One time on Bad Influence, it was stated that A4000's (like several dozen) were used for the special effects, they couldn't use models any more because they blew up the actual red dwarf model at the end of season 5 I think.
I hope they have cut the budget - for me the series went downhill at the same time they raised budget i.e. S7 . all the best written BBC series had terrible budgets (black adder and the walls that kept shaking lol).
Yeah it had some moments that were quite funny i'll give you that. Problem is, i absolutely adore the older seasons and 7+8 were just shadows of its former self to me. When i say 'it'll be pap' due to my gigantic bias you should read it as 'it'll still be better than most things on tele but nowhere near as good as it used to'.
Get Rimmer some just4men and they pretty much look the same. Think most of us know its not going to be as good as most of the older stuff, but are hoping its a least decent, we'll all still watch it regardless and its cool to see them back.
