Any Dwarfers Around?

I wondered if anyone on here will be tuning in for The Promised Land?

Yes, the idea of a new feature length episode has been keeping our spirits up through the lockdown :)

Same here - love your username! Grin The clips they've shown so far look promising and good to see Norman Lovett is in.

Yes we love Holly and his/her one liners. "Everybody's dead Dave" always makes me laugh

Undomesticgodde55 · 09/04/2020 20:24

When it on? DC told me about this was one of my favs growing up

GarkandGookin · 09/04/2020 20:27

Counting down until 9pm, I hope it's as good as the early ones.

Mammatino · 09/04/2020 20:30

I’m really looking forward to it too. Happy watching.

What channel is it on? Red dwarf was a bbc2 thing I think?

rslsys · 09/04/2020 20:39

It's on Dave. We're recording it, its 2 hours long and don't want to doze off and miss anything!

It's at 9pm, Undomestic - Dave Channel (natch!).

Big Holly fans here. I would love to see Hattie Hayridge again - it would be brilliant if Holly could change mid-episode or the two versions could meet once more through a time warp/alternative universe.

That would be amazing Pelleas, if we could throw in Ace Rimmer as well that would be awesome

And will be on at 10 on Dave Ja Vu if anyone misses the start and isn't recording.

Oh, yes, Ace Rimmer and for my perfect episode can I also request Duane Dibley? Grin

Oh yes! We are a family of Dwarfers and can not wait. Recording set as well so we can watch it again very soon😀

TheLovleyChebbyMcGee · 09/04/2020 20:50

Enjoyed that - several proper laugh-out-loud moments. I can't believe how young Chris Barrie looks still.

fairyfingers · 10/04/2020 13:36

We said that about Chris Barrie too.

It was ok - I smiled at a few bits and dh enjoyed (he's the proper dwarfer)

SorryDidISayThatOutLoud · 11/04/2020 01:37

Oh it was fab wasn’t it??!!

Canadianpancake · 11/04/2020 01:42

It was awful. Couldn't even finish watching it. The canned laughter and applause just highlighted the stilted 'acting', predictable dialogue. So disappointing.

Deathraystare · 11/04/2020 08:36

can I also request Duane Dibley?

Oh yes, that was fantastic! Those plastic beige sandals, stick out teeth and that haircut....

Mrhodgeymaheg · 12/04/2020 11:33

I can't believe I missed this! I'm a proper dwarfer (although I am in the group that preferred it up to season 6 and not so much after). I had no idea this was on. 😭

Is it on catch up?

I think you can get it on UKTV Play. Mrhodge.

Agree with you about up to season VI being the best. I enjoyed The Promised Land, though - plenty of laugh aloud moments.
