Red Dwarf: Series X Episode 6 review

It's the final episode of the resurrected Red Dwarf, with a few unexpected visits and one or two flashbacks to Rimmer's somewhat embarrassing past bringing this refreshingly upbeat and surprisingly strong series to an end.

Amy Taylor, Cult Box, 10th November 2012

The last episode of the buffed and polished tenth series. BBC bosses must be wondering which buffoon decided that they didn't want another series, because the latest outing has been the sci-fi comedy's finest since its early '90s pomp. Smegging ace.

Top 10 moments of Red Dwarf X

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

UKTV, 9th November 2012

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.

Video: Pree talks to Dave

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.

UKTV, 6th November 2012

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.
