Red Dwarf - Series 5

Many peoples' favourite series, but perhaps when it started to get a bit too formulaic.

Certainly the series containing the best episode: Back To Reality.

Definitely my favourite series. Back to Reality was a great episode. I particularly like Timothy Spall's performance.

The Inquisitor is another great one.

My favourite series too, but I agree that it's also the point when it started repeating itself. Virtually every episode is a monster-of-the-week. But I love every episode. The comedy and sci-fi/drama elements were both strong at this point; neither were at their strongest, but this is when I think the best balance was struck.
