Charles Augin also voiced a Klingon bridge officer in the PC game 'Klingon Academy'.

32:10 - That song playing is a cover of the main theme from the Gary Cooper western film 'High Noon', foreshadowing Holly's showdown with Queeg.

Brodie Vickers

Hahaha that was good. Thanks for sharing Sue!

William Green

Yeah I love the beginning of episode 6, though Queeg probably has to be my favorite episode because you don't expect Holly to be fucking with them especially with that touching moment at the end. Just add in Holly saying from the very beginning he is bored is a great use of foreshadowing. lol

Jon Hackett

Oh, I cant wait until Episode 6.....

Daniel Graham

I was thinking the same thing! When the girls read off "Queeg's" accomplishments, they rang so very similar Danny John-Jules, that I too wondered... did they propose the episode and Danny was like "I have the perfect voice and actor for the job!"

Dr Q Who

Love how this episode was more centered on Holly.

Peter Evans

Always loved this episode. Makes sense that the Queeg chap was a Firey in Labyrinth, as so was Danny John-Jules! They might have been mates. :)

Simon M

I disagree. I think they should watch the episode as it was broadcast and be as WTF as the rest of us were, try to work out what is going on, and read the text afterwards. To me that's a more genuine reaction to the as-broadcast content.

Travis Boyle

Great video. Funniest part was the Queeg /Holly reveal and you both said What? Then Lister, Rimmer, and Cat said What? right after. Another good show to maybe react to is Star Trek Lower Decks. Probably have to watch the six TOS movies to get some of the jokes in a couple episodes though.

Bill

Pets are family. The best family. Because they are CHOSEN family. One cat is a calico, another is a COWico. Heyoooo.

Ashley

The Red Dwarf audio books are also great as Chris Barrie reads and does impressions of the other actors in their dialogue. EDIT: for anyone interested I believe some are available for free on youtube. Chris Barrie was also the butler in the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies.

Daniel Graham

I don't know if anyone has answered this for you, but I believe the question was answered in the Kryten episode where Kryten discusses dreaming and has a dream of cultivating a moon and being a gardener... Presumably when he asks Lister to borrow his space bike, he is going to fulfill this dream until his return to the ship.

This was the only episode I managed to record in the original run in 1988 or it might have been the 1989 repeat showing. Either way this episode was watched over and over until series 3 finally showed up 34 years ago.

Lemmy's Mole

oh mate, that's hilarious.

Mark Ten

Sorry for your loss Kat, I know how tough that can be. Love you both. Mark

I remember watching this episode when it was first aired on TV..... This was back in the day when we had to feed coins into our electricity meter, and once the credit runs out, the electricity turns off.... So, I'm watching the show, and then, I see Holly get deleted, Queen comes on the screen and says "I've got one thing to say to you".... and the electricity cut out! No one I knew watched the show..... it was 6 years later, I was in the military, when I bought the VHS box set, that I found out what happened in the end..... SIX SMEGGING YEARS I had to wait, just to find out it was a smegging April fools joke.

Paflad

Chris Barrie had, and has, some of the most exquisite comic timing and physical comedy instincts you'll ever see. It's criminal that he never become a much much bigger star.

Glenn Dudley

Perhaps you might also consider reacting to Blake's 7, Space 1999 or UFO or indeed any show made by Gerry Anderson

Glenn Dudley

Excellent reaction - can't wait to see your reaction to my favourite episode of all the Red Dwarf series which is episode 3 of Series 3!

Steve Oxley

Loving it loving it loving it!

Aidan Lunn

Chris Barrie is a professional impressionist as well as a comedy actor. I suggest you look up his Ronald Reagan impressions from the 80s. He was a voice artist on a *VERY* popular show over here called Spitting Image, which satirised news events of the week just gone by using latex puppets of celebrities and politicians with exaggerated features.

Aidan Lunn

Here’s your reminder to a) read the scrolling text at the start of S3 E1 before watching and b) after watching the episode to watch the clips of the reversed bits played forwards as it contains an absolutely champion joke that can only be watched that way!

Bruce Bromley

Always love seeing the felines. You saw that Charles Augins worked on Labyrinth. Remember who also worked as a choreographer on that film, the lovely Gates McFadden. On Kryten, he does return, but it does cause a ripple or two in the show I'll be wondering how you feel about them.

Jake Constantine

Craig Charles actually did the explosion stunt himself.

Paul Baldwin

Chris barrie was an impressionist before he started on RD he was on a poltical satire show called spitting image. Thats why he is so good at them

Sue the Scottish Geek

There is such a good outtake from this episode where Chris Barrie does a ton of different impressions, it's well worth a watch - https://youtu.be/UtjwDWKZrWo?feature=shared&t=752

Scribbles

Yeah, Chris Barrie is an impressionist. He was an impressionist for the sketch show Spitting Image. As it's a UK thing, you might not know about it, but if you've ever seen the music video for the Genesis song "Land of Confusion", they used the puppet design of Spitting Image for it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq7FKO5DlV0) Chris Barrie did the voices for puppets like Prince Charles, George HW Bush, Gordon Brown, John Cleese, etc.

Raven Stromdans

Discovering this episode is *so* much better when you watch it with people who don't know the plot and you do. It was so much fun watching Kat and Paula trying to work out just what was happening, as well as marveling at Chris Barrie's impression skills. Looking forward to wrapping up the season with you on this sojourn through space on the Red Dwarf!

Jasper de Vries

Also, when Lister connects the wrong cables and gets thrown over the console - that is mister Charles doing his own stunts. After watching the making of Series 1 (which you did after watching this episode) you'd have expected it to be shoestring like that.

Kat, I know what you mean about childhood being rough. I lost my father when I was seven, owing to having a sudden heart attack. Despite kids at school knowing this, the sods would bully and some of it got worse. My mother and I scraped by as best we could with her little shop business and a post office, but our living was being drained off by supermarkets and banks. I used to take some refuge in the programmes of the time, like Vision On, Scooby Doo, Morecambe and Wise and Doctor Who and Jon Pertwee's Doctor practically became a father figure for me. He was my mother's favourite as well. Some of the scripts at that time resonated with me and forged my shields against the bullies. The philosophy at the time, with Barry Letts at the helm and his script editor Terrance Dicks who wrote many of the novelizations of the period were my solace. And I certainly empathize with you regarding exams and anxiety and I never learnt to drive!

Rime Pendragon

"The Cain Mutiny" was a novel first, mind you.

Brodie Vickers

Kryten will be here.. when you least expect it😁Sorry to hear about your Puss Cat Katrina. Charles was the dance teacher for Danny John-Jules and future Who companion Bonnie Langford, also the choreographer for the Tounge-Tied dance next ep. Danny was part of the Firey's in Labyrinth too. This episode is where Norman Lovett truly shines!

Pocket Trumpeter

Great reaction and so fun to relive the episode with new people. My only regret....I was meant to see Norman Lovett (Holly) doing standup last night but I was too tired to go out. Good to see him in fine form here though!

Kieran B

Love this episode, none of the cast were ‘proper’ actors before this: Chris Barrie (Rimmer) was an impressionist, Craig Charles (Lister) was a performance poet, Norman Lovett (Holly) was a stand up and Danny John-Jules (Cat) was a dancer - which is how he knew Charles Augins. He also choreographed the Tongue Tied dance that you will have now seen in tomorrow’s episode

Henchman Twenty1

The name "Queeg" is from a character Capt. Queeg, as played by Humphry Bogart, in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954). It takes place during WWII. Excellent movie. He's the guy that the actor who played Commodore Decker in the Star Trek (TOS) episode "The Doomsday Machine" based his performance on when he was shuffling those diskettes in his hand while sitting in Kirk's chair.

Alexander Caldwell

Please don't take this the wrong way, and I'll keep my support going in the meantime, but I REALLY hope the actors guild strike ends soon; I'm seriously itching to see the Gals finish reacting to TNG and get to the films. Not to knock Red Dwarf or weird British/Australian commercials, but golly gee boy...got SCMCWS (Specific Consumable Media Content Withdrawal Syndrome) something fierce!
