Highlight: Red Dwarf VI

Psirens. Not you, Pete Tranter's sister!

Series VI is my favourite series of Red Dwarf, because it hit upon a winning sitcom formula and kept up a major story arc. This is the series where our characters were honed to perfection, and while there are a few misses you can't help but love the madness of Out of Time's cliffhanger or the sheer gold that composes award-favourite Gunmen of the Apocalypse. Simple enough, then. My highlight from Series VI is Psirens, the episode that ushered our characters back into development and managed to be the most successful reboot that the show has managed so far (of the three or four.) Also - chameleonic space weevils? Cheeky references to the failed Red Dwarf USA? Count me in.

Thanks.
