Stacked with smeg and packed with laughs, Red Dwarf is one of the UK's best-loved sitcoms. This space-based show boasts a cult following, with a series revival introducing the chaos to the next generation. But which episodes are best? And which moments stand out? In this list, we're counting down the greatest instalments of this intergalactic comedy.

it's a.....it's a.... it's a small off duty Czechoslovakian traffic warden
It's a red and blue striped golfing umbrella
it's the Bolivian navy on manovers in the south pacific
It's.... a banana 😢
I have always loved this line. As a Czech, it gives me hope that us and Slovakia will unite again in the future :)
There are really too many classic episodes to restrict it to a list of ten.
Deevo037 Yeah, there really isn't any "bad" episodes in the entire show.
Junktheguild the newest series isnt great but is far from bad
back to earth is quite bad... Series 7 is quite week but not bad.
Deevo037 this would be better with less commentary and more from the crew.
Series 7, 8 and 9?
The first one that came to my head was "Justice". Such a brilliant episode and concept.
I agree, justice is an underrated episode. It’s generally considered upper midrange but I would say it is among the best. Kryten’s brutal character assassination of Rimmer for his court defence was hilarious, as was the fight between lister and the stimulant with the justice field turning all the attacks back on the perpetrator.
Yes
Polymorph for me, the sight of Kryten trying to remove Listers rapidly shrinking boxers while still wearing
the vacuum cleaner groinal attachment had me in tears.
Lol Yes, i laughed reading this comment when it reminded me of it :P
That has got to be the funniest moment in the entire series!
that scene I could always find my favourite! I'm surprised how the actors have tried not to laugh at the scene!
Erm, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? Erm, and I think it comes down to a choice between "The League Against Salivating Monsters" or, my own personal preference, which is "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society." Erm, one drawback with that -- the abbreviation is "CLITORIS."
What a smeghead.
The "defense" of Rimmer in Justice is surely worth a mention
Samsonite Dove Objection!
Overruled!
Anytime Rimmer has to defend himself is hilarious, making Justice and the Inquisitor amazing
“He is only guilty of being Arnold J Rimmer. This is his crime. It is also his punishment.” - a line I always quote to myself whenever I meet a complete smeghead in real life.
But..but..where is Me²? Rimmer vs rimmer! The gazpacho soup monologue alone should have made this list! It wasn't just a
great episode...it was SOUPER!
What an episode
A good list but I would of included Meltdown, I think that episode is so underrated. It has some great jokes, i.e Lister seeing Winnie the Pooh being executed, and it manages to get a message across about the futility of war.
MikeMJPMUNCH This is Staff Sergeant Mother Theresa, sir
What have they got against me, Derek and Titan?
He's refusing the blindfold. My favourite line from the Whole series. It's actually really subtle because your already reeling from the "It's Winnie the Pooh" line
And "daylight charge over the minefield"
Oops I've quoted Rimmerworld, which is also a great episode!
"Drop dead Rimmer."
"Already have done."
"Encore."
"Backwards" was the first episode I have ever seen and it got me hooked on the show at the age of 8. Aaaah, I love it. I got so emotional with the flashbacks in season 12! The old sleeping quarters, Holly, the jokes ("NOBODY IS DEAD, ARNOLD!")... I grew up on Red Dwarf and it willl always have a special place in my heart. Damn it, I am getting emotional here!
You'll bonk anything, won't you Lister? Cracks me up every time.
Haha, Fancy running in to you, it's Stephen's YTP's here. :)
Hey you smegger! :D
thats Craig Charles' favorite episode as well
fun is to go thru each transformation when the Polymorph sees itself
I always loved the episode where they meet kryton. that scene with the dead female crew is just some of the best comedy writing.
I love that bit where Rimmer says “They’re all dead” and Kryten replies, “Oh God! I was only away two minutes!”
That reveal of the 3 dead girls almost had me tinkling my pants, I laughed so hard. Still do after seeing it so many times, esp Lister saying to Rimmer, "The blonde one's giving you the eye!"
Smoke me a Kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.
What a guy.
Smoke me a kipper, can you do that?
Stoke me a clipper. I'll be back for Christmas
Smeg Me a Kipper (up middle finger)
Can't believe it's not in the top 5!?! 😬
'Thanks for the Memory', from series 2 has always been my favourite. Perfect balance of comedy and SF.
Quarantine was always my favorite.
I always swap between Quarantine and Back to Reality everytime I watch them. They're both brilliant
Cannot believe you overlooked "Psirens," "Demons and Angels," "Stoke me a Clipper," etc. etc, and not to even mention anything from the last season, which was brilliant. Maybe a part two is in order for this one?
Krysis, Give and Take and Twentica and very underrated from the last series! I personally believe that Meltdown is the most underrated RD episode of them all though, followed by Demons and Angels and Blue.
AH! "Demons and Angels" is a great choice. Rimmer's line almost killed me: "I'm going to whip you to within an inch of your life, and then I'm going to have you."
@@katherynemero9355 honest to god I think Demons and Angels was a fair few peoples’ rude awakening to kinks they never knew they had lmao
I'd love a Red Dwarf video game made in the style of Telltale Games.
Hopefully not made by Telltale themselves cause they've been sucking hard recently lol
I'm from the future! They've gone bust.
@@RobRandomVids I'm from the further future. They're bringing back the wolf among us
@@thomasalexanian927 i am from the future future's future. I come from the time period where a sequel to the wolf among us is made by Naughty Dog. From hereon out things may get a little bit confusing.
Even better would be a Red Dwarf game in the style of Mass Effect. Holy shit that would be a good game!
for some reason I always remember the "Camilla" episode - an alien organism who's sole purpose was to please and pleasure it's master... which included changing it's shape into the perfect form that it's 'master' wanted it to be. So Lister got Kristina Konchowski (sp), Kryten got a femmebot and Cat got a mirror image of himself ("somebody fetch me a brandy!")
Camille was my 1st, still 1 of my faves
Rimmer world!? Anyone?
Careful, not to say that your tragically about to be locked away by your own clones! Lol
I'm saying nothing man, don't want to spoil the surprise
“It’s too hideous to contemplate “
I thought of that
@@synaesthesia2010 Rimmerworld was weeks agp. We are currently discussing the most terrible thing thats happened to Lister.
I thought the JFK episode would be on here
Jeff Kay?
Erm... I was quoting Lister from that episode. He said something like 'Dallas, isn't that where that American King got assassinated' then Rimmer said 'JFK', then Lister said 'No it was John something not Jeff Kay'
he was named after an airport?
Dibab Series 7 was very poor.
DeaconTaylor Rimmer's fustration "the airport was named after him" 😂
Back to Reality was the first Red Dwarf I ever saw. I was high and it really freaked me out. I fell in love with the show!!!
Rimmerworld should be on this list. It has so many unbelievably good lines to be excluded.
Cat: "All in all 100% successful trip."
Kryten: "But sir we lost Mr. Rimmer!"
Cat: "All in all 100% successful trip!"
Quarantine is always going to be number one.
Hmmm... I don't know about number one, but they should have at least put it on here somewhere.
What are we going to do with them, Mr Fibble?
*gasp!* We can't possibly do that! Who'd clear up the mess?
Robert B it’s at number 2
Don't want to be that guy but..
THIS HITS DIFFERENT
In all seriousness though, I LOVE that episode!
My all time favourtie comedy show! Fan-smegging-tastic!
I suggest we hit this list with a major leaflet campaign
Top series and a good list. My favourite is Pete where they turn a budgie into a T-Rex on board Red Dwarf. Proper funny.
check out the out-takes from that ep if you haven't already. the bit when petes owner takes a mouthful of slime made me cry with laughter
WE'RE FINISHED
I’m supposed Pete is your favorite! According to a poll, Pete part 1 and 2 are the lowest rated episodes. Not to say you can’t like them, of course.
I agree, the basketball match against the prison guards was hilarious and don't forget the potato virus scene lol
@the crazy deaf girl thats a no then is it
Good to see these are all series 1-6, the only ones that count!
Marooned is my favourite episode. Just shows that just good writing and acting can make an amazing episode. It's not all about action and visual effects.
I loved every single episode featured. But for my money I'd also add Series 1's "Me Squared" and Series 2's "Parallel Universe" to the honourable mentions as well. Seeing Rimmer tee off with Rimmer in both of those episodes was a lot of fun
“Body Swap” is my personal favorite in part b/c it allows the actor who plays Rimmer to show off his acting skills.
Chris pulls off an amazing performance. He was on the border of playing a better Dave Lister than Craig Charles. I had to close my eyes to realize that the they were dubbing each other’s lines. Just Brilliant!
My favourite has always been "Future Echoes".
Same here, so classic and timeless.
My top 10 (an American who has watched from the first season)
1. Better than life2. Dimension jump3. The End4. Confidence and paranoia5. Kryten6. Thanks for the memory (egg sandwich is killer......)7. Stoke me a kipper8. Waiting for god9. Timeslides10. Epederm
Keep em coming!!!!
1. Future Echoes
2. Queeg
3. Balance of Power
4. Holoship
5. Justice
6. The End
7. Camille
8. Better than Life
9. Emohawk
10. Legion.
Holoship's criminally underrated. It has so many LOL moments.
Surprised 'Legion' was only an honourable mention. It might be my favourite episode.
"QUARENTINE" is my favorite episode. So good. My favorite Rimmer moments are in this episode.
One of my favourite episodes is DNA. In this episode, the crew discover a mysterious uninhabited pod with what turns out to be a machine to modify the DNA of anything (it turns Lister into a chicken, then a hamster before turning him back into a human, then it turns Kryten into a human as well). The moment that leaves me in stitches is where the human Kryten hands Lister a pair of Polaroid pictures:
"Take a look at this...and this,"
Lister's face goes from confused to shocked.
"Now how do you suppose that happened?"
"W-what were you thinking of at the time??"
"Nothing in particular, I was just looking at an electrical appliance catalogue. One moment I was looking at vacuum cleaners and suddenly my underpants elastic was catapulted across the medical bay!"
😂😂😂
Later, Holly inadvertently turned Lister's Mutton Vindaloo into a Vindaloo smelling, virtually indestructible monster...or is it? After turning Lister into a half robocop, half human midget, he discovered that lager can kill it
Nice list and good to see it stuck to the classics. Anything after series 6 is a bit shit. Basically when it stopped being co written by Grant Naylor.
Grant Battersby I agree but always surprised there’s actually a few good episodes in both and often better than I thought when I watch them. Just, different. For me series 10 is as good as any, though. Not quite as clever though, but as hilarious. I absolutely love it. 11 was average, and 12 was decent pretty funny again, in my opinion!
Stopped being funny without Rimmer
Talkie Toaster was on an episode before White Hole, that’s why he had to be rebuilt
My favourite episode has to be blue where lister has a dream where he kisses rimmer wakes up then goes bonkers that cracked me up xD
Loved Back To Reality from the moment I saw it. In fact, series five is a brilliant mix of humour and dark moments.
“Backwards” or “Gunmen of the Apocalypse” have to be the best for me
I live in the US and I got lucky enough to stumble onto this show. It's a damn masterpiece.
How could ‘dimension jump’ not make this list, our introduction to ace rimmer come on its one of the best
Ikr, especially when he says "Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast"
My Top 10 Episodes Would Honestly Be
10 Back In The Red (All Parts)
9 Queeg
8 Psirens
7 Rimmer World
6 Backwards
5 Kryten
4 Camille
3 Krytie TV
2 Meltdown - Can't believe so many fans dislike this episode the whole idea of the historical people at war is brilliant. The elvis marching scene has me in tears every time !!
1 Terrorform - The whole opening scenes with Kryten in the wreckage and the taranshula (tarantula) was just too hilarious !!
Also want to mention in series 8, "Have a Fantastic Period" is an unforgettable moment, comedy gold !!
I Personally found Back To Reality one of my least favourite episodes but just my opinion
I'm now gonna go stare at a cracked floor tile !!
Seen these so many times !brilliant rewatchable genius of a show !
I think 'Legion' solely for the banquet scene!
Red Dwarf is one of my favourite shows
Red Dwarf is easily my favorite British TV show .
Good list, glad better than life, back to reality, legion and gunmen of the apocalypse we're mentioned. Some other great episodes off the top of my head are meltdown, polymorph, rimmerworld, holoship and dimension jump.
I’d say pretty much nailed it as far as a subjective list goes. These episodes were funny but also clever and good quality throughout, not just funny. Most are all my favs but definitely many others of the same calibre that missed out! Many mentioned in the comments :) What a show....
I'd have gone for 'Holoship' as it really gives more depth to Rimmer also the more recent 'The Beginning' that also humanises Captain Alphabet Head somewhat.
I also really liked 'Twentica' but would have liked to have seen more of that world. "Confidence and Paranoia' is a great early one, plus Craig Fergusson acting.
My personal favourite quick scene is from Quarantine when they find the viral warning signs.
" There is no need for alarm, sir. If there were any dangerous viral strains in the atmosphere, the Psi-scan would have picked them up by now... _(Looks at the device, waits, hits it on the side and then shakes it)_ It's never done that before... Stupid cheap damn stupid Martian power packs."
"Ah. Now here are the results. Yep. And we're going to...
...live."
Top #1 for me? Probably White hole, it has just about everything. Classic gags like Rimmer and Kryten arguing using directives (Hologram must sacrifice himself in order to make it passible for the living crew members X no chance you metal bastard), Lister and Cat trying to fry an egg using bicycle and ofc the legendary time loop. Everything finishes with Lister playing pool with planets and Kryten being 100% honest with Rimmer at the end is just priceless :D
Marooned is number 1 for me. When they focus on bleakness and relationships, the writing is as good as in any sitcom. Rimmer used to be a terrific character. Now all he does is pull stupid faces.
same... and that golf course thing cracked me up.
Kryten, get the hacksaw and follow me....
It's a good episode, but it's just not the same without the rest of the crew (I know they come at the end).
big? its like two badly parked volkswaggens
This list is so crypto fascist
OOOOOOOOMMMMMMM
I love this show. It will never not be loved by me.
Unlike the Office, you can't make a US version of this. This is just UK brilliance.
"Tikka To Ride" should've at least got Honorable Mention! The conversation between Lister and JFK is great.
Craig Charles was the guest of honor at the first Anglicon (Seattle) that I went to. Poor guy had the US version of Monteczuma's revenge. He was a real trooper during a panel, but immediately had to excuse himself to go back to his room. Dude was white as a sheet, poor guy. Quite the gentleman, too.
One of my biggest flexes is that I've met many people, but none were as cool as when I met Chris Barrie
Trojan with the Moose gag was one of my absolute favourite, but Lemons (where the crew find Jesus) will always take the top spot in my heart. Series 10 was strong!
Good list..could easily add another 10 to the list 💫
The books are even funnier, especially the first two.
series three will always be a my favourite and polymorph will always be my favourite episode
I've waited too long for this video
My favourite episodes include Polymorph, Quarantine (always makes me laugh 😂), Confidence & Paranoia, Queeg, DNA... So many funny lines in each one.
Thank goodness you chose all the ones from series 1 to 6!!! However, Inquisitor is better than No 8, and Dimension Jump should have been in there, but doesn't even get an honourable mention.
Loved the list so hard to choose a top ten as so many good episodes. I would have tikka to ride and any episode with kill crazy! LET'S GO KILL SOMETHING, YEAAAAAAA!!!!
I think you have it right for the number one spot, that’s a great episode. I like white hole and all the time travel ones actually. I really liked tikka to ride too, i felt that was a clever episode. Timeslides was awesome too
Marooned the guitar absolutely brilliant acting couldn't stop laughing when I first watched it 😀👍
Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas.
Back to Reality is my Favourite too! Psirens is a good one as well.
Psirens is probably my favourite episode, absolutely hilarious start to finish
'Abandon shop Abandon shop this is not a daffodil this is not a daffodil'- holly the hologram
the alphabetti spaghetti line cracks me up
5. "Back To Reality"
This episode is all the rave among fans, and the plot could have easily have been used n a Star Trek episode. The set design underwater has a wonderfully tense feel it and the whole underwater scene is beautifully directed. Although there was meant to be an appearance of the despear squid, its absence on screen makes it all the more sinister. Timothy Spall makes a swell impact in the short time, he has as a guest star. Each character not only has a shining moment, but their alter-background stories are very sound and structured, which adds intricacy to the plot. The second half towards the end is thrilling and wonderfully nail-biting. If the series were to end, then this episode would be the one to end it.
4. "Samsara"
Agatha Christie meets Scooby-doo and his gang in this somewhat murder mystery. Plenty of clues dotted out here and there, getting more obvious as the story plays out. The Karma-drive may have been underused, but still has a beautifully sinister presence. The flashback sequences are said to be more informative than funny, but for my part, not everything is funny, and sometimes, you just have to take information on board. The dividing scenes between both teams of the Red Dwarf boys is a neat treat. And the ending reveal is nicely explained both verbally and visually.
3. "Backwards"
Sometimes, in Sci-fi, the effects tend to wither and age, but that is not the case with this episode. The effects NEVER grow old. The gags remain fabulously absurd to this day and the visual and verbal gags still have the same impact. Easily the best and most satisfying series opener of the whole series.
2. "Twentica"
A very interactive nice break from the familiar sets with the exception of the Starbug and an exhilerating opener right from the start. Very few times have the boys from the dwarf interacted with a large group of other life forms (whether they'd be human or otherwise) This is a favorite example of mine. The Expinoids are quite clearly a comical mimic of the Star Trek Borgs. The idea of an Earth set back technology-wise and the prohibition is an extraordinary concept. The Lady Be Good club secret is a nice surprise from what you expect when the word prohibition is mentioned. The defeat of the formally mention droids is played cool with a slight touch of flash, bang wallop. The Red Dwarf team all play a part in this episode.
For me, not since the episode - "Backwards" has there been such a satisfying series opener.
1. "Lemons"
A story, which has the makings of a Douglas Adams novel. Bristling with a blend of ideas, from the Swedish shower unit to the meeting of "Jesus". One of the key attractions of this episode is the early Doctor Who element, in which the team teaches the viewers about history and science, even though some of it may not be entirely accurate, it is still entertaining to watch and listen to. The set and extra cast are of a grand scale. The diner scene between the Red Dwarf boys is like a cozy bar conversation between a group of pub mates and entertainment to watch. James Baxter is a welcome guest actor as the center character in question. The moment or the past coming back to haunt the Cat is hilarious. The revelation near the is too amusing for words and the final minute accumulates what I would say comes outburst of laughter right at the very end.
Im honestly surprised not to see "tikka To Ride" on this list!
Lister: "what are all those people doing gathered around that giant pizza?" Kryten: "That is NOT a giant pizza!" Lister" it's 8 foot across man, thats giant ! " Cat: I" think we just pulled the gunman out the window!"
Back to earth in thumb nail .... don’t you dare.... oh you didn’t phew
My first episode and the one that I love the most:Gunman of the apocalypse. I remember watching that and every time it would go off, I would put it back on. Blue was next as well.
Well done for not including anything past season 6, was ready for rioting if you did.
They did have Krytie TV in the honourables, which was from series 8. Please feel free to engage in some mildly disruptive behaviour if it helps ;)
i remember that episode being utter balls. Don't know how that's an honourable mention
You remember correctly, Dolbro Dan. The whole of Series 8 was poor and that episode was a slap in the face to the development of every single one of the main characters.
Krytie TV was 8 dude, just sayin
what about some ace rimmer
Loved it! Good job!I Now I need to get them off the shelf and binge watch!
So many great episodes... but "Dimension Jump" was my favourite.
I just Rewatched backwards yesterday xD
And quarantine
Did you rewatch it forwards?
WatchMojoUK No but now i have too xD
WatchMojoUK You can on the DVD.
Dx !edosipe taerg a s'tI
I think Queeg has to be my all time favorite. Just really sums up the jist of the show, at least at the time.
Petey.
A dead parakeet morphing into a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
can't see anyone in the comments mentioning Duct Soup from VII, one of the all time classics
“Wax World” always cracked me up. I loved watching Rimmer berate wax Ghandi.
Elvis is just perfext
"Tallky Toaster" was first in Season 2's Future Echos!
The guy narrating here even sounds a little bit like RImmer, but with a touch of Lister's accent.
I am sorry but the best episode is Meltdown. To not have it on the list is a crime, watch it for the first time and it is why Rimmer is my fave character on the show.
I love in series one when lister finds out he is the god of cats
the virtual western episode kind of reminds me of a Star trek episode set in a strange western enviroment.
I feel like Psirens belonged as at least an honourable mention
No Holoship?
I'd just like to say that, over the years, I've come to consider you all to be... people I... met.
Where's ace rimmer? No smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast???
" let's get out there and twat it"
The talking toaster was there pretty much from the start. In the first few episodes, if not the first.
Hope there's a few episodes from the new series on here, I know people say the originals are always better but the new ones are pretty damn good.
I do think there's a lot of episodes from all the series that could make this list, but, I cannot choose.
Happy 30th Anniversary, Red Dwarf.
