Red Dwarf: Holoship - Binks

[PureZOOKS]

According to the out takes after this scene he spat it out and said

"I don't know why I hate that fucking fag."

[LadyStardustVertigo]

Physical age 47 - oh my god. The best line from a minor character ever.

[SpaceCorpsDirectives]

Classic! Lister taking no smeg!

[panzerducky]

he should have used the rip on rimma

[vidman1976]

It was funny when Lister was making the sarcastic remarks to the holographic guy that came aboard their ship. LOL! :)

[Jermyn78]

How on Earth Craig Charles can go from this to Corrie? It's just not fair...

[TyriaelSoban]

that is so funny, i mean seriously, it never gets old!

[eddiearzanian]

This is one of the most hilarious scenes in red dwarf ever. it's a bit racist, though - what the heck... watch lister's face when he's confronted with the "chronological truth". btw eating a cigarette requires total devotion to the moment -after all, it' s critical to say the least.

[MARK1HOE]

@eddiearzanian how is this racist?

[eddiearzanian]

Just a bit. Binks' complexion and the Indian accent. Him being that incredibly arrogant intruder. No big deal, hence "what the heck"...

[betabenja]

@eddiearzanian he has an english accent more proper than most english people.

[eddiearzanian]

@betabenja I have just learned that Don Warrington is actually of Caribbean descent. Not that his accent (which btw reminds me of my once favorite reggae singer Eddy Grant) matters, but as a linguist I can say that it is clearly audible (along with the accent you mentioned) and adds to the odd situation.

Speaking of accents: I've been wondering why Cat speaks American (Danny John-Jules does, in fact) despite he was born and brought up in London. Any ideas? (still the linguist asking).

@eddiearzanian

Hi!

To answer your question, Felis Sapiens evolved inside Red Dwarf, and learned english from the various video recordings of humans. Perhaps there was a higher volume of american video recordings inside red dwarf and they just picked up the accent from there.

@eddiearzanian "it's a bit racist"

No it is not, I'm afraid you're just a bit retarded.

[Hyperactiveandmad]

Brains in the anal region.

[KhuntMaster]

lister to red dwarf - we have in our midst a complete smeg-pot. classic

[LittleMissTeatime]

Growing up watching Red Dwarf with a shameful and inexplicable crush on Listen when I was 5 I've become the only person I know who loves the Liverpool accent.

Rumble. Perfect scouse.

[Ponuppy]

@LittleMissTeatime don't worry your not the only one

[stebsie]

@LittleMissTeatime your not the only one love. Have a HUGE crush on lister and bloody liverpudlian accent so cute.

[Killzillastudios]

"Lister to red dwarf! displays evidence of spoiling for a rumble!" epic!

[Termereion]

seems unable to grasp simple threats

[ShroudedFury]

Philip from Rising Damp

[mkeysou812]

LOVE this scene! been going around my head all day, great to see someone uploaded it here

[Kissori]

I adore the way he says 'Rumble'.

But yes, one of the greatest moments.

[SegaMegadriveMic]

lol lister just ate a fag!

[darkmessenger84]

Craig Charles was supposed to have been actually sick right after eating the cigarette

[opanoid]

In some of the outake DVD's you see him right after eating the cigarette.

He wasn't ill, but he (craig charles) does look at the crew and says he wonders why he ate the cigarette (it was not scripted).

[slash0unette]

best scene of red dwarf!

[SparkyGerbil]
