Sort of passed me by. Like Doctor Who until the revamp. I know it has quite a rabbid fanbase, but I dunno... is it worth a total n00b such as myself bothering to watch the new episodes on Dave tonight?

Doesn't it have like 9000 seasons?

Not sure. It's more a fun thing than necessarily pant wettingly funny. I own all the DVDs and treasure them though Creepy Smile

Watch 'em and see.

My Radio Times-working mate had this as his Faceboob status a coupla days ago after the Premiere.

Tom **** enjoyed Red Dwarf: Back to Earth. And he thinks you will too!

Following a comment, he also posted the below:

Trust me Mr. B, as a very-hard-to-please, uber-nerdy former die-hard Dwarf fan, I came away pleasantly surprised. OK, it's not like I attained nirvana while watching it but it's a thoroughly pleasant return to form. I want to tell you so much about it but I won't spoil it for you!

Personally, I'll be watching, mostly for nostalgic reasons. Dwarf at it's best was the greatest show ever. At it's worse, it could be pretty shabby. Give it a go, for half hour, it's not gonna kill you, and you might like it. But it wouldn't be my starting point (season 3 is probably the best of the lot, and the one with the best dynamics, ranging from the full on slapstick enemy of the week stuff in Polymorph to real one-set character episodes like Marooned).

Right, I'll give it a go then and try to work up enough of an appetite for seeking out the early stuff.

I've opted for new mythbusters instead.

I too have never watched it, nor ever felt compelled too.
Is Chris Barrie funnier in it than The Brittas Empire ?
