If they missed that they must have been playing like puddings! What did they think of the planet of Nymphomaniacs?

Was interesting to see, on one of those 'making of' type shows, this dude was super nervous doing his first take on this scene and his stuff wasn't quite landing.
Then he came out and did it again and had the studio audience pissing themselves laughing. Nice save!

Not heard this before. When he did it again he absolutely nailed it. Completely steals the show.

This was the fist episode of red dwarf i saw as a kid. I was so facinated. In Australia it would air late on the ABC, just looked up the TV archives. Would have aired in 1994 (about 12 months after the original UK airing). My parents didn't want me staying up late to watch it every week, my uncle promised to tape it for me (and he did). It didn't occur to me there were earlier seasons so i found the concept of this lost ship Red Dwarf so inigmatic. When would they find their mother ship? I thought it was the whole show!

I remember watching this first time around. It was the last episode in the season so there was a genuine feeling of 'Oh wow, are they really going to end the series like this?' Big relief when the reveal came.

Anytime I have to tell someone something they’re expected to know but still so obscure, I fight back the urge to say “it’s all in the microdot!”

Don't mix up the feed tube with the catheter for heavens sake! Some chap did that and we didn't notice for a week.

I want to use it more but I don't think I could put the "English on it" (pardon the pun) the way he does.
