I've only seen the first episode so far and I will agree that it hasn't changed. Guess what we don't smegging want it to! If you love seeing Lister being a slob, the Cat being... well himself, Rimmer being a complete smeg head and Kryten being his usual rebellious sycophant then you're in for a great ride.

The show has changed slightly, the graphics are a little better, the ship they visit almost looks like a 'real' sci fi ship. I personally loved the nod to Mac OS X's spinning beach balls of death, however the essence of the show in my opinion hits the magic of the earlier, classic Red Dwarf.

Having enjoyed 'Red Dwarf' when it first aired on the BBC I was a little unsure when I heard that another full series had been made... after all by the time the original BBC run finished it was feeling a little tired. Luckily the creators had returned to what made the original so good; namely the four main characters being alone on the Red Dwarf mining ship. As soon as it began it felt like it hadn't been away!

Rimmer once again has taken and failed his astro-navigation exam; he says he is prepared to fail and will be able to deal with that outcome; inevitably he has a melt down. Lister meanwhile is trying to by a coffee-stirrer from a TV channel... having first mocked such channels and the people that buy things from them. They then discover an abandoned ship the SS Trojan. While there they receive a Mayday from Rimmer's brother Howard... a captain in the prestigious Space Corps... or so he claims.

I was surprised at just how good this was; there were plenty of laugh out loud moments, my favourite being the recurring references to moose causing traffic accidents in Sweden. Lister's attempts to make his purchase by staying on the phone for most of the episode were pretty funny as was its conclusion... largely because the viewer could guess the outcome. I liked the twist involving Rimmer's brother real position in the Space Corps; I genuinely didn't see it coming. There are of course quite a few other really funny moments but I don't want to include too many spoilers.

If this episode is anything to go by we are in for another classic series of 'Red Dwarf'!

Was this supposed to be funny? I stumbled upon this by chance as I was zapping through channels and ended up passing DAVE, when this 1st episode (of how many?)of Red Dwarf Series 10 was about to start. I then remembered earlier announcements and decided to sit out the ride but already feared the worst, based on my opinion of Red Dwarf 9. Red Dwarf started ''difficult'' with series one, but then improved and peaked with series 6. Series 7 was mediocre, but series 8 with the nanobots' resurrection of ship and crew was in my opinion disastrous. Series 9 was smegging awful (if you can call 3 episodes a ''series'') and it looks like series 10 is following suit. The same old, same old ''jokes'' and encounters with clearly some modern and contemporary computer terminology input. Drained flanel actors as well. I didn't laugh at all, not even the ''having been put on hold to try to order an automatic stirrer'' sequence was funny. How can 50% of the IMDb-voters judge this 10 out of 10?

The last red dwarf had the entire crew resurrected then they abandon a destroyed ship. The where the hell has the new red dwarf come from? Why rimmer back as H and no computer to make the decision that lister will be more sane with him? Why does holly come and go? Why does no one shove rimmer out an air lock cos he's just an awfull person? Also season 9 was beyond terrible. But all the others, I have loved.
