Advantages: Very funny, fantastic extras, very good final series Disadvantages: too many special effects, the first episode is longer than it needs to be
...final series of the brilliant Red dwarf series ends with the words The end..... The smeg it is. But as time passes it becomes increasingly unlikely that the long promised film will ever be made. So how good is the final series? Compared to some of the earlier series it doesn't compare favourably, but i do believe its an improvement on the 6th and 7th series. And just because its not as good as series 2-5 that doesn't mean this isn't a good series, ... ...slightly large, but rapidly shrinking Red dwarf leading to them destroying starbug and giving one rat a rather big surprise. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are actually one very long episode, which you can watch in one go along with previously deleted scenes, making it longer than any movie would have been. This episode is brilliantly written with some fantastic conversations between Lister and Rimmer, part of what made red dwarf great. The basic synopsis of ...

...straight from Series 7. The Red Dwarf crew which is Lister, Cat, Kryten and Kochanski, sail back into the new Red Dwarf that was re-created by the Nanobots.
However, Red Dwarf appears to be larger than what it use to look like (in terms of length and space. It makes Starbug look like a pea!)
As the Starbug crew sail their way through a massive Red Dwarf, they find themselves going through a length, yet humourous, escipade!
After they crash-land ... ...the midst of the original Red Dwarf crew due to the fact that the Nanobots ressurrected the crew. Our beloved Starbug crew face themselves going to jail, however, they try to escape with the help of a not-so-dead Rimmer. Lister persuades him to help them, in return, he can make Rimmer the smeggy Officier he's always dreamed about! However, the Captain of Red Dwarf, Captain Hollister, has stuck the crew in an Artificial Reality suite to see them escape...to ...

Advantages: More from the classic red dwarf with better screen quality Disadvantages: It is the Last ever series
...say, it is another classic red dwarf series. This series is on par if not better than the other series's. It is different to the previous five series's because it is less monster of the week and more reminiscant of series one and two. This is mainly due to the sitcom aspect of the red dwarf, because there is a lot more classic lister and rimmer bunk scenes. This series is a lot more contextual and relevant to the time period that it was created, ... ...pure comic genius. So basically if you have ever found anything funny ever, this is the series for you. The bonus skutter is awesome, because despite what the pictures look like the skutter looks the part and is an excellent additon to the collection to the satrbug with the series five dvd. ...
