This series is extremely underrated with a largely negative opinion in what i believe is the majority. I my self would say this is possibly one of the best seasons they produced, it saw a move back to Red Dwarf its self which i felt had been a mistake to take away from the show.
This really went back to the core of what red dwarf is about. The Lister and rimmer bunk scenes, which are fantastic.
The return of Holly. Truely one of the best aspects of the series. Always had some great jokes.
I think they only critism by this point in time is the Cats character has simply become less funny over the years (not to say i dont still like him).

This is absolutely a must buy dvd. Back to its peak it once held with season 3. Extremely enjoyable, ill never understand how this show took 10 years to see new episodes after this season.

Buy this Now. You wont regret it

There's some ill feeling from fans towards series 8 but I genuinely like it, there are some truly funny moments and the change of scenery helps freshen things up. Rimmer and Lister find themselves bunk mates once again and it's good to see their chemistry. There are flaws but ultimately it's a worthy entry.

Why are so many people slamming this? This is the best series since the first; Holly, Captain Hollister, the ship and Rimmer are all back on top form. The stories are fantastic and I don't recall a single moment when I wasn't laughing my socks off! Ignore all the negative reviews, this series is awesome!
