As we reach bread week on #GBBO, it is mandatory to pay homage to the greatest thing ever baked in the tent.

Paul, a contestant on The Great British Bake Off, presents his epic lion's head made out of bread. He named it 'King of the Jungle'.

I really would like Earth - but seeing Kochanski as an option makes me think that'd be more likely to happen.

The Promised Land, Mark and Matt talked dangling threads left for Red Dwarf.

Earth

Any others you can think of?

I am also looking forward to you hearing when Mark and I looted the U Streaming Service for extra Promised Land content.

They still haven't asked for them back.

Mark and Matt will be taking a loot at the deleted scenes in a special episode in a couple of week's time.

Living the dream!

Matt Latham @mattjlatham.bsky.social · Jun 27

I do like "I am home" bit as well though - but perhaps more of a subplot of The Cat finding 'his people' may have made this more effective.

Matt Latham @mattjlatham.bsky.social · Jun 26

I appear to have been taken over by Balatro. I even have it open when I'm editing podcasts now. I begin to understand the whole "second screen" thing now.

Matt Latham @mattjlatham.bsky.social · Jun 26

This is my biggest sticking point with Promised Land. Doing the minute by minute has made me really appreciate and love it more than I did when I watched it - but the Cat/Rodon thing makes no sense and it kinda smells of "crap we need to give the Cat *something* for once!"

Fascinating discussion about "other one" characters in this episode. Those characters meant to drive conflict - a role that Sheldon and Rimmer have in their respective shows.

Shipwrecked and Comatose: A Red Dwarf Podcast @reddwarfpod.bsky.social · Jun 4

On today's episode looking at minute 63 of the #RedDwarf film, The Promised Land, Matt, Mark and Kurt talked about how Rimmer is Red Dwarf's equivalent of Sheldon Cooper.

Do you think it's a fair comparison?
