Give the series a chance?! It's a six episode series for Dave featuring a writer and actors who've worked together for 20 years and made a gazillion episodes, including 3 episodes of Back To Earth just the other year. How many bloomin' chances do these people get?
Remember Croft and Perry? Remember how they didn't move their humour with the times? How they were unable to evolve their craft to the changing tastes of comedy? This is the vibe I'm getting with RDX. We did give the series a chance, it was called the first episode and though it wasn't brilliant, we let it slide thinking great things were coming and they were just warming up.
If it turns out that last night's episode is just a blip, a bump in the road, I'll quite happily eat my fake Lister dreads, but at this moment in time, confidence is low.
Perhaps Red Dwarf X should be renamed 'Comedy Dinosaurs on a Space Ship'.
