Time for a bit of Rimmer

It's almost been 10 years since I sat down on a shit ridden sofa with magnum of Lambrini in one hand, and a a chip filled naan bread in the other and reached for a VHS copy of Red Dwarf, recorded in real time from the TV each week (naturally). In our student shithole we had an extra couple of series of Red Dwarf on display which were never released; the perfect way to hide your porn collection from visiting parents or girls.

Brilliant, prolific writing with some of the best characterisation this side of deep space nine. Rimmer, Holly, Kitchanski, Kryton and of course The Cat brought genuine joy to 9 o'clock on a Friday night. And the sound track's pretty bloody good too!
