# not true
I was talking to a young amaerican who owns lots of red dwarf videos. Maybe he was the exception to the rules, but I was really pleased to hear it! on the subject of sciffy, I seem to be watching T2 yet again!

# its actually quite popular in america.
they tried to release an american version of it, but it was absolutely fucking dire.....

British humour doesnt translate well onto American screens. The original is liked by quite a lot of yanks though, probably the same people that like python....

# I seem to hear that a lot
that is, I've heard about americans actually preferring the original versions of UK programs over the newer 'made for US' versions. Perhaps there is hope!

# like i say,
the american versions were shite. Can you imagine an american rimmer? it just wouldnt work. And Lister's only funny with a scouse accent.....

# red dwarf dammit!
only the finest television program ever made (with possible exception to monty python, the goons, fawlty towers and catchphrase, but only when it was Roy walker...)
