![]() ![]() Red Dwarf + Red Dwarf: Back to Earth I re-watched all eight series of its original run recently, having not seen them since it was on. I was 4 when the first series aired and so naturally a lot of it I knew well and a lot of it I didn't. Some of it I may or may not have ever even seen before. I used to adore this show when I was younger and re-watching it again just makes me realise how much I still love it. Goofy, quirky and very intelligently written sci-fi sitcom. Back to Earth (a three-part resurrection that served as series 9) is something I watched when it aired and was somewhat undecided on. I watched it again and I have to say that I like it. General consensus has been negative, which isnt really a surprise. It had been a full 10 years since the show last aired with series VIII, the actors had aged and there was no laughter track or live studio audience. The last point would often be a good thing but the new specials had a very different feel to them and didnt feel familiar. That, however, didnt mean the content was no good. The first part was pretty poor but parts two and three were actually pretty great. Can't wait for series X! |

Red Dwarf, now there's a series I haven't watched since I was a lad and probably missed 95% of the jokes. Definitely a series I need to revisit, hopefully it will be on Instant Netflix soon, like so many other great British comedies.

Absolutely adore Red Dwarf and I did enjoy "Season 9" as well. I need to re-watch them all again though, as well as Peep Show.

![]() ![]() Damn man...Spaced, so good! Such a shame that it's now over...heard that the show wasn't cancelled, but the creative team called it quits. It's a shame to there's a lot they could've done with it. Overall the show was very funny. Really love the homages to cinema throughout the series, just awesome! |
