The production design on Red Dwarf was some of the best in TV sci-fi. It's good to see it get some love.

possibly your most stirring rendition of "prime time"....... it was a blast.

@MaylottPaints 3 months ago

It actually stood for Fystem Of A Down, which was how the name often appeared in medieval texts.

It's always such a blast watching you get so passionate about Red Dwarf, and for good reason, what a show! Thanks for good laughs at the end of a long day.

Watching your videos is my duty. The duty of a complete and utter BLASTard!

This one was a blast from the past, it’s quite clear that Red Dwarf formed an important part of your formative years.

i dont have many memories of my grandfather, but there is one that is very vivid. i remember being out in his workshop. he was in the middle of repairing his favorite shoe. (it was the left foot) he turned to me and said, "two smooths dont make a grip." then he put his shoe back on and walked away. he even turned the lights out on me, as he left.

Watching this episode was an absolute BLAST and gives me ideas for weathering a Nerf BLASTer I picked up awhile back.

It makes you realise actually how much work went into the props for the show 😊

I'd say it was a blast watching this when I got home last night but I was so tired that I fell asleep part-way through. So I watched it again this morning. An excellent result, as always.
