Loved the first 3 or 4 series and the books were excellent, even when Grant and Naylor split to write separate finales. Found the later series to be a bit silly. Haven't watched them in years

When Rob Grant left, the comedy did as well. Although Doug Naylor's son has since taken over a lot of the burdon, so there's been a slight return to form over the last few years. Doug Naylor wanting to turn Red Dwarf into a sci fi epic, adding female characters, losing the studio audience and doing a monster of the week gimmick sucked the life out of it.

That explains the narrative of the Last Human which I thought was an excellent book if not in keeping with the usual RD style
 
Enjoyed it. Half a dozen big daft laughs in there.

All we were missing was Ace Rimmer.

But we got Diamond Light Rimmer
I always wanted them to produce more books, the 4 they did were all really good reads. (Well they were back in the day)
Just found this, getting it orderd now.

That was a 6 part radio 4 series last year.

There's also Colony, which was decent, and Incompetence, which I've just ordered off Amazon.

I think it was filmed and shown to a live audience, sometimes the actors don't respond to the laughs. Like series VII.
