Full review
Series 5-8 of the smash hit comedy series created and written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.
Three million years into deep space, lister continues to eat curry. If you haven't seen series 1-4 it's recommended you see this first (check out my review 'classic Red Dwarf series 1-4') although I personally feel it loses it's way after series 6 it's worth buying just for series 5,6. I feel series 7,8 just plays on the same old things, rimmer is persecuted non stop and Kryten becomes extremely neurotic.

The Episodes were originally released in DVD in a new digitally enhanced format with loads of CGI and bits missing. Thanks to an Internet petition this classic series has finally hit the shelves, if you're expecting Extras you'll be disappointed and should probably buy the individual series. If you are looking for Red Dwarf in all it's original glory then this is for you, as a little reminder of what to expect here is an episode by episode, series by series review.

SERIES 4.
ep1 holoship, best bits – interviewing Rimmer's replacement

ep2 the inquisitor, best bits – lister opening the door with his third hand

ep3 terrorform, best bits – pretty good episode, too many best bits

ep4 quarantine, best bits – The crew waiting for the scanner to work

ep5 Demons and angels, best bits – remote control Lister

Ep6 back to reality, best bits – The best Red Dwarf Episode in my opinion!

SERIES 5.

ep1 psirens, best bits – the guitar test

ep2 legion, best bits – eating with anti-matter chopsticks

ep3 gunmen of the apocalypse, best bits – The whole episode is great, cant pick a best bit.

Ep4 emohawk, polymorph II, best bits – Listers wedding night

ep5 rimmer world, best bits – Rimmer creates a whole race of... Rimmers

ep6 out of time, best bits – lister in a jar

SERIES 6.

ep1 tikka to ride, best bits – JFK killing himself

ep2 stoke me a kipper, best bits – ace rimmer returns

Ep3 ouroboros, best bits – lister discovers his roots

ep4 duct soup, best bits – getting washed away

Ep5 blue, best bits – lister dreams about rimmer

ep6 beyond a joke, best bits – Kryten attacking Pride and prejudice world with a tank

ep7 epideme, best bits - lister loses an arm

ep8 nanarchy, best bits - Red Dwarf returns

SERIES 8

Ive only seen this series once, it deteriorates into over the top crude humour. however there are some funny moments

ep1 back in the red I,

ep2 back in the red II,

ep3 back in the red III,

ep4 casandra, best bits – the psycho Canary

ep5 Krytie TV,

ep6 pete part1, best bits – pete the Tyrannosaurus sparrow

ep7 Pete part II

ep8 only the good, best bits – it ends, unconvincingly

If you've seen the first 4 series, buy this now! if not buy the first series, then buy this!
