A Jungle of Discovery
We've mentioned this a few times before, but Back In The Red have beaten us to it with the details. BASTARD. So, just remember: Chris Barrie's Massive Engines, a 10-part series starting 5th April at 8:30pm on Discovery. See, I could be a trailer announcer if I wanted.
Incidentally, what could be seen as a companion piece to Massive Engines is also on the 5th on Discovery at 20:00; Mark Williams On The Rails. "Mark Williams On The Rails continues with more episodes celebrating two hundred years of trains. The series allows Mark to indulge his passion as a train enthusiast and get close to some huge locomotives." The episode on before Massive Engines is described thusly:
"...Mark rides the American railroad to explore how the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad between 1862 and 1869 linked the East and West Coasts. He goes on to investigate how the introduction of railways impacted on society, how death on the tracks was tragically common and how curious engines used to transport slate down the railways through the Rocky Mountains.
Excellent. Also, note how skilfully I've avoided the fact that the series has already started, and G&T missed reporting on it. See a complete list of upcoming episodes here. G&T is rapidly losing journalistic integrity, clearly.
Meanwhile, guess which process of Googling lead to me discovering the following: The Ultimate Red Dwarf Quest towards Self-Discovery. I shall post my result below (IT MADE ME WANT TO CRY); I've just this minute enabled HTML in comments, so you can all post yours too. Hooray!
Comments
Dog - You are The Dog. You are flea-ridden, and
are blissfully unaware of anything, including
your own blissful ignorance. You only know how
to have fun, and you like sniffing other
people's bottoms.

Kryten - You are subservient and logical. You put
others before yourself because that's simply
your nature. You fantasise about
Triple-Dust-Bag Turbo Suction vacuum cleaners,
and you like to plug household appliances into
your groin.

Holly - You are Holly, the ship's computer, with an
IQ of 6000 - or so you best understand. You're
a bit peculiar, really. Whether or not you
really do get all your space knowledge from the
Junior Astronomer's Encylodpedia will forever
remain your little secret.

And there was me thinking I was Lister!

Lister - You are deeply misunderstood. You have
dreams and ambitions - it's just that people
can't see them past your slovenly, lazy, crass,
unwashed, beer-guzzling exterior.

The thing is, I like sniffing other people's bottoms but don't want to commit to dog all the way.

The Inquisitor - All must stand in judgement before
you. You see neither good nor evil, you see
only others and their ratio of accomplishments

Is it good to triumphantly quote lines from Red Dwarf like that? Because I never have, and if I were to do it I would be compromising my instincts, but, y'know, if it would make me popular and stuff...

Well, John and I have written a total of about seven sentences that aren't Red Dwarf quotes in the last year. You smeghead.
