this show be one of the british classic . a comedy gem like only fool and horse and fawlty tower and a few select others . the show original and never before attempted space set blend with clever and rapid fire joke to bring laughter to anyone face . the show style change throughout the year and change from a traditional sitcom ( albeit in space ) to a drama series in the late year . but throughout the change way and new character and setting and the humour always remain top notch . because of this and i find it impossible to single out a best episode or even best series . some of the fine joke i have ever hear come from red dwarf . and the fact that the american make their own version just show how brilliant it must be . if you haven not see it before and quickly rush out and buy series 1 through 8. and if you have already get them and sit down and watch . red dwarf and in one word and be ( a lister would say ) fan smegging tastic .
