Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

Well ive finally reached Red Dwarf series VI. Its been a long hard road, but i have finally reviewed all six series that have been released on DVD so far. Series V had been broadcast and the pilot of the American version of the show had been a spectacular flop. So the fans made it very clear what they wanted. The wanted more Holly and more episodes set on board Red Dwarf. So what did writers, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor do? They cut Red Dwarf and ...
...to attack . Losing Red Dwarf gave the show a dramatic impetus as well as a new style. Running jokes were introduced with rimmers "Space Corps Directives" and Cats "Deader than's" The filming was done under intense pressure from the BBC who wanted it for a Spring/Summer broadcast. Scripts were often completed just in time for the cast to learn the lines without time for rehearsal. In fact they cast had to read their lines off autoque in Out of Time ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

...the rest of motley crew. Red Dwarf is a city sized ship occupied by Dave, the surviving member of the race that evolved from his Cat, Kryten a nervous droid obsessed with housework, and Holly, the ship's computer. Holly used to have an I.Q. of 6,000... but he's gone a bit peculiar after 3 million years in space, and after giving himself a head-swap operation to look like his female self from another universe... the crew are pretty certain that he's ...
...piece of entertainment circa 1992 BBC. The season opens with Psirens, a definite Top 10 Best Ever episode of this cult classic that ran until 1999. Season Five gained so many viewers that they wanted to open this season with a good recap for all newcomers. While the crew were busy exploring the Esperanto (final episode of season five "Back to Reality"), someone nicked the ship leaving Rimmer, Kryten, Cat and Dave stuck on Starbug 1. Krten has been ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

Red Dwarf: Series 6 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While visually very similar to the previous couple of series, Series 6 of Red Dwarf does move the show into a new direction comedically. The quality of special effects and sets has again improved and the whole series has a movie like quality to it, not surprising as this was expected to be the last series and the next step was to make a film. This effectively made Series 6 a long drawn out pitc h to the movie ...
...those not familiar with the Red Dwarf story, here is a brief recap: Dave Lister (Craig Charles) is the sole surviving crew member of the spaceship Red Dwarf. Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), who was previously his superior, has been brought back as a hologram by the ships computer, Holly, to keep Lister company. Also on board is The Cat (Danny John Jules), a creature who has evolved from Lister’s pet cat and the mechanoid Kryten (Robert Llewellyn). ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

Red Dwarf: Series 6 is the sixth season of the British sci-fi sitcom created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. The sixth series started in 1993 and consists of six episodes. The series starts off with the crew awaking from suspended animation. Someone has taken Red Dwarf, they don't know why, but they have been tracking their exhaust trail for 200 years and have now caught up with it. Thus, this whole series is based nearly entirely onboard Starbug, ...
...of Red Dwarf I ever saw, so for me it has a lot of sentimental value to it. I hardly watch any British comedy really, and so for me to actually watch and love this it shows how much quality it has. The writing is superb, it's like Blackadder in the fact that a lot of the humour comes from insults and put downs. This is a tad more crude though, which fits in well with their characters being space bums of sorts. There's a lot of self-deprecating humour ...

Although Norman did return later in the series. Kristine Kochanski was also played by two people Clare ...

He is the only survivor, except that is for the cat which was deep in the bowls of the ship and was pregnant at the time it was brought aboard.

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

...opinion, the sixth series of Red Dwarf is the best yet. All 6 episodes are fantastic with a huge cliffhanger at the end which would leave all fans guessing for 3 years before series 7 makes its appearance! --THE EPISODES-- The series begins with 'Psirens', and it is revealed that the crew have lost their ship, Red Dwarf, and are stuck on Starbug. Lister apparently parked Red Dwarf and can't remember where. As they begin their search for it, they ...
...Apocalypse'. The best episode of Red Dwarf ever made! Kryten contracts a computer virus from the ships computer and falls into unconsciousness. In order to help him find a cure, Rimmer, Lister and Cat load themselves into his dreams. They find themselves in a Western where Kryten is a drunk, pathetic sheriff whose town is being terrorised by the Apocalypse boys. The second half of the series kicks off with 'Emohawk - Polymorph II' In order to replace ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

...he is at now on Red Dwarf. He has no luck with women but is still very funny. Cat (Danny John-Jules). Cat is a very cool creature that loves fashion. He is descended from Cats, which I will tell you about later. Kryten (Robert Llewellyn). Kryten is an android that the last 3 members of Red Dwarf picked up from the abandoned space vessel, the Nova 5. He loves work, and especially cleaning. *******The episodes******* These are the episodes that ...
...*******The storyline******* Red Dwarf is a mining ship from Earth. It's crew did number 169 but unfortunately Rimmer didn't fix the drive plate properly because he didn't have any help from Lister because Lister had been put in a stasis field due to keeping an illegal cat on board. The cat's name was Frankenstein. Because Rimmer didn't fix the drive plate properly this caused an atomic explosion and it wiped out the crew except for Lister who could ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

...i have been hooked on Red Dwarf and it has had me in stitches ever since. 6 more classic Red Dwarf episodes are contained within this DVD in bite sized chunks. For those unaware of what Red Dwarf is, allow me to spread a little light on the show. Dave Lister, a no good space bum who enjoys nothing more than sugar puff sandwiches, a warm lager and a glass of cold vindaloo sauce in the morning, is the lowest ranked member on the space mining ship ...
...If any series of Red Dwarf is to be seen, please make it series 6. The series does the show complete justice and shows what the whole program is about, clever plotlines, belly-achingly funny gags and one-liners, beautifully scripted by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor and performed by a very talented cast of established British actors, Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John Jules and Robert Lewellyn. The second disc of the package contains the large collection ...

Review of Red Dwarf - Series 6 (DVD)

...of the best series of Red Dwarf, if not the best. Now travelling on Starbug, the transport space craft, in persute of Red Dward because "Lilster can't remember where he parked it", the motley crew get into a whole heap of scarpes. There are some great one liners and, of course, there's the space directives which Kryten doesn't let Rimmer get away with once. Again, there's a whole disc full of extras, out-takes, documentaries and featurettes. In ...
...the odds, the cast are supberb in this episode, which just goes to sow how great they are and how comfortable they are in their roles. If you're going to start at any other series than series one, then start here, this really is Red Dwarf at its best. ...
