Yes, and I believe I can say that it contained nothing but pure awesomeness. It was actually better than some of the episodes of the three new series, which is quite... sad, I suppose.

With his performance here and in 'Scream of the Shalka', Richard E Grant is *my* Ninth Doctor - never mind this Christopher Eccleston (even though he was a good actor and played it well).

Rowan Atkinson as the Ninth Doctor and Jonathan Pryce as the Master? Pure brilliance.

Yeah - I never understood that. Mind you, I'm the type who enjoyed 'Dimensions in Time' for its blatant crappiness, so something might be wrong with me. smiley - biggrin

At that point, I was half-expecting their manipulator arms to start moving up and down in a salute...

Sorry I don't get that. Do you mean the car?

Yes. It's my lame attempt at replicating one of the dozens of similes from Red Dwarf. smiley - geek

BMW has many classic (car) lines, and The Curse of Fatal Death had many classic lines.

Hence the bodge simile. smiley - winkeye

I've only seen the 1 episode of red dwarf. What I've seen is good though... it was called "The End" which I assumed was the first one

Yep. It says a lot for RD that they called their very first episode 'The End'.


Kryten was always my favourite character.

Do you get UKTVG2 on Freeview? If you do, I think it's on there every night this week.

If not, your best bet is the DVDs. Compared to other series, they're axtually pretty cheap.

I don't I'm afraid. How much is a series gonna set me back?

Aximili

Not much. Depending on where you go, it's usually about fifteen quid a series, but I have seen them for eight (That's new, BTW but don't bank on finding them that cheap. The place that sold them's gone out of business nowsmiley - sadface)

Soory, I phrased that badly.

THE PLACE THAT I SAW THEM FOR EIGHT has gone out of business now, so you
should probably expect to pay about ten to fifteen depending on where you go.
