Red Dwarf- New series?

It appears "Dave" are broadcasting a new series of Red Dwarf, starting
at 21:00 on Friday. It claims to be a "Dave original".

 

Yep, brand new series, with all the old crew back in action.

Dunno if I'm bothered though. Will it tarnish the memory?

 

There is, apparently, a new series, or episode, or something. UKRM passim.

And so it is. A three-parter with eac epi shown at 21:00 Friday, Sat and
Saun.

Oddly, in the TV mag this week.... a full 8 series DVD set is being
advertised.

So - is it any good ?

 

The box set? Yes it's great. All the originals, not the nasty
re-mastered ones. And as a bonus you get the new series' as well (as in
VII and VIII, the less good ones)

I'm not overly impressed with the new episode.

I've not watched it yet, it's on Sky+ (went to see 'Knowing' instead). I
confess, my expectations are not high.

It was OK, I'll watch the rest and a full series if they make one.
Thing is, I'm not in my teens any more (by a long way). So I'm not
really going to be into a program I watched in my teens.

Nor I.

 

Last night's episode so-so, but may get better.

What are the details of the box set you mention, clearly there are
different versions to avoid.

You probably won't be disappointed then.

And I regularly watch the episodes on Dave at 1 or 2 in the morning. I'm
hoping it perks up a bit tonight and Sunday.

No idea about different versions of the boxed stuff, but the BBC
'remastered' all the early stuff, adding a load of CGI fx which really
looked (IMHO) shit.

The episodes on this set are un-molested, and as originally transmitted.
Which is (again IMHO) nice.

The camera work was doing my head in, far too many re-establishing
shots detracting from the storyline for the sake of big backgrounds,
and then some truly horrible camera angles like shooting over the
shoulder a character sat at a table, IIRC. It all just looked wrong
and uncomfortable.

 

10 minutes in and episode 2 is already getting painful

 

Still not watched Ep 1 yet, but Sky+ seems to agree. It just
spontaneously rebooted.

A slight improvement over epi 1, but only slight.
