At what age did you or do you plan to introduce your kids to Red Dwarf?
Had an interesting chat with my 5 year old today where she asked if I’d had my current coat since I was 13 so I laughed and told her, ‘no, at 13 I had a coat that said Red Dwarf on it’.
We then talked about what Red dwarf was and I mentioned a talking cat, a talking computer and a robot and now she wants to watch it with me.
But, I’m thinking she’s probably too young right now and she won’t get most of the jokes.
So my question is, if you have kids, at what age did you introduce them to Red Dwarf and how was their reaction?
And, if your kids are too young or you don’t have them yet, what age do you think would be sensible for them to enjoy Red Dwarf for the first time?
