Great series. I thought series 7 was the worst, the humour just seemed forced, and Kochanski wasn't nearly as funny as she thought she was. But I thought series 8 was better (still nowhere near series 1 and 2 though), but all in all, I'm looking forward to a new series.
From my understanding, Naylor and Grant had a falling out which resulted in them not working together on the scripts. It was explained to me that one of them was 'funny' but didn't write that great, and the other wasn't as funny but wrote well, so when they were together, they were unstoppable writing machines. With the split, that perfection was unobtainable with one writer missing. I sincerely hope they get the old team working again, then I think we'd see a return to the hey-days of Red Dwarf.

The DID erase the new crew, they all scarpered in starbugs and blue midgets at the end of series 8.Volucer post=18.70401.695733 said:
To whoever asked about the books, you're missing "backwards".
To whoever didn't believe it, heres a link to Robert Llewellyn's official forum's topic on the subject http://www.llewtube.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=841
That's not waht I really meant by erase, I meant remove completely, act like it didn't happen. Also that reminds me, we need some sort of resolution to the cliffhanger, with Lister, Kokhanski, Cat and Kryton in the parallel world, and Rimmer running from Death on a destroyed Red Dwarf. When I win the lottery finding the movie will be one of the first things on my agenda!
Red Dwarf is easily one of the funniest shows I have ever seen and any people who haven't seen should go and watch it as soon as they can
close. Grant was great at comedy, particularly slapstick and insults, whereas Naylor was very good at sci fi. both were resonable writers (as evidenced by their seperate books) but together they had the chemestry of Funny Space straight down. The later series, from VII onwards were all written by Naylor by himself. The Sci Fi elements that were added (nanobots, alternative demensions, that smartmouthed virus) all very clever, but the comedy is where it fell down.kinch post=18.70401.695206 said:
I thnk what made RD was that it was produced so badly in the first couple of sessions:
Session 1: Look at our great use of carbroad!! he he we really know how to LOL at our self's
Session 2: WTF how did we get this far!
Session 3: damn we better put some work into making this look like a real Sci-fi show.
From there the sets got better but it lost alot of it's charm. And well there is just no goign back.
That said i've watched them all and they are only my list of to buy dvd's, I think I have session 1~4 atm.
enjoy

Ze Americans, zey just don't get it. Reproducing foreign comedies, with yankee actors is stupid. They should just buy the airing rights or whatever it's technically called, because they always cock it up. Not to mention the fact that more often than not they bomb in American audiences as well. Better to just see, just try for once, and see if the yankee audience likes the original, before everything gets frenchfrizicised.
