Intriguing, to say the least.

G & T's Set report for #3.


I am intrigued as to the nature of this episode. What could Red Dwarf have done that hasn't already been offensive to someone?

Discuss.

And who knew 'he' was a Geordie

Is that offensive then?

Sorry, too cryptic. What I mean is, God is often referred to as "He". I think they may have met God, played by a Geordie.

God from Newcastle... Too damn funny. :-) *admits she went to look up a Geordie.
It's funny but how could it be offensive?

Lister is "God"... they said so in the BTL Book. So God is a Scouser.

Well, we all know the writers have never exactly been bothered about continuity. If they think it's funny, they'll go for it.

The portrayal of God as anything other than pure and divine will offend some. If he's presented as like Lister, for example, that would be more than enough to raise hackles. If he admitted that the Bible was a joke or something, you can hear the phones ringing already.

Of course I may be misinterpreting this. The fact that Andrew hasn't deleted it may point to that.

This is true. The fact that in one episode they said that the found the first page of the Bible and it said basically that it was a complete work of fiction and the standard disclaimers applied. If God was anything less then a Scotsman I would be pissed. :D
