Give the "New" Red Dwarf a chance!, Nov 20 2006
This review is from: Red Dwarf Series 8 (DVD)
Some people regard this season as awful because it's not classic Red Dwarf. Newsflash people: shows don't stay good by doing the same thing over and over again. I only wish there was a Red Dwarf IV, V, VI... to prove this point, because this season really had further potential with the new prison setup. I admit, I didn't like it at first either, but once I saw "Cassandra" all doubts were erased. Great writing, great pairing of Chris and Chloe in the most unanticipated sex scene that never happened. And how can you not like "Pete" where the cast has to deal with the really big problem of a Dino that eats big, and well, Dinos have digestive problems with vindaloos too.
I have to say the last episode "Only the Good..." actually manages to pull off a decent ending to what at this point seems likely to be the end of this saga (still hoping they can pull off a movie). It's classic - Rimmer managing to pull one over "Death" by kneeing him in the crotch. Miss this series much - but at least I can revisit my favorites, including VIII, on DVD.

Traditional British humour, May 2 2011
This review is from: Red Dwarf Series 8 (DVD)
In the tradition of Benny Hill et al, this sci-fi comedy keeps you smiling.
Fast paced and with Cockney/London accents!
