    Re: Red Dwarf Returns

    Indeed, my only dilemma is whether to watch each episode as it's broadcast, or record them all and then back-to-back viewing.

    Essential stuff... and this is despite being pretty sure that RD is way past its hey-day.

    Re: Red Dwarf Returns

    I'm pretty nervous about this. It's been quite some time for one thing, and series 7 & 8 were sub par in comparison to the previous ones (8 being better than 7 thanks to Rimmer returning).

    I just keep thinking of that gawd awful Blackadder: Back and Forth that was on Sky 1... And the talk of them collecting Lister from Coronation Street. It sounds awful, but if done right, could be good. Here's hoping.

    Re: Red Dwarf Returns

    I've got series 1-4 on DVD and not bothered with the rest. I hope this new episode is like these series.

    Do you think they will repeat it if I miss it?

    Re: Red Dwarf Returns

    The dialogue makes or breaks RD. I don't think the last series were bad in concept, just in practice.

    I don't think age or FX matters too much as long as the timing and pathos is there.
