Richard SampsonPANELIST
Well, actually, when it comes down to it, I think of some of the other roles that Chris Berry's played.
Richard SampsonPANELIST
I mean, you want to lock Arnold Rimmer into a freezer.
Phoebe StantonPANELIST
Yeah,
Richard SampsonPANELIST
he is here.
Richard SampsonPANELIST
He's Hillary is more of a likable character compared.
Richard SampsonPANELIST
Well, definitely like more likable than Arnold Rimmer.
Richard SampsonPANELIST
More likable than his Arnold Rimmer's alternate, Ace Rimmer.
Richard SampsonPANELIST
But he is more competent than Arnold Rimmer.
Neil GregoryHOST
I know of it.
Neil GregoryHOST
They did a mirror episode where the Weasley rubbish guy meets his doppelganger and he's like this ace star pilot.
Neil GregoryHOST
And so like Arnold Rimmer, third soup technician, third vending machine technician, is suddenly Ace Rimmer, like Starship Captain Fleet.
Neil GregoryHOST
And everyone's like, wow, what a guy when he walks past and swishes his hair.
Neil GregoryHOST
I've got such big, for people who are Red Bull fans, I got such big Ace Rimmer vibes from Ortega's in this scene.
Bobby BuzzHOST
Which BBC sci-fi comedy set three million years into deep space aboard a mining spacecraft follows the last human alive and his distinctly odd crewmates? Red Dwarf was what I was looking for there.
Bobby BuzzHOST
Dave Lister, Arnold Rimmer, Cats, Crichton.
Bobby BuzzHOST
An absolute brilliant, weird, funny, surprisingly heartfelt show that started all the way back in 1988 and still never gets old.
Bobby BuzzHOST
Question five.
NathanHOST
And having Chris Barry as the butler was, you know, brilliant.
NathanHOST
Don't fault that, you know, Arnold Rimmer himself.
NathanHOST
So, yeah, that would rate highly.
JoshHOST
Shall we say top of A for now? Yeah, top of A, definitely.
Nia YoungHOST
This bothered me.
Kevin Deyna-JonesHOST
You are reminding me of that wonderful sketch in Red Dwarf where they are going into a crisis and I can't remember if it's Rimmer or Lister and they say, change the, change the, go to red alert.
Kevin Deyna-JonesHOST
And you're like, do we have to? It means changing the bulb.
Kevin Deyna-JonesHOST
And he's like, put out a distress signal in all languages, including Welsh.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
It's mad, isn't it? And then he gets the job on Red Dwarf.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
Now, he's the role of Lister, Chris Barry as Rimmer, and the two lead roles.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
Incredibly originally intended for Alfred Molina and Alan Rickman, but they didn't take the roles.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
Okay.
DylanHOST
Two of them, The End and Future Echoes, were adaptations of episodes of the show.
DylanHOST
And then also spread over those issues were some original stories, Mutinous Pursuits, Ace Rimmer and The Geep, which we are going to look at today.
DylanHOST
So, Ryan, you said you're a Smegazine guy.
DylanHOST
You had them all.
13 MINS LATER
Ryan BlakeGUEST
You've done this on TV and now you're doing it again, but very slightly different.
Ryan BlakeGUEST
And you've got all these things you could do with Red Dwarf.
Ryan BlakeGUEST
And they do kind of get into their stride later on because they do have all the spinoffs, like the Ace Rimmer and all that jazz.
Ryan BlakeGUEST
But this was a really weird start.
AndrewPANELIST
Yeah.
OwenHOST
The, uh, the Arnold Rimmer.
OwenHOST
Absolutely.
OwenHOST
Yeah.
Mickey NoonanHOST
She just keeps that crazy stare.
Mickey NoonanHOST
I was, of course, reminded of Arnold Rimmer in the brilliant episode Quarantine of Red Dwarf.
Mickey NoonanHOST
Mr. Flipple says, game over, boys.
Mickey NoonanHOST
So I kind of wanted to watch that.
Adam BlankHOST
You know what? Double secret probation for confusing me, Manitoba.
Adam BlankHOST
And Arnold Judas Rimmer says, play Metal Gear Solid V. I've never been an uber fan of the franchise, but I enjoyed the majority of the game, so leaving it in its incomplete but technical sufficiently state is the best option.
Adam BlankHOST
Remake Far Cry 5.
Adam BlankHOST
It's too similar to Far Cry 3 and 4 and Primal and 6.
