I've just said this on someone else's post, but you cannot convince me that somebody was hired for s5 who didn't have a huge crush on Chris Barrie, because that season is basically Rimmer being put in ridiculous situations that require him to either be half dressed or ludicrously soft, and you're not telling me they weren't suddenly aware of the fanservice.
Not sure if anyone's made a post like this before but Red dwarf really is the show of all time
It's got a genderswap episode, its got a bodyswap episode, it's got multiple clone episodes, plenty of alternate universes and a simply iconic musical number despite the fact that its not a musical show by any means
theres a trans computer, two counts of mpreg, insane levels of homosexual behavior and a robot who goes through a midlife crisis
it's got the most repressed man in existence who also happens to be dead, literally the most optimistic last human alive (seriously, how is he so positive all the time) and a dude with frankly the best wardrobe ever who also happens to be literally a cat
Theres dodgy BBC budget practical effects (which I love), copious moments which are insane in and out of context, sets that are held together with blu tac and a cult following that could probably once destroy anything
It's got that season which not many people like to talk about (cough 8, cough), one of the creators left halfway through and they've all been doing It for over 35 years and are still going somehow
God I love it so much, it really is the show of all time
