Can't watch it until sunday. But the review i saw said the fist episode is hopeless, but the next two an improvement me sorts.

At this point I'd agree.

First half seemed pointless to me, but i'm interested enough to give the second episode a go. Not impressed so far though.

When is the 2nd part? I'll give it a go, although the first part wasn't great.

But they've followed it with Gunmen of the Apocalypse - which is a decent episode.

It felt a bit...forced? Like they were trying to recapture the feeling of the early series'. I thought most of the gags were good, made me chuckle. Looking forward to the next bits!

Bit Crap was good. when's the next one on?

Thought that it was quite good.  The removal of the canned laughter on shows always ensures that you laugh when you actually find it funny, rather than being prompted.

I'd agree that it was trying to go back to the older series, as the last couple were a severe let down.

It is on tonight @ 9:00 and tomorrow and I believe that they are showing all 3 episodes back to back on Monday, if you missed any.

Not bad, but then I wasn't expecting it to be amazing anyway. any one know what the viewing figures were?

Twas a bit crap but hope the next one is a bit better.

I liked the removal of the laughter and I thought they did a fair job of capturing some of the depressing lonely atmosphere of being stuck in space by themselves for so long. It was lacking in much decent interaction between the characters though - I was hoping for some more between Lister and Rimmer.

I was expecting it to be completely woeful so it was actually better than I was expecting, certainly some potential for the next two. Have to see where it goes.

More looking forward to doctor who tonight, even though I'm going to miss it. Will have to watch it on iplayer the second we get back from the pub. Then watch it again to catch for clues of what's coming up over the christmas 3. Then watch it a couple more times over the next few days because I'm a geek. They'll stick in some random references to upcoming stuff, even if it's just a repeated phrase.
