Red Dwarf - Just The Shows Vol. 1 (DVD 2004)

I bought this DVD using the 'Buy it now' option. Item was described as an authentic disk. I was then emailed by the seller, advising me that "the item was actually 'backup copies' of the original disk, without artwork, in clear plastic sleaves, but quality as good as an original!". I requested and received a full refund, as I refuse to pay £15 for some copied disks!

I love red dwarf and this box set gives me the ability to watch hours of it at once!!!!
Before buying I noticed that there were some bad reviews. If you are worried about these have a read, The only 2 bad reviews are from people complaining about problems they have had with a seller on ebay. Not necessairy to give the Red Dwarf box set a bad review, it is amazing (if a little dated but thats all part of the charm)

i love these shows been a fan since they first came out.
i think it,s because there cheesey,the characters are just right for the show,and the lines and visual jokes are bang on...better smeg than dead

The fact you are reading reviews of Red Dwarf would suggest you've probably already made you're mind up to buy it, if you haven't, what are you waiting for?. This is the funniest british show since Delboy and Rodney were on our screens, own it and enjoy anytime you like! 100% brilliant!

What is there not like about Red Dwarf?
Its a laugh a minute as Lister (Craig Charles) and the boys saunter through space getting into mishaps and generally abusing each other at every given opportunity.
If you like serious, well made sci-fi films with loads of special effects then this dvd probably isn't for you but if you enjoy fart jokes, ridiculous story lines and general nonsense then you'll love this as there's laughs a plenty to be had.

have not recieved DVD or got my money back so can't give a opinion i have sent emails & been fobbed of with dreans of refund

This DVD contains all 24 episodes of the first 4 series of Red Dwarf, a random UK sit-com based 3 million years in the future in outer space. I first encountered this show years ago on very late night TV and this DVD set allows me to re-live the adventures of the Red Dwarf crew at times that now suit me. There's 12 hours of shows, so it's a relief that there is no bonus material. It's what is says on the box, 'Just the Shows'. Awesome.

One of the funniest shows on tv will watch them and then send them to my son in South Africa , as he is a fan of Red Dwarf

simply brilliant, the popular british tv-series red dwarf gets better every time i watch it, and thats no exaggeration.

This item is perfect for fans of the series and british comedy lovers alike, deffinetly one to watch

One of the best, if not the best, British comedy. There will never be another sitcom like it, with it's original and vulgar humour and it's diverse mix of characters- who would of thought a comedy about a scouser, a hologram, a descendant from a cat, a droid and an onboard computer (with the supposed IQ of 6000) would work so well. Trying to buy the second volume of shows now!

I brought this DVD as i was a huge fan of the shows as a child. I just find the whole 8 series so funny. Anybody who likes a cult comedy would definitely like the red dwarf series.

superb series,servis from the seller exellent,ebay very good as one would expect.what more could one say.keep up the good work allround.
