Just acquired the last five seasons of the brilliant BBC comedy Red Dwarf.

So, finally, all eight seasons in digital format, surely something I’ve been dreaming of for years but it hasn’t been possible until very recently. Overall a very good series. A must have.

And contrary to what people will tell you, the series doesn’t deteriorate that much towards the end. I’ll admit that the last season (8th) is the weakest but that is all. The refinement of sets and acting makes up for the quips. Not to say that the quips are bad, just different. So, my favorite part of the series is probably season 4-7 nevertheless. I was very impressed with the likes of “Tikka to Ride” (s07e01). The what-ifs and time travel / continuum Star Trek-spoofs work for me every time.

Now, lets hope they get around to making that movie already.
