This is one of my favourite episodes, Chris Barrie is absolutely hilarious in this

Oh dear, Megan has fallen down this rabbit hole. Nope. No way back. She will be hooked. Red Dwarf just gets better and better. By the time you get to Series 10 you will be a real dwarfer.

Boys from the Dwarf, now you've gotta keep going , only another 60-ish episodes to go

Hey guys! You may have noticed this video is a touch more edited than my regular videos. I’m just trying something new to try and get around copyright. :)

He wouldn't know "there is that much hair on his head", because he's a projection without substance, it's logical to assume as a projection there is no mass.

Dwarfers often seem to prefer these early episodes to the later ones. Possibly because the sci-fi aspects are there really to create comic situations for the characters, while later on they become a central part of the storytelling in their own right. But in this early form it stands comparisons with other, largely male, British sitcoms about two or more characters trapped in each other's company. One of the nearest may be 'Whatever happened to the Likely Lads?' (another vintage comedy two-hander from the writers of 'Porridge' - which this has 'future echoes' of too). This is a rather good one though, as Grant & Naylor immediately get to play in the toybox of cause and effect.

To answer why Rimmer is running: the Rimmer hologram has been programmed with Rimmer’s personality. Rimmer was an arsehole so the hologram version will be an arsehole.

Meeting Chris Barrie at a convention in March, he’s going to be signing my Two Ronnies artwork. He is a fabulous impressionist, and is now Ronnie Corbett in spirit, sounds just like him. Thank you for doing Red Dwarf 😊

The hologram simulation includes the fact that more he exercises he gets a more fit. Funny simulation.

Happy to see you are carrying on with this, it just gets better and better and even tackles a few science and physics phenomenon as the go along.

I cannot wait for you to get to season 2, its one of my favourite seasons snd i think the show really truly picks up from there!!

Phenomenal series which just gets better and better. Enjoy the ride

I remember when the BBC did a tribute evening a surprise was that Sir Patrick Stewart of X-Men and Star Trek fame us a Dwarfer, he was in a hotel and switched the TV on from what I can recall and came across an episode the series, initially he was irritated and wanted to contact his lawyer to start proceedings against the show thinking it was a rip-off of Star Trek TNG, however, he quickly realised that that this was a parody and was hilarious. 😂😂

In 1992 two pilots were made for Red Dwarf USA. They never got shown. If you see the clips, you'll know why :-) Lister is hardly slobby, more a Hollywood lead type, which doesn't work. Robert Llewellyn, who plays Kryten in the UK version from Series 3 onwards, appeared in it. In the 2nd pilot the cat is Terry Farrell from Star Trek Deep Space 9, with big hair.

Why does he choose to run? Because he's Arnold J Rimmer. You won't believe where the babies come from! 🤣🤣

I agree as a human you’d know if that much hair is on your head but as Rimmer is just a computer simulation he wouldn’t have any feeling or sense of touch so he wouldn’t be aware of it.

Great fun 😂 Thanks Megan.

Loved this show since it first aired, binged them a couple weeks ago. They were a little rough in the early days (that's not a complaint I watch classic Doctor Who too), but they feel smoother from series three so it's worth persevering for anyone who isn't sure yet 😁 From what I can tell the computer treats holograms as near to normal as possible, so if you sit around and eat a lot you'll get fatter. I'm assuming it's the same with sleep patterns and alcohol, etc. Although there does sometimes seem to be toggle for relative/realistic.

Red Dwarf is great fun for 6-7 series. There is so much comedy/stupidity involved, but there is also a huge amount of genuine science. The two writers used actual scientific theory ( ie what was predicted for the future ) to base shows around.

9:30 Well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other…

Megan you will love the answer to how when you recover the episode not going to tell you which episode or series as you skip forward and miss all the other grate episodes along the way

Hair like Helen Shapiro

A great show!

LOL at 1:52 😆

It's important for holograms to keep doing the things they did in life so they don't go nuts... I think? It's been a few decades, I'm no longer sure. But he's a hologram, he has no mass; so no, he wouldn't feel that much hair. He can only see it or touch it. That said, continuity isn't the show's biggest concern, and physics can take a back seat for the sake of a joke, so.

Great episode, my favourite part was Rimmer with the beehive hair!😄😄😄

The first series wasn't as good as later series but it's better than I remembered.

Rimmer's 'body' is a simulation of his actual body if he was still alive, therefore if he was junk food munching coach potato it would make him fat.

If you like red dwarf watch The Brittas Empire

Always a bit of a weird ending that one, in that Lister is kind of relived that.... his son dies? I think the writers admitted it doesn't quite add up, and the wig stuff was added just because there weren't many gags in it. Little fact: this was the fourth one made, but the BBC liked it, so brought it forward in the running order.

YOU WOULD LIKE THE. BRITTAS EMPIRE STARRING CHRIS BARRIE, ITS ABOUT A HEALTH CENTRE, WITH A ZANY MANAGER 😊

_Is there some sort of break in the space-time continuum?_ 😲You're on episode 2, you have no right to speak like that yet 😄

How would he feel his hair? Did you forget he is a hologram? Doh.

He doesn't have a physical body. How would he feel his hair?

Hi Megan. In answer to your question at the 0:52 second mark...Why choose to need to run AT ALL ! 😉😘

Where did the babies come from...? Well, Megan, you better sit down because this might take some time to explain

hi Megan - did you really just ask '"where do babies come from?" Have you been at the mariujana gin already? 😄

You look a lot like Kochanski.

you will like some mothers do have em its funny

✌️🤟🤘

Where do babies come from? How simple do you want this? ;)

3rd Rock is much better than RD.
