Top 10 moments of Red Dwarf X

Digital channel Dave selects its Top 10 moments from Red Dwarf X.

It's one of those magic Red Dwarf moments that punctures the technobabble bubble of science fiction: the boys are under attack, the computers are down and the scanners aren't working. As Lister frets about not knowing what his pursuers are or where they're coming from, Kryten has a novel idea - "How about we look out of the window?" he suggests.

With this last episode chock-full of such zingers and ratings for this tenth series consistently topping one million, let's hope we get some further adventures soon.

Rebecca Blackstone (aka Pree) has good old chinwag with our residant man of mystery Ben Shires about what it's like to be a computer.

Time to bid a fond farewell to the Red Dwarf crew again as their well-received comeback concludes. It doesn't quite end with a bang but it does have several big explosions as the boredom of deep space gets the gang into trouble with the deadly Simulants. It's up to Rimmer to save the day. A holographic message from his overbearing father gives him newfound inner strength in a very unexpected way as the shameful truth about his lineage is finally revealed.

Red Dwarf X: Dear Dave review

This wasn't a particularly good episode, but it had more individual moments of amusement than previous half-hours this year.

Red Dwarf is always at its finest when it jettisons the sci-fi plots and concentrates on Lister's sense of loneliness. Tonight, it's got so bad that he now has two rival talking dispensing machines vying for his affections. So not only is he the last human being alive, but he's also getting TLC from the units that provide his hot beverages. But if Lister's not tipped over the edge by his ever-narrowing romantic options, maybe Cat's attempt at charades will do the trick. It's both excruciating and hilarious.
