MXC - Top 25 Most Painful Eliminations

Quboid says...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

Is this Takeshi's Castle? I've seen it on tele here a few times, I can't stomach it for long but I have to appreciate the awfulness. Again, the overdubbing and commentary (by Red Dwarf's Dave Lister!) is what makes it.

Red Dwarf - Waiting For God

Red Dwarf USA Pilot

PostMortem says...

Yup AWFUL. If it had ever been made it would have killed Red Dwarf for me.

I remember seeing an interview with Doug Naylor a while ago in which he talked about going to Hollywood to try to get backing for the Red Dwarf movie. It was horrible! The suggestions/demands from the studio were just jaw-droppingly stupid! The straw that broke the camel's back was when they asked Doug Naylor if he would replace Craig Charles (Lister) is Hugh Grant and Kochanski could be played by Emma Thompson. He got up and left at that point!

ETA:
I found the transcript of the Q&A with Doug Naylor where he talks about this:

Question No. 4 - Who's starring in the film if there is one?
The British cast, smeghead!
Five years ago a huge American film company, who are a household name, wanted to make the Red Dwarf movie and were prepared to put the money up so long as I agreed to an all-star American cast. For some insane reason I said, 'No.' I said we had to use the British cast. They said, 'How about a compromise? What about using British movie stars instead?' I laughed and said, 'Like who?' This is true. I swear this is true. They said, 'How about... Hugh Grant? He could be Lister. And what's Emma Thompson doing these days? She could be Kochanski.' I thanked them for their time and ran from the building.

What a load of Smeg!

Only if you were a member of the collective at the time you posted it, and only for vids posted after Feb 16 (when collectives were first created), if not, then no.

In reply to your comment:
Thank you Firefly! I likes it!
Is there any way to take a video that has already been published, and add it to a collective? I have a great Red Dwarf vid that belongs in Sci-Fi for sure....

Red Dwarf- The "Backwards" Universe (with Secret Message!)

Quboid says...

I love this stuff, the early Red Dwarf was great. I love those occasional shows were you can really tell the creators loved making it and go that extra mile for the few viewers who notice these things. All too rare, Spaced is the only other show that comes to mind, although Futurama tried.

Shame Red Dwarf jumped the shark when Rimmer left and was replaced by Konchalski or whatever her name was...

Red Dwarf- The "Backwards" Universe (with Secret Message!)

Anea says...

This is from the 1989 Red Dwarf episode "Backwards". The crew are in a parellel Earth, where time is flowing in reverse, as a result everyones speech is reversed except their own. The series makers knew people would try and get the sound to play properly, so they left them a message. ... (from YouTube)
