why do american always feel like they have to take something which be already good and change it to suit them . the show have 8 series in england and easily have more if the actor want . so why do the american think they could do a good version of the show . think of your show . do i just mention the office . there could only be one lister ( craig charles ) . there can only be one rimmer ( chris barrie ) . the show be mean to be a low budget sci fi tv series show because it want to be not because it have to be . please watch the original show of red dwarf not the u pilot show . thank you and good night . don not forget that one day with any luck there will be a movie and with any luck it will be with the original cast and director . be it over . the smeg it be .
