A Conversation for Red Dwarf - The TV Series

They have all so sold their souls for the money. Give these guys a set of stuck-together egg boxes and blinking lights and they make some of the best TV I have ever seen. Give them a £100 000 budget and it all goes to pieces.
Did you know that one of the writers droped out for series 7&8? If you look at the books they each wrote you can understand why those series were so totally off-balance; the writers had really different styles and it was the blend between them that got the really great stuff; now starbug is out of control and on course for that rather large moon directly in their path. Shame.

Yeah he did. He co-wrote that 'dinner is ready' episode with 'Jane AustinWorld' and the tank. That was one of the better episodes. He's written a really cool book too; 'The man on platform Five' but that's not red Dwarf related. Funny though.
DOo't watch the eighth series, though

I agree that the seventh series was bad, but you can't offend the eighth! Who doesn't laugh at the Dwane Dibley thing with the scutters?
