Red Dwarf VII

The galaxies best space comedy continues with the seventh instalment of Red Dwarf. There are a few changes to the show with the eventual absence of Rimmer however the overall storyline progresses well. This series has an extra two shows on it and a deluge of extras on the third disc. 

It’s funny but even as this series, grows in age, the amusement remains and I didn’t find any of the jokes to be too dated. There are some great moments on these discs and whilst I would not recommend this disc to a newcomer, existing fans are going to be howling with delight. 

Kochanski has a job on her hands filling in for Rimmer when he disappears, however it’s handled well, and although a little odd at first she does work her way into your confidence and heart. It’s a testament to the skills of the group as introducing a new character in the seventh and succeeding is no small trick. 

This series yet again is a must purchase and a very worthy addition to the Red Dwarf mythos. The release is worth the purchase for the extras alone and here we are with a whole series of one of the finest comedies ever.
