For those of you who don't know, Red Dwarf is a sitcom basedin space , based around a Scouse slob named Dave Lister, a dead crewmate named Arnold Rimmer, a droid and a creature evolved from a domestic cat. Absolutely brilliant viewing.
Having already bought just the shows shows volume one last year, I saw the need to buy this set. Series 5 and 6 have always been my favourite, and I had to own them.
The episode "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" from series 6 won an international award for it's story.
I wasn't dissapointed, and even though series 7 and 8 are a bit of a let down, owning the complete set of Red Dwarf is opportunity that can't be missed.
This set has 6 dvds, as series 7 and 8 have 8 episodes each, which may explain why the set is generally more expensive than the first set.
There also arent any extras on the dvds, but I have never watched DVD extras before anyway.
In conclusion, this is a great addition to the first box set, even if it's just for the fifth and sixth series - especially Rimmerworld and The inquisitor!
