It very probably will suck unfortunately.

What the hell is wappin by the way?

Only 6 and a half hours to go people. 9pm cant come soon enough.

Thought it wasnt on till the weekend?

Better go check my planner hehe!

It on four times tonight thanks to Dave ja vu so plenty of chance to see it.

Well that was crap.

Aye, bit of a let down. Danny just didnt seem comfortable playing cat and the science lab bit just wasnt Red Dwarf at all. Also the fact that theyre doing it all green screen rather than on the cheapo sets kinda kills the greatness.

Coulda been better, coulda been worse. There were bits I liked more than the recent series, and bits that were worse, if such a thing were possible.

I dont think they ended it very well and they should have explained a bit better about the 2 hardlight holograms, though I am sure all will be revealed. Well, I am hopeful anyway.

I thought it wasnt bad at all tbh :whoops:

Bit cringey though when Rimmer was dancing not sure how that didnt get cut, other than that thought it was enjoyable enough.

I wouldnt bother to be honest, it just ruins good memories of a classic show.

Torrent up now.

Not great, the first 10 mins is literally rehashed jokes from early episodes. The last 10 mins a dodgy continuation from season 8. Danny-JJ doesnt seem to be able to do the accent anymore, but Rob-Ll is pure Kryten.

Better than I expected tbh.

From @bobbyllew on Twitter, there seems to be a general consenus amongst everyone involved that episodes 2&3 are much better.

I think it is hurt by being crammed into 22 minutes, doesnt give the story room to breath (which is exactly why Grant Naylor turned down offers from ITV in the 80s when they were first pitching).

If the story picks up I suspect the first episode will be fine in context and the whole thing will work better when watched all the way through without interruption.

After reading the comments on here I wasnt hopeful at all but having just watched it I think you guys are being way too critical. I think Goblins got it spot on - it felt a bit rushed and crammed into the shorter spot but I thought the content and performances were there. Of course things are different they were always going to be but I thought it still felt like Dwarf and the characters were back - I didnt find the jokes rehashed so much as just in the RD style which frankly Id be annoyed if they werent. Looking forward to 2&3 - might wait and watch them back to back I think that might be more enjoyable.

Heres hoping this spawns a new series.

Aye, I did think the intro and title sequence was true red dwarf.

How long were the old episodes? The ending of part 1 was almost as bad as some of the poorly timed ad breaks on Sky!
