Starts this Thursday on 'Dave' (apparently) if anyone's interested.
It's not been on anything else before has it ??
Well...I like it....Apart from the awful mini series '9'. :-q

Cheers - Phil.

I'll be putting this on the Sky+, really looking forward to it.   :-bd 

From what I've read online, they've gone back to a lot of the original features, actual models instead of CGI, a studio audience instead of canned laughter, so I hope it all works.  For me, there's not been a new Red Dwarf since Series VI finished...  :(

Know what you mean Leon.
I enjoyed 7 & 8....Though not quite to the same extent, I suppose.

Have you been watching the re-runs of the original series? Comparing the actors then with the trailers for the new shows - they've all filled out a bit!

I find it worse seeing some of my old music heroes Ray....and thinking, "Stroll on you look so ancient."
Conveniently forgetting I suffer from the same affliction !! ;D ;D ;D

Just seen episode one of RDX...Thoroughly enjoyed it !

Yeah an interesting reboot.

It still feels like a parody of itself though.

It wasn't bad! It wasn't as good as the clasic ones. However I look stir like this...

Evey seriese in my opinion was worse than the one before it... Well it's now gettin better, so keep up the good work and by seriese 20 we will be back on form ;)

I thought the Cat second-guessing Rimmer over the moose was hilarious.  ;D

That was a goodie.....Have to say that i found last night's offering  a teensy tad below par.
Maybe that episode will grow on me. :-\

I think 1-2 were equally the best, 3-5 were all second joint then 6 and the first episode of 7, the rest of 7 was poor and it went down hill from then on (back to earth was the worse) but I would say X is some place between 7 and 6. That's just my opinion.

I'll have to work my 'list' out. ;)
Though I think series 3 was when it really started to kick off, when Kryten joined the cast on a full time basis.
But like you V....that's just my personal preference..and we all have our own particular favourites. ;)

I liked the tragic bleakness of the first series.

Once it moved away from 'its just us left', i think it started to parody itself a little bit.

Liking X so far though.

I've just managed to get the first episode watched tonight, and quite enjoyed it, bit odd seeing them so much older though!

I think overall, series' 3 & 4 were my favourites, with the Legion episode being one I can watch again and again.
