Red Dwarf XI episode 5 review: Krysis
Red Dwarf delivers a surprisingly emotional episode that once again proves Doug Naylor and the gang still have the ability to surprise...
Pete Dillon-Trenchard, Den Of Geek, 14th October 2016Red Dwarf XI Episode 4 review: Officer Rimmer
All in all, 'Officer Rimmer' is a fantastic character episode with some clever special effects, but its rather jarring ending means it isn't quite on the same level as last week's superlative 'Give and Take'.
Sophie Davies, Cult Box, 13th October 2016Red Dwarf XI, episode 4 - Officer Rimmer review
The Red Dwarf crew has faced many horrors: emotion-sucking GELFs, rogue simulants, despair squids, evil versions of themselves, and have even witnessed Winnie-the-Pooh being shot by firing squad, but this time they face possibly the worst horror of all: Rimmer with power.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 13th October 2016Red Dwarf XI episode 4 review: Officer Rimmer
Officer Rimmer is a hoot, an impressive technical feat and features some fantastically funny moments.
Pete Dillon-Trenchard, Den Of Geek, 7th October 2016Red Dwarf XI Episode 3 review
The third episode of Red Dwarf's latest season might be the best so far of the show's Dave era.
Sophie Davies, Cult Box, 7th October 2016Red Dwarf XI: episode 3, Give and Take review
It has to be said that this episode didn't seem as funny as last week's edition.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 6th October 2016Red Dwarf review: Samsara
Unfortunately, "Samsara" just wasn't very satisfying or amusing to me. I find it puzzling that Doug Naylor is churning out episodes this lukewarm, which have presumably been percolating in his mind for years. There was a good idea at the heart of this episode, suffering from how it was put across to the audience, and maybe a couple of amusing lines, but this was very forgettable.
Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 1st October 2016Red Dwarf stage show considered
Red Dwarf writer Doug Naylor has suggested that the sci-fi sitcom could have a live stage show spin-off that tours the country.
British Comedy Guide, 30th September 2016Red Dwarf XI episode 3 review: Give And Take
It can be difficult reviewing a show like Red Dwarf, because every episode is somebody's favourite. For all we know, Give And Take could end up being widely hailed as a modern classic. It's certainly not the worst episode of the show. But despite its impressive first act and some interesting sci-fi trappings, it's light on the laughs and feels a little harsh.
Pete Dillon-Trenchard, Den Of Geek, 30th September 2016Red Dwarf XI episode 2 review
The second episode of the long-running sci-fi sitcom's latest season doesn't quite live up to its premise.
