Gary, I think that's "The Great Race." The movie stars Tony Curtis, Jack Lemon,
Natalie Wood, and Peter Falk.

The pie scene is excellent!

Why do you need a videotape of this incident, Dave?  Don't you remember
what happened?  Well, maybe not -- you did get pretty intoxicated toward
the end, didn't you.  But I'm sure Holly recorded it all in the Black

No, no, no -- that was simply a mixture of his memories with Lister's.

Try thinking that it was only an attempted suicide.

A roll of toilet paper, obviously.  If you want to hear the most references
to the toilet in a single scene, pay attention to the opening scene of
RD5-4 "Quarantine."  (By the way, people in the UK: How do you spell that
which sounds like `karzee'?  I hear the word in several programmes, but never
have sussed out precisely where it comes from.)

His light bee, as seen in RD4-6 "Meltdown" and RD5-5 "Demons & Angels."
Power may or may not come from the bee itself.  Starbug can support a
hologramme (right spelling?) independently of Red Dwarf (or "The Crimson
Short One" as Rimmer would say) for a short while.  Thus, in "Quarantine,"
the others tell Rimmer to take an escape pod from Starbug to Red Dwarf, so
that they can take Dr Hildegaard Landstrom (a hologramme) away from a planet,
on Starbug.

It's a... small, off-duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden!

Not according to the Age Green Guide. The next one is Polymorph, which
is Series 3, episode 3. Hmm.. 1,5,3.. that's how the ABC count.

Hello.  Does anyone out there know if Red Dwarf can be seen in the Minneapolis,
Minnesota area?  I became addicted to the show during a trip to England and
haven't seen it since.  I would also (here's a new one on) love to get it
on tape.  Is it possible to convert between British and American format
without too much trouble and expense?  I can probably obtain series 2 & 3
if that is possible.  Thanks for any help.

Well, I may have heard it wrong myself.  But judging from the fact that
it *does* hover in the air in much the same way as a bumblebee (or that
a brick doesn't), that's the way my brain processed the words.  I'll
just have to watch the episode again, I guess...  :)

Someone just mentioned the fact the YTV also censors Red Dwarf.  I've noticed
this too and I want to see what terrible things are said on Red Dwarf :)

In the episode (I don't know what number or the title) where Kryten is
developing pictures and they come to life, the episode with Koo Stark and
the Tension Sheet.  Anyway  on YTV when Lister visits Hitler through one of
the photographs and steals Hitler's bag, while Lister is on the podium beside
Hitler, Lister said something which YTV bleeped out.  What was it?  Anyone
remember or know?

This is the state of Canadian Television :)

I agree with the earlier interpretation, a `bog roll' is a North West England
colloquial expression used to mean a roll of toilet paper!

I should know, I used it (the expression) as a child (and occasionally still
do) when I went to school in the Wigan (Lancs) area.

	Ensure your "bog roll" is served straight from the freezer
for maximum enjoyment with a vindaloo. Most Indian restaurants are
quite happy to oblige.

Don't worry -- I don't think they meant that they'll never show it again.
The last episode they aired is the last one available to television stations
in the U.S., so it makes sense that they stopped.  The latest series won't
be available to U.S. television until January.

(Or maybe October, if we're lucky?  Series 4 wasn't available until January
 1992, so I'm assuming that series 5 won't be available until January 1993.)

That's just the one scene -- I can't imagine that they'd censor the entire
episode for it.  Well, no, on second thought, a later reference is made:
"I've been a complete and total polaroid-head."  But, then again, censors
usually aren't so smart.  Wouldn't they just let that line remain without
anyone knowing the reference, which was deleted?

Oh, yeah, there's another reference later, too: "If he offers to show you
his photo collection, my advice is to refuse politely."  So I guess it does
make sense that YTV didn't show it.


RD3-3 "Polymorph" has many sexual scenes.  Kryten using his groinal socket
to attach a vacuum cleaner; Lister using various items for his meal (or
`autopsy', as Cat called it), including a syringe used to artificially
inseminate cows; Kryten on top of Lister as the creature became a pair of
shorts that Lister put on, whereupon the creature began to shrink, so Lister
is on his back, with Kryten on top, and Lister is screaming as Rimmer comes
in, saying, "Well, I can't say I'm surprised -- you'll bonk anything, won't
you, Lister?"; Lister having sex with Rimmer's mum, and her explanation to
Rimmer about how good Lister was ...

and maybe one or two I've forgotten.  The censors couldn't just delete
those scenes and leave the rest intact, since it wouldn't make sense without
them (particularly with the last one, since it's the one that makes Rimmer
mad so that the polymorph can eat his anger), so that episode was not shown
on YTV at all.
