Plots(1)
Chicken soup machine repairman and intergalactic loser Dave Lister awakes from suspended animation to discover he is the lone survivor of a radiation leak and is now three million years into deep space and the last surviving member of the human race. Dave is soon joined by a hologram of his dead bunkmate, a life-form who's evolved from his pet cat, and a neurotic sanitation mechanoid. Together this unlikely bunch of heroes attempt to find their way back to Earth, under the guidance of Holly, the ship's senile computer, encountering a whole heap of smeg on the way.

Back to Earth (2009) (S09)
Old friends return with a new helping of space fun. They've toned down the bang, added a few more wrinkles (I'm actually quite surprised they haven't killed themselves in the cabin in that time), have better visual effects (but still retain that beautifully naive childlike B-ness), and the audience laughter is no longer there. The biggest downside to this trilogy is that it's just a trilogy and not a straight up series. I'm sure the boys would be up for it. The episodes show that they are moving with the times (CSI parodies, making fun of DVDs), the jokes are a bit more accessible to all viewers (not just RD fans), but they still have the usual energy (the Blade Runner quote in the third part is a treat)... It's a lot, but it could have been more. I want a movie! I want a movie! I want a movie!

Season 10 (2012) (S10)
Red Dwarf is back in all its glory (I know, I know, there was no other way to do it with the Cat) and the tenth series is just a joy. The fourth episode, Entangled, is a bit too involved for my taste, but I'm not afraid to rank at least three episodes (with Jesus, Lister and Rimmer's father) among the best with which Red Dwarf has ever assaulted the audience's diaphragms.
