S5E1: starts with Rimmer mocking the end of the sappy romance film, ends up making the same decision himself.
S5E2: starts with Lister similarly mocking the Trojan Horse gambit, ends up saving the day with a trojan horse.
Yeah, Series/Season 5 really cleverly written
I never even made the connection about the Trojan Horse!

Red Dwarf is not just great comedy, it's also great science fiction.
That's what makes it special.
This episode has one of my favourite lines in all of Red Dwarf. I love when Kryten and Lister are sitting there hiding from the Inquisitor, having been erased from history, and after the Inquisitor killed Cat and Rimmer. Kryten turns to Lister and say “All in all, today’s been a bit of a bummer, hasn’t it sir?”
I just love how understated it is.
+ "I need to go and Sacrifice myself so that we can get into this mess that we're in now in the first place."
Kryten has some of the best lines. Like my favourite line: “Are you absolutely sure, sir? It does mean changing the bulb.” Sums up life in Starbug to a tee.
The Inquisitor reminded me of Wowbagger the Infintely Prolonged from Douglas Adams' "Life, the Universe, and Everything". Wowbagger was afflicted with immortality, and it made him so bitter that he traveled back & forth through time to personally insult every sentient being in the universe -- in alphabetical order.
Arthur Dent?...Arthur *Phillip* Dent? 'yes?' 'you're a jerk, a complete asshole'
This is my favourite episode. There are "better" episodes, for sure, but this one always pops me. Lister's steadfast refusal to indulge the antagonist is really refreshing.
The novel makes it explicitly clear, the RD universe does not have any aliens. Humans are alone. BUT!!! Turns out you can actually do everything Trek does with androids, holograms, GELFs, time travelers, etc, etc. You hardly notice the difference.
Neat fact: they originally had Lister making an argument, but they realized his character is more of an anti-authority character and wouldn't just give in and play the Inquisitor's high and mighty game. So they changed the script to the short scene we see telling him to spin on it.
Always good when actors know/care about their character enough to speak up when something doesn't fit or could be changed to suit them better.
Which honeslty was the best choice, cause that line is absolute Lister. PLead for your life! Spin on it. -classic-
"Thomas Ullman, you have been found unworthy of ever having existed."
"Is that you mother?" LOL
The actor who played the alternate Lister was Jake Abraham, who was in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Sadly he passed away from cancer a few months ago 😢
Great actor, good Scouse lad. Glad they picked him for the role. Not many can do our accent properly.
I didn't know that.i love lock stock.i'm sure I saw Jake in other stuff.
That's sad.rip Jake.
As the Inquisitor said, Lister has brains he hasn't started using yet. This season is truly the pinnacle of Red Dwarf.
It's like they're exploring the fact that Lister - in an alternate universe - went through the engineering program and became "Spanners" to Ace Rimmer - he absolutely has amazing potential
*Fun fact:* Such was the impact of the Inquisitor as a powerful and scary entity, in 1998 a team built a fighting robot called "Inquisitor" for the new BBC game show "Robot Wars" (the British equivalent of the Battlebots show you guys have stateside).
The team piloting it were embarrassed beyond belief when they discovered the host of the show was Craig Charles...
"Where did you get the name Inquisitor from?"
"Red Dwarf."
"Never heard of it."😂
Also shout out to the skutter base shaped "Skutter's revenge" became Spawn of Skutter
@@AlmightyCRJ Was that actually made from an old scutter base? I always thought that machine was completely bespoke.
@@ZondaFRoadster It was custom built - not a skutter prop. Guessing by the shape of it.
A J P Taylor (25 March 1906 - 7 September 1990) was a hugely famous English historian. Who appeared on TV and radio from 1942.
Red Dwarf does have the odd dated reference from time to time. And to be fair, even for the 90s - this reference was very much dated! I think... I was about 4 when this came out lol
Whom it could said was known for having some 'hot takes'.
He's almost certainly the inspiration for the 'famous historian' killed by a knight in a ride-by slaying while doing some exposition in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail.'
They always deliberately never used what were contemporary references from the time. Because it was a very ploy to make it timelessly funny...all the movies they watch or reference are pre 1950s...
Jane Horrocks (Rimmer’s love interest in the last episode) based the voice on Joanna Lumley. Pretty much her next job was playing Bubble in the sitcom Absolutely Fabulous opposite Jennifer Saunders, Julia Sawalha and… Joanna Lumley.
MIND BLOWN - THAT WAS BUBBLE! OMG! Never ever ever ever would have picked that! She's an amazing actress based purely on that. Normally I pick actors a mile away.
I'm calling it now, Mr Flibble will be their new favourite character!
This is such a solid season, Holoship was great for exploring Rimmer's character in ways that weren't about how much Rimmer sucks and gives him a fleeting moment of genuine happiness, this episode is not only funny but it also gets into some deep philosophical ideas about how do you judge and measure the worth of a life, (plus there's a great dramatic irony in Lister and Kryten devising a Trojan Horse to defeat the Inquisitor after Lister decried the tactic at the start) whilst showing that Lister has a lot of untapped potential and is smarter than he acts most of the time, and there's an upcoming episode that is considered by many fans to be the greatest episode of all time!
The rest of the series is going to battle to become Paula's favorite over the 1st episode.
The concept of this episode is so damn good, it basically makes the viewer question their own lives too, after you see that your judge is yourself you should see that there is a moral, neither Lister or Kryten cared about themselves enough, it is a massive insight into Listers character because he actually did care about both Cat and Rimmer.
I always loved this concept. It applies to all the characters but Rimmer is the easiest example, in that we are our own worst enemy. Rimmer constantly sabotages himself at every chance he has, and fails at everything due to his own hubris. Even when he met Ace Rimmer, who only wanted to be his friend and tried to big him up like he did with everyone else, our Rimmer just couldn't accept it.
That's why I love this episode, because it's a problem everyone, in the show and in reality, has to deal with. We are our own worst enemies, we are the source for most of our problems and downfalls. And truly, if we were judging ourselves, we would probably find ourselves unworthy. Note how Rimmer's 'judge' self ignores everything he says, until Rimmer finally breaks and starts being brutally honest. And even then, he only gets off because, as said, his standards were low enough that he scraped by.
Wondering how the rest of the series goes, eh? I predict multiple “This is now my favorite episode” declarations.
That'll probably stop after Quarantine lets be honest... Though thinking about it, Back to reality is certainly up there
@@Skett Maybe. “Multiple” just means “more than one” after all.
@@Skett OOOH I love this season, everything up through 7 is great, after that we get a little hit or miss.
The events of this episode are often used to explain whenever they bring a character back played by a different actor. That simply means that the Inquisitor replaced them off screen!
Does that mean that the original Talkie Toaster at some point met the Inquisitor and was deemed unworthy? Because a bread-obsessed home appliance being judged by himself is something that I would've loved to see
@@christianwise637- You're talking about two appliances forever asking each other if they want any toast going on into infinity. I think I'd rather end the universe right then and there.
@@joehoy9242 So, you would toast the universe?
@@christianwise637 it also would explain why Kryten change from his first appearance to his second... The first was deemed unworthy. Now he was testing the second Kryten.
Clearly the Inquizitor is a waffle man.
Jane Horrocks was born in Rawtenstall, Lancashire, She trained at Oldham College, and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art with Imogen Stubbs and Ralph Fiennes, and began her career with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Wikipedia.
Really interesting look at the psyche of the characters. We see from Ace Rimmer's universe that Rimmer and Lister could both have been so much more, but this episode shows deep down Rimmer really doesn't believe it while Lister probably knows it's true.
Red Dwarf V is perhaps the nearest season to being pure sci-fi, and perhaps the only series to go down the Hancock's Half Hour route of being a comedy with no jokes and all the humour being derived from character and scenario.
I love this show. The Patrick Stewart comment about how Red Dwarf got to do things they wish they'd been able to do reminds me why I love The Orville, as it managed to kind of get away with some Red Dwarf level things that Star Trek couldn't do.
That wasn’t Kryten’s hand, it was the alternate Lister’s after the Inquisitor blew them up.
If all was reset, would the hand still be there at the end?
@@patrickc5188 The laws of the universe often bend to accommodate a good joke 😊
*This* was the first episode. Notice that Rimmer's outfit starts off green, but after Lister and Kryten are deleted from history, it's red? And it's *that* version of Rimmer (and the Cat) that come back when the Inquisitor destroys itself. They have to get used to a fresh version of Lister and Kryten, except they probably behave exactly the same as the original pair, so, is it really that different? Come to think of it, how many Listers and Krytens would the Inquisitor have had to go through before either of them proved worthy?
There was, of course, one teeny tiny flaw in the Inquisitor's plan. It should not judge anyone until they reach the *end* of their life, otherwise they may still have been able to contribute something to the universe, in the future that it is robbing them of. That said, it would have been an interesting setup for an upcoming episode in which the crew *are* about to die... but at this point, episodes were pretty much self-contained.
16:28 the moment Kat's light bee glitched (being a hologram and all)
Rimmer almost grew a backbone for a microsecond 😂✌❤🐦.
Watch a film called Little Voice. Jane Horricks does loads of voices in that. She's actually Northern (from Northern England).
It's interesting because the cat and Rimmer judged themselves worthy simply because they have such low standards.
Kryten judged himself unworthy because he has such high standards, and Lister outright refused to play the game of justifying himself.
Because Lister has issues with people in positions of authority.
It's why him and Rimmer clashed so much - Rimmer was Listers boss and a stickler for the rules - Lister doesn't like being told what to do.
Sorry if someone has already said this. But there is alternate footage where at the end, we see the Inquisitor's face, This was dropped because the producers felt it humanised him too much, and made him less intimidating.
This episode is a classic just because of Cat’s response for justifying his existence.
“I have given pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass!” 😂
Was he lying? Cause I don't think he was ;)
"Some might say I'm a pretty shallow guy, but a shallow guy with a great ass!"
Lister is proving he is not just a smeg, he can be one step ahead of his enemies
You might need a blue alert tier soon. 😄
As my rl name is David, I feel personally attacked by that intro 😂
The Cat's inquisition is hilarious.
"Some might say thats a pretty shallow argument..."
"Some might say I'm a pretty shallow guy... but a shallow guy with a great ass... " lol
4 weeks and counting until my favourite episode. I can't wait.
Yep, I think there are definitely a couple of episodes coming up that everyone's waiting for in particular, and that will be one of them.
The Inquisitor is such a Doctor Who style idea I love it
You should hear Jane Horrocks' real accent. It's quite a thing to behold.
They need to watch Ad Fab
Better yet, there's a good production of Cabaret on YT, with Alan Cumming as well, in which she plays the iconic role of Sally Bowles.
Little Voice , she was great Ab Fab - totally zany , well worth checking out of you haven't seen her .
Closest to her own accent was her role in 'Chicken Run' :- i don't want to be in a pie, I don't like gravy...!
Google - Five Minutes With: Jane Horrocks
S5 is where all the setup of Rimmer pays off. Barrie shines through the whole series. Even episodes like this one (The Inquizitor) where he isn't the central player, you still learn more about him than anyone else.
S5 is, hands down the best series of RD, and don't be surprised if Rimmer is your favorite character (assuming it wasn't before because he is so fundamentally unlikable) by the time it's over.
This is my 3rd favourite episode of series 5, the next episode is probably the weakest of the series but it still manages to have one of the best openings of any Red Dwarf episode, this really is peak Dwarf.
Kat possessed by the Inquisitor at 16:28!
Cat’s justification is hilarious.
So there's something that always niggled me about this episode; We all know we can't have Red Dwarf without the neurotic mess that is Rimmer. He is purposely made as such, along with his cowardice and upper-class bastardness, but his second chance is still the same unworthy life. Also, I lover the fact that the joke that he is panicking, only for Lister to be the one chosen to be erased, calling back to the Judgment episode, in which it was him panicking, but Rimmer getting caught and put on trial!
One of my most favourite episodes of Red Dwarf ever…
Red Dwarf's fifth series kicks things up a notch and here we get a truly interesting villain! The Inquisitor is such a cool concept and his overall design is so well done.
I have an Inquisitor bobble-head on the most prestigious shelf of my bookcase
If Douglas Adam's fiction is being copied (the guy who space-and-time-travels to insult each and every entity in all of creation, to their face), then this is a new take on an earlier concept.
Series 5 and 6 have some of the best episodes of Red Dwarf in my opinion. Enjoyed your reactions so far and looking forward to seeing what you think of what is coming up.
Lister and cat visiting the City I live in tonight (colchester), Craig is a guest DJ.
1:33 You mess with the Kat, you get the horns (sorry, couldn't resist)
Another really great episode for series 5. A surprisingly creepy one too (not for the first time, and definitely not the last), but also full of loads of funny moments. The Inquisitor immediately cutting off Rimmer's BS attempts to paint himself as a good person is amongst my favourite moments from the show.
hee hee! glad youre still enjoying it!
This is now my most anticipated video of the week! It's such a joy seeing you both fall in love with the show in a way millions of people did in the 90s. I'm fairly certain everybody over a certain age knows of it in the UK. If anything given the quality of the writing, the humour and the sci-fi concepts it's a shame it didn't kick off worldwide in the same way as Doctor Who did. Except really in pockets of NA and for some reason - Japan. It was beyond cult there for a while. Thank you for making my day once a week!
“The Orville” does the same thing. I think the Orville is the best non Star Trek version of Star Trek.
Love these reactions. It's the only channel I always put a thumbs up for, before I watch it. What a show Red Dwarf is. Incidentally the guy who played the alternative Lister passed away a few weeks back.
Im just a little sad that we don't get to see their reaction to Kryten's horrified "Oh, Sir, you've *got* it in your *jacket*!" ... One of my favourite lines and deliveries in the whole show...
Patreon is where it's at :)
"If mechanoids could barf I'd be onto my third bag by now."
@@beauxguss6321 - :D - but make that "fifth"...
At 16.28 the Inquisitor got the hold of Kat but Kat put a stop to that.
Think about what the cat said, his defence was basically that he is gorgeous, and thst was all rhat was needed. Rimmer was that even though he did nothing to enhance the world, who could expect more. Is this a rationalisation on how cone there are so many horrid people out there, as they only need a sliver of thinking they are okay to do a s heap of shitty things to others?
Makes you think.
Yeah, that was "other Lister's" hand... that's why Kryten freaked.
The Fiona Barrington story is one of the highlights of all of Red Dwarf, for me anyway 😂
This episode has always been one of my favourites.
"By their own low standards they acquitted themselves."
Says alot about certain types of people.
Also Lister didn't change - speaks to nature Vs nurture - he still had those same experiences that ultimately him who he is.
All the Inquisitors work doesn't take those experiences away, he doesn't change the parents or environment in which they grow up & learn - so how different are those new "sperms in law" really?
You could argue that all the Inquisitor is likely to achieve is a lowering of standards in how people judge what type of activities are worthwhile - those looking to make the world better for others are more likely to feel they could have done more.
While the self absorbed make excuses for their actions and believe their selfishness is an asset - looking after number one is judged as worthwhile because they never strive for anything else, and blame others for their own failures, for holding them back.
It's got some interesting idea's.
The GGs Get Ker-Powed and Zapped !
I really look forward to these reactions. Especially this season
You want to check out Rimmers crush from Ep 1 in Ab Fab. She's called Bubbles and is an epic air head.
One of my favourite episodes.
Re the actor from the previous episode, that's Jane Horrocks, highly acclaimed and brilliant... recommended viewing is the movie Little Voice...just watch it.
I’m rather astonished. I’ve never seen this episode before. But I have seen many that you haven’t gotten to yet. Perhaps my PBS station didn’t have it?
Treat for you today
Your worst judge will always be yourself, this concept is like meeting Saint Peter at the gates of heaven.
I was only 12 when this was broadcast, so it took me a while to get the "warm compost" line
That is textbook Enig.
Ive said it before and I'll say it again i love love love that you stumbled onto red dwarf, its awsome to see it again through both of you
I love so much that we literally just stumbled and fell into it 😂
Love it once again. So exciting watching the evolution with you.
Great as usual and we also got some ghost whistling for Kat on 12.48...spooky 😮😮😮
lol haha. There is a skit out there where some girl in a coffee shop is talking like that and the dude is like Just talk fucking normally! Shes like "wyatt!?"
Note that at the end of the episode, the gauntlet becomes a trojan horse....
FYI the actress who played Nirvanah Crane in "Holoship" is Jane Horrocks, a well known actress in the UK and a proud "northener" (from the north of England), as for her "transatlantic" accent, its so far from her real adorable one, that can be appreciated in this youtube vid linked, so her accent in holoship hid her real one really well, czcams.com/video/Ddkde6C5tO4/video.html
I remember this going out live on BBC2 such a good episode and the inquisitor is one of my favourite comedians from the 80s. Apart from the end being similar to justice it's a great episode
This is a great episode, the whole trojan horse idea at the beginning sets up the resolution well, and "I can give ya 15" all ways brings a smile to my face!
Inquisitor: Gallifrey Gals Justify yourselves?
Gallifrey Gals: We have given pleasure to the world because we make excellent videos.
IQ: Well, that's true!
GG: Can we go now?
IQ: That's your case?
GG: You need MORE?!
IQ: I must say, that's a pretty shallow.... Ah, who am I kidding? You gals are awesome, keep up the great work!
And Kat has a nice Alien 👽 earring
I believe there was an episode of Voyager where they used the backfiring gun trick :)
Series 5 is my favourite monster of week vibe n the highest rated episode ever.
Justifying your existence - the Inquisitor certainly is mad letting Rimmer go . Another great idea with a clever solution . Red Dwarf can always surprise with some great comedy thrown in . As always Its nice seeing what the gals make of it .
The boy who played the Youthed Dave was actually Craig Charles's nephew, iirc.
Interesting point with the comparisons to Trek as these last two episodes premises really feel like they would fit well in Trek. Glad you are enjoying the show as it evolves, have to say series 5&6 are my favourites.
There is a segment in the Season 5 documentary about Jane Horrocks where they talk about her accent.
It's funny that Rimmer makes excuses of how he couldn't amount to anything. Yet, in Dimension Jump, we see that he could have, he just needed to hit rock bottom. Rather than have his parents keep him afloat.
Rimmer believed it. That was all that was necessary.
1 & 2 was old school sit-com 3 & 4 Sci-Fi. Now we are into the horror series!
I always enjoyed this episode and almost everything about it. I loved the whole judgement sequence for each character and the time travel shenanigans. My favorite gag though was Kryten trying to lie while also trying to stop his leg from jiggling... the severed hand to open the door was a close second.
Great reactions gals keep it going love all 13 seasons with more planned ? But seasons 4 5 6 7 8 are my favourites u will love the rest of season 5 and beyond take care both of u stay safe ❤
Oh smeg... oh smeg indeed matey..😂😂
This is in my all-time favorite 10 episodes of Red Dwarf.
Series 5 is very heavy on the complexities of its sci fi ideas, so much so that in some cases the comedy is more lacking in certain areas, still great and very well written of course, but its where the show tips the balance somewhat. So much so that Rob and Doug had to direct a couple of episodes and reshoot scenes because new director Juliet May found the in depth sci fi ideas too much to wrap her head around.
This episode clearly shows humanoids are the worst judges of themself . I love all the episodes in series 5, there are some real fun ones coming. BTW I spotted 1 continuity screw-up - if everything the Inquisitor did was erased then how does Lister still have the spare hand at the end?
Another minor thing I noticed was with the scene at the beginning with 'Thomas Ullman' and the Inquisitor. Poor Thomas doesn't even get a chance to be judged by himself, he just gets zapped!
Thomas is an incidental character. For purposes of the story, you have to assume that his trial and judgement took place, we just didn't see it.
When Thomas says "Is that you mother?" it suggests that he doesn't know who the inquisitor is and is seeing him for the first time. I agree that it's just for comedic and storytelling effect, just something I noticed. @@beauxguss6321
It was other Lister's hand.
If I were the Inquisitor, I would find this reaction (and all of your reactions) "worthy". 😀
Some of the best episodes are in this series
Remember the alternate Lister, it brings up other questions later...
Our Rob or Rus.
Kat has a perfect Valley Girl. Wow lol 😅
Series 5 sees the show take a darker, harder edged turn. It’s very good, if not quite as strong for me as 3 and 4, but it was the start of a process that in my view eventually saw the show start to take itself too seriously.
Yes, i have always thought of this one as paying homage to Q and his savage child like race accusation. This has always been one of my favourite episodes although the next one is my 2nd favourite ever episode, you two will love it!
another great reaction from you both look forward to watching rd with you both :)
Been looking forward to this for weeks!! ❤❤❤❤😂😂
Interesting thing. The real reason Rimmer & Cat were spared was not because they had lead better lives but because Lister & Kryten actually spoke back and with more the latter challenged his views. Guy is an absolute bloody hypocrite but then, what do you expect from a guy who has been judge jury and executioner for aeons.
