is Red Dwarf Back to Earth. :laugh:

Certainly still has the cult following it always has had.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
