yup lister needs more coke money to finance the coke to finance the tabloid coke bust scandal money and keep his kids in private education

My prediction - this will be utter shit and kind of embarrassing to watch due to the obvious effects of time on the performers. Cat was quite good in Blade 2 could he not get any more movie parts?

Alan you are spot on about the filming, it's a strange thing that British sitcoms have that rather recognisable 'bright' lighting while American programmes have the more soft-focus touch.

Well, I'll approach it with an open mind. I will watch it and then decide what my opinion is.

The first 6 series were filmed on a set in front of a live studio audience. Then for series 7 they decided to start filming in a proper film studio, without an audience, which would allow them to use a lot more special effects, have more elaborate sets, have a fourth wall and generally change the look of the show to make it look a lot more professional. However the fans pretty much hated it, so for series 8 it went back to live audience.

I didn't mind series 7 (the one where Kochanski came back) but I thought series 8 was pretty poor, they should never had brought the whole crew back to life, the whole point of the show was that Lister was meant to be the last human, and space was empty and lonely. Plus, a live T-Rex running round Red Dwarf? Sorry, that's just silly. And the continuity issues are laughable, especially the backstory of Lister and Kochanski's relationship (up to series 6 they had never had a relationship and Lister's biggest regret was never having told her how he felt. Then in series 7 they had gone out for 3 months and she had dumped him) Still, looking forward to the specials and seeing how Rimmer managed to outfox the Grim Reaper.

Series 7 definitely has its flaws (Kochanski being the obvious one) but it still has enough good bits to make it worthwhile, the first episode with JFK is awesome. 8 doesn't really have nay redeeming features imo. Bringing the crew back and having Rimmer, Lister et al locked up ruined the whole point.

Series' 4 and 5 was definitely the peak of Red Dwarf.
