    red dwarf revisited

    I ordered Red Dwarf at the request of my 11 year old son who has recently discovered this comedy classic via UK Gold. I sat down reluctantly to share a pizza and a 'watch with mother' session 21st century style. To my suprise I thoroughly enjoyed the whole DVD despite finding Red Dwarf unfunny in my way off days of youth. The comic timing is brilliant, characters wonderfully unsympathetic and, suprisingly considering it's age, the material was not dated. The only downside is that instead of watching all the 'must see'films I have chosen I now have to see Red Dwarf series 2. I'm also slightly concerned that comedy I once considered 'immature' now seems like a classic - is this nostalga or am I growing into a juvenile? No matter, it is worth it to watch my son whizz around pretending to be 'cat' and 'marking' everything as his (though He can keep his smegging hands off my PS2)

    Watch this, chill out and enjoy.

    brilliant stuff

    This first series of red dwarf is excellent, even better the second time round.

    It's still as fresh as it was when it first appeared on our screens.

    This is a belly laughing roller-coaster that wont let you get off until you scream out for more.
