I liked the joke

"why didn't you take the bus?"

 

Good to have it back, though the clapping really should have gone from this and other sitcoms by now.

 

I don't think Red Dwarf would feel right without the audience. Hell, it didn't quite feel right without a live audience! It's all about the timing.

 

I enjoyed the episode, although I think it trailed off a bit towards the end. It started very strong indeed, and hopefully it's a good sign for the rest of the series.

There's nothing funny in some places where they laugh though, like when they came out of the clothes shop. What was the joke there exactly? The audience found it all very amusing but I must have missed where the actual joke was.

 

It was Red Dwarf but it's all SO familiar now, the scripts, the jokes, the plots, it all feels like it's been done before. Watching episode 1 felt like I was watching a repeat, except they'd somehow got digitally old and fat since it was first aired 20 years ago.

It's just all too wacky for me now I think.  There doesn't seem to be any of the sarcastic edge that the previous ones had, or the occasionally interesting sci-fi concepts they dealt with.

 

Hopefully episode two is better!

I enjoyed it. Some good gags (the kryten one in particular was top notch). It's just good to everyone back and have some good laughs on TV even if I did watch it on the internet (which is a really stupid idea by dave).

Which is the Kryten one?

Spoiler

The mars bar or the nipple nuts?

I didn't find either funny. Obviously humour is all subjective, but there were only a couple of parts that even raised a smile, let alone a laugh. As I said though, I'm happy to watch more of it purely for nostalgia reasons.

Both were good for me but the later was top notch for me.

Yeah, it's alright. I'm not finding it funny, but it's like a comfortable old dressing gown, so it's nice to watch. I could watch more of it.

 

Kryten's really porky.

Oh he looked a bit fat at one point because of the fake chest he had to have for the gag. Also he is old as well. Can't help that.

What do you mean "without a live audience"?

 

There is a live audience.

What PK said. Season 7's episodes were recorded without a live audience, after which audiences were shown completed episodes for their recordings. Everything feels a lot more subdued to me as a result, and the actors clearly weren't enjoying themselves as much either. 

 

Thinking about it, I don't think Back To Earth had an audience track at all. That's probably the least of its problems though.

I thought it was a really clever and funny episode. Honestly much better than I was expecting! 

 

Some friends saw the final episode of the next series being filmed. Said the experience wasn't as good as they were expecting due to where they sat and set. Changes etc but said they were still glad to have been there.
