Red Dwarf Series 5 (1992)
Reviewed by Ryan
Certificate: 12
Starring: Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn, Hattie Hayridge
Genre: Comedy
Plot: Series 5 sees such as classics as: Holoship (where sex is a sport); The Inquisitor (where Kryten and Lister are judged unworthy of having lived); Terrorform (which took place in Rimmer's psyche); Quarantine (with Mr Flibble); Demons & Angels (featuring different versions of the ship and crew); and Back to Reality (featuring the suicide squid)
Favourite Bit: Here we go: Rimmer experiencing the joys of the ship's regulation recreation activity on board Holoship; Cat's justification of his existence in Inquisitor: "I have given pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass"; the handmaidens in Terrorform; the crew arguing over who should say "Launch scouter" in Quarantine; Lister being forced (under remote-control) to eat a live tarantula in Demons and Angels; and the halucinated car chase in Back to Reality
Least Favourite Bit: Can't think of any...
Anything of note? The Americans loved Terrorform, so the crew of Red Dwarf went out there to shoot a series...It flopped...
Rating: 5 out of 5
