WHERE is the FUCKING audience???
God damn it, if there was ever a comedy that was made for a studio audience it was Red Dwarf. Holy shit this is making me angry and I'm only two minutes in. Red Dwarf was one of the f**king reasons I got into comedy writing in the first place.
Excuse me, I need to chill and watch the rest.
Watched it. I'm genuinely gutted about the lack of a laugh track. It can't have been that expensive to do a studio screening and get some laughs down for f**k's sake. And if the reason for no laugh track is an artistic one, then the person who made that decision is very, VERY wrong indeed. And I'm putting that mildly, omitting the use of the words "twat" and "moron".
Apart from that particular aspect that ruins the entire thing, the rest of it was okay I thought. The jokes were still there, (albeit strangely-hollow when delivered to silence) and it was lovely to see the crew together once again.
But losing the audience laughter is an unforgiveable travesty. I'm sorry about my sweariness in this post but Red Dwarf is very close to my heart and this has gutted me. Seriously.
Idiots.
I'm not sure I can stand the pain of watching the whole thing now.
