TV Review: Red Dwarf Series 4 A rather fine set of adventures from the Red Dwarf Posse 8/10

Red Dwarf Series 4

A great outing for the crew of Red Dwarf, maintaining the feet they found in series 3, and containing some wonderful sci-fi ideas as well as excellent gags. It consists of 6 episodes: ‘Camille’, ’DNA’, ’Justice’,  ‘White Hole’,  ‘Dimension Jump’, and ‘Meltdown’.  The episodes are consistently good and funny from start to end, and the best episode is probably Dimension Jump, the episode that introduces the cool, manly and confident version of the Dwarf’s weaselly, cowardly Rimmer, as ‘Ace’.   However, there’s some spectacularly funny parts throughout: The Cat meeting his ideal partner (‘Get me a Brandy!’), Kryten becoming human and showing Lister double-polaroids of the genitals, Lister playing pool with planets, and Lister’s reaction when seeing Winnie The Pooh being led out to be executed.

I thoroughly recommend this series.

Rating:Good 8/10
