  • Good…..but

    Excellent Red Dwarf talk. But hearing them cry because a certain author has a different opinion gets tedious!! Also how dare the 80s exist???

  • Borderline intolerable

    The show starts off fairly well with a chronological breakdown of episodes, albeit with a ‘modern’ disgust at ‘old fashioned’ humour. It soon descends into the most annoying, woke (mainly Mark) virtue signalling and non-stop left wing boring moaning.

  • A new spin on my old memories

    Been a fan of this show (Red Dwarf) for I don’t even know how long. But to listen to the host go over details I have missed or have different takes on the show is very entertaining. The tangents are also a lot of fun.

  • Smeeeg heeeeeeed

    I love Red Dwarf and was excited to listen to fans talking. Unfortunately the hosts get too caught up in themselves. Mark is so intolerant while constantly virtue signaling. And Curt, plays to the West Midlands stereotype of whinging about going to work. I am surprised not to have heard “How many hours did yow work this week?” “Yow weren’t up till 7? Half the days gone by then”.
