136.0. "RED DWARF ON CHANNEL 11 !!" by USDEV1::NDC (Putiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313) Tue Jan 14 1992 10:57

    In the old FELINE notesfile I wrote about a science fiction
    program that had a character that had evolved from the ship's
    cat.   It's called RED DWARF.
    
    Well, Channel 11 (New Hampshire Public Radio) has started
    showing it at 10:30 on Sunday nights!  The very first episode
    aired last Sunday (1/11).  
    
    If you like Science Fiction, British Humor and cats you'll 
    love RED DWARF!

    Correction - Make that New Hampshire Public Television, not
    Radio!!
    
136.2a truly awful combination--a cat/manDELNI::GASKELLWed Jan 15 1992 14:245
    The character of CAT get's even 0better--the actor (John Jules I think) does
    a really good job at being a cat.
    
    "These are My shiny things.  You can't have my shiny things."
    (See the next program for the rest.)
136.3OXNARD::KOLLINGKaren/Sweetie/Holly/Little Bit Ca.Wed Jan 15 1992 20:394
    This is on channel 54 in San Jose on Sunday nights as well.  How
    long does it take for the cat character to show up?  I "bored
    out" on the first episode.
    
136.4Ever been to Nodnol? ;^)SELL3::FAHELAmalthea Celebras/Silver UnicornThu Jan 16 1992 08:448
    Cat showed up in the first episode.  Since this show only has 3
    "regulars", he is in just about every one.
    
    My favorite scene is in the episode when they land on a planet where
    everything is backwards, and Cat has to "go in the bushes"...the look
    on his face!!!!!

136.5COASTL::NDCPutiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313Mon Jan 20 1992 12:017
    I like the episode where they find the alternate universe and cat
    enters the other ship and starts squirting little aerosol spraycans
    saying "This is mine, this is mine, this is mine"...
    
    Considering the problems I'd been having with Dundee, I almost fell off
    the couch when I saw that.
    
136.6Anyone taping?WMOIS::GERDE_JMon Jan 20 1992 13:234
    Is there any chance someone is taping these episodes?  I had a
    rehearsal last night and completely forgot about setting the vcr.

    The book RED DWARF goes into the cats character much more than they can
    show on t.v.   One of the things he does is to tease his food (usually
    a cooked fish) by singing a song something along the lines of "you're
    my little fishy an' I'm gonna eat you". He then puts his fork under the
    fish and bangs the handle making the fish catapult up into the air, CAT
    then does a back-flip somersault over the back of his chair catching
    the fish before it hits the deck and then eats it.  
    
    Read the book, it's a riot.

136.8is he like anyone you know?DELNI::GASKELLMon Feb 03 1992 10:225
    Who publishes the book and what's the name of the writer?  I didn't
    know it was a book as well.  From the last program the songs goes,
    "I'm going to eat you little fishey, I'm going to eat you little
    fishey." with a look of anticipation and glee on his face--lovely, just
    like my bunch of rotters.
136.9And there's more.....UKCSSE::LMCDONALDFri Feb 28 1992 06:5210
    The fifth series of "Red Dwarf" began here in the UK last week.  It
    looks pretty good so far. 
    
    One of my favourites among the regulars (they are all good) is Crighton. 
    You folks in the US may not know him yet. He is an android that was 
    rescued from another space ship. Lister teachs him to lie and do other
    'human' things he is not programmed for.

136.10CIVIC::FAHELAmalthea Celebras/Silver UnicornFri Feb 28 1992 08:378
    Oh, yes...we've met Crighton.  He's the wimpy android.
    
    In the episode where they all turn opposite of themselves, he was like
    "KILL KILL KILL!"  What a riot.
    
    I, tho, am partial to Cat.  :^)
