Red Dwarf: Complete Series 1 (2 Discs)

I love Red Dwarf and this DVD doesn't let the series down. It has all 6 episodes from the first series on the first disc and a load of extras on the second.
My recommendation would be to listen to the commentary on the first disc as well. You have commentary from all the cast which is interesting and in a lot of places really funny.

Without a doubt this has to be the best british tv show of all time.
from the first series aboard red dwarf itself nothing special was needed because the whole concept between Lister and Rimmer was pure geniuse and the Cat well what can you say Danny john jules was my favourite.
although the FX were not that good to be honest it didnt need to be because the chemistry between the actors was awesome ans as the action was move outside red dwarf as the series wnet buy the show just kept getting better and better.
heres to hoping we see the long awaited movie in the future.

The year was 1988 and, flicking through the television schedules one night, I happened upon a new series entitled 'Red Dwarf' Billed as a science-fiction comedy I was initially unsure quite what to expect but am I glad I decided to tune in. The adventures of Dave Lister ran from 1988 till 1999 over 8 series and 52 episodes and remain one of the greatest comedy series ever produced by the BBC. As much a science fiction show as a sinple comedy the characters and storylines were inspired and the series cult fanbase grew and grew. With this, the DVD of Series 1 you get a chance to see how it all began (the re-released re-mastered re-jigged VHS versions are best forgotten) and, though the sets and FX are shaky at best (Think early Dr. Who) the writing, acting and comedy is without equal. Over the first 6 episodes we are slowly introduced to the crew of Red Dwarf, the aforementioned curry-lover and last human Dave Lister (wonderfully portrayed by Craig Charles) the uptight genius that is Arnold J Rimmer (Craig Barrie on outstanding form) the cool-as-a-cucumber Cat (a suitably whacked out Danny John Jules) and Holly, the ships computer with an IQ of 6,000 (The equivalent of 6000 PE teachers). The cast and crew would increase in subsequent series but the writing was pin-sharp from the very first scene. The DVD itself is a thing of great beauty, obviously created by people who appreciate the fans. Superb themed menus and two discs crammed full of deleted scenes, commentaries by all the cast, featurettes and hidden easter eggs this is a fantastic presentation of a grounbreaking sci-fi comedy. But even better than that the show, and the DVDs, just got better...

Classic red dwarlf! brilliant anf funny! if you havnt seen any more of the series then make it a definate thing that you watch the rest as it only gets better! Im also lookng towards the movie! ^_^

I recommend this to anyone that has even the smallest sense of humour in them. Each episode will leave you in stiches. Must be one of my favourite comidies ever plus its british. The characters are amazing and im sure most people can relate to Lister in one why and i feel sorry for you if you relate to Rimmer.
