Red Dwarf Just the Shows Vol.1
Starring: Criss Barrie(Rimmer), Craig Charles(Lister), Danny John-Jules(Cat), Robert Llewellyn(Kryten), Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge

Written by: Rob Grant and Doug Naylor
Directed by: Ed Bye


Red dwarf, as ever is one of the best sitcoms around. The way Craig Charles and Chris Barry set eachother off is fantastic.
This DVD is 4 series of an absolute classic, although the first series doesnt seem to have as much clout as the other 3 so it could bore some people.
Just the shows is, as its name suggests, just the shows, theres no directors commentarys or smegups episodes, just classic red dwarf.

Series 1
THE END
FUTURE ECHOES
BALANCE OF POWER
CONFIDENCE AND PARANOIA
WAITING FOR GOD
ME2

The first series contains some excellent episodes, my favorite being confidence and paranoia. The pure randomness of the fish rain scene has to be seen to be believed.

Series 2
KRYTEN
BETTER THAN LIFE
THANKS FOR THE MEMORY
STASIS LEAK
QUEEG
PARALLEL UNIVERSE

In series two we meet kryten for the first time, as well as seeing the female holly(Hattie hayridge) in PARALLEL UNIVERSE

Series 3
BACKWARDS
MAROONED
POLYMORPH
BODYSWAP
TIMESLIDES
THE LAST DAY

Series 3 is packed with laughs, like the classic C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S scene,

Series 4
CAMILLE
DNA
JUSTICE
WHITE HOLE
DIMENSION JUMP
MELTDOWN

My favorite out of the selection has to be series 4, every episode is just so funny, In series 4 we see Ace for the first time...What a Guy..

This selection is a great 12 hours of entertainment, and bound to keep you laughing for months, the great thing about having the 4 series is that theres an episode to suit any mood. The perfect thing to tide you over until the upcoming film
