Product Description Amazon.com It was a long time coming, but finally the crew of the Red Dwarf were reunited for what could be the last time with Back to Earth. And it proved to be a bit of a mixed blessing, with all three parts throwing up moments of absolute genius, alongside parts where you couldn’t help believing that its best days are far behind it. The idea behind the show is quite ingenious. Back to Earth takes place after the supposed season 10 of Red Dwarf, and the crew find themselves thrown through a portal, at which time they realize that they’re all just characters from a TV show. Furthermore, they’re characters from a TV show who are going to all buy it in the final episode. The only solution? To track down both the actors that play them (including a trip to the set!), and the creators of Red Dwarf itself. This opens the door for plenty of postmodern gags and situations, but arguably it’s only when things get back into more familiar territory that they start to gel a little more. And when they work, you can’t help but enjoy the fact that the crew are back together. Will this be the last voyage for Red Dwarf? Quite possibly, and there’s little doubt that it’s far from the show’s peak. But it’s still a fun and entertaining send-off. --Jon Foster
“Red Dwarf: Back to Earth” picks up after the events of Series VIII with the crew of the mining ship Red Dwarf – Dave Lister (Craig Charles), Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), Cat (Danny John-Jules), and Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) – arriving back on Earth in the year 2009 only to find that they are characters on a show called “Red Dwarf.” The crew must track down their creators to beg for more life. Just as the original eight series found ways to examine existential issues through the veneer of sci-fi comedy, “Back to Earth” continues the tradition of smart writing and great character-driven comedy. Bonus features include cast and director commentary, a making-of documentary, deleted scenes, Smeg Ups, and more.
