Boom! The starbug exploded. Then the words "To be continued" showed on the screen. This is how series 6 left the Red Dwarf franchise and two years on from that the series 7 was aired.
After problems with the Grant/Naylor break up and Chris Barrie wanting out, many people feared that their wouldn't be a series 7, but there was and it was great. With 8 episodes instead of the usual 6, series 7 included some of Red Dwarf's best work. The storylines and humor was pretty spot on, with the re-introduction of Kochanski (which turned a few male heads) bringing a new edge to the genre.
There's only one real problem and that is why it's got a good instead of an Excellent. The only problem with it is that in some cases it can be a comedy drama instead of a sit-com. Instead of a "blow after blow" of jokes it also focuses on the storyline side more which sort of takes off the familiar effect of jokes and gags. Though the shows are still very entertaining, maybe it's because of the friendship break up but it doesn't seem to have the seem effect that the other series had.
Don't get me wrong: this is a great series and if your a fan of the Dwarf boys you've got a real treat in store, but it just isn't "as" good as the other series in my opinion. But what the smeg, it's Red Dwarf!!!
