Puzzle Description:

Starbug from the British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf. The clue is from the theme song.

I can't stand seeing my poor puzzle here with no comments, so I'm adding one. Apparently, the 10 people who have completed it are the only ones who are going to complete it, since it's now on the oblivion of the 3rd or 4th page.

Okay, I'm adding one more since the song's now in my head...

It's cold outside. There's no kind of atmosphere.
I'm all alone. More or less.
Let me fly far away from here.
It's fun, fun, fun
In the sun, sun, sun!

interesting character :)

My comments about no one commenting on my puzzle seem a little sad now!! Thanks, Naneki! Interesting that only 20 people have completed this puzzle as of right now. I don't think it's particularly hard or particularly huge.

Also, the TV show is a bit obscure! This is actually the main ship for several of the seasons. They forgot where they parked the big ship (Red Dwarf) and had to make do with the Starbug for a while.

I can't say I've ever seen the show but sounds interesting.

maybe everyone is catching up on solve puzzles like I am..I have spent so much time creating them, now I'm trying to solve as I create.

also I've noticed that not to many people are posting comments lately

but between You & I, we can put all kinds of comments on this one to peak everyones curiosity!

Hmmmm, that might work! Sometimes I do start a puzzle just because it has a lot of comments on it!

I was entirely too curious, so I did a search for all puzzles that are within about 20 of this one numerically. And there were a lot of puzzles posted by you around this time too, and it looks like there were just a few days where most puzzles only have about 20-30 completely solved, then it jumps back to the 50s and 60s. Weird. And, no, I really don't have that much time on my hands. I should be reading!

I love Red Dwarf. I found it on Netflix. The first few seasons are kind of "odd couple in space." Everyone has died except one guy who was in stasis for 3 million years, so the computer brings his annoying bunk-mate back as a hologram to keep him company after he is released from stasis. And since it's 3 million years in the future, the guy's cat (which survived and had lots of kittens) has evolved into something that looks a lot like a human but likes to eat fishies and chase shiny things!

Eats fishies?! Bionerd where are you?
I've seen ads for Red Dwarf but have never watched it. The few people who have highly recommend it. And they are people who's opinions I highly respect. So, I add your recommendation to that list. :)

Forgot to tell you how very much I enjoyed this puzzle BG. I haven't a reference to the show but this is definitely a big, green scary bug. Very Sci-Fi "ish". It almost jumps right off the screen.
I'd have to say it's an excellent job. :)

Oops! Forgot to tell you that the title reminded my of "Rocket Man". There is a reference to cold but I'm can't remember if there's one to atmosphere. Anyway, nice title. :)

Doggone it! What's with me tonight? I keep forgetting. :)
Fun puzzle Arduinna, thank you! :D

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. In fact, it's cold as hell.

Is that it, Gypso? I hope I got the lyrics right. I'm notorious for hearing the wrong thing!

This was sitting in my partials for ages. It was easy when I got round to it, so I must've just not been in the mood at the time >.>

As soon as I saw the amount of green there was, I knew it had to be Starbug. Red Dwarf is one of my absolute favourite shows <3

I have a Starbug playset on my desk. It has all the characters in it and Holly's head pops up when you push Talkie Toaster. And Lister's holding a beer! I've never seen a toy with a beer in it! I had to order it from England, so the shipping cost almost as much as the ship!

Yes! Those are the lyrics I meant Arduinna. Thank you for remembering them. :)

This one's been sitting in my partially solved forever too! Finally got it done tonight.. Why did I pick this one? Cause it's the one in my partially solved with the greatest number of commnts. ;) Really! :D

funny..guess it worked :)

LOL! I've seen this comment a lot from you lately, Deana! Spring cleaning in your unsolved puzzles list?

I'm pretty much out of puzzles that I haven't started. Less than 10... so I'm forced into the partially saved category... of which there are a LOT! :D

Terrific puzzle. Thx

Thanks. Love the show. Wish they had made the movie.

Fishies!! Five years too late to comment.
I'm going through all of my favorite people's puzzles now that I'm due to have a baby any day now and am stuck on the couch. I should check out this show too. I've been watching a lot of netflix! I know no one I know still comments so this is for nothing. But it's nice to visit the good ole times. :D

I enjoyed this one Arduinna. Thanks!

Just adding a comment late in 2017. It seemed appropriate. ;P

I did also want to say I looked up pictures of the Starbug and it is one ugly ship, but in a funny way. I suppose that was intentional because it is a sci-fi comedy. Good likeness. Also, I found this on the homepage as a featured puzzle. Don't worry, it comes back around.

Don't know what this is. It was a fun solve of a very odd image.

I've watched the first few seasons of Red Dwarf, but I don't think I got this far. :)

So now I gotta look up Red Dwarf. I love sci-fi, especially space adventures.! This was a great puzzle, thanks!
