I watched the whole lot thanks to lockdown. I used to like up until series six or so, but had a look at the later ones. Yes, the actors certainly all look more "lived in" nowadays.
The later series/seasons are very uneven, which surprised me. I stopped watching originally around when Chloe Annette's Kochanski was introduced but I was surprised that instead of a steady decline that the quality was very up and down.
- jeffwask 8mo agoI rewatch it a lot and the only season I skip is 9. There are a couple bad later episodes I'll skip but there are more than a few bangers in the later seasons.
- evanelias 8mo agoDitto here, season 9 ("Back to Earth") is the only one I have no desire to rewatch. Season 12 is particularly good though. In my opinion, the first and last episodes of that season are among the funniest they've ever done!
- misnome 8mo agoIIRC that was the one with the absurd "Photo Enhance" scene for which I think the episode more than justifies itself?
- KineticLensman 8mo agoYes. Kryten had definitely been at the pies
- chris222 8mo agoRobert has a whole set of youtube channels on electric vehicles and other renewable technology. It’s quite impressive what he does now but I always see Kryten in him, strange. https://youtu.be/TUi03zA4DAM?si=F55U2fbHjGcksHaK https://youtu.be/TUi03zA4DAM?si=F55U2fbHjGcksHaK
- stevekemp 8mo agoHe's done a lot of things, but for my money the "Scrapheap Challenge" show was his best. (This is a show where two teams are left inside a scrapheap and given a day, or so, to build a contraption/device.) He was just so enthusiastic about all the teams, and seemed genuinely interested in both the design, the building, and the performance of whatever it was they were being challenged to build.
- benj111 8mo agoDidn't it move to the US as Junkyard wars with Henry Rollins?
- stevekemp 8mo agoI just searched wikipedia and saw that it did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapheap_Challenge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapheap_Challenge But I can't say I've ever heard of that before, or seen any. I used to watch the UK series while having lazy breakfasts every Sunday morning with my then-partner. That was always a nice treat for us both.
