DOOM: Red Dwarf

[AtW]

It was Epic until the series where they went back in time and shot Kennedy. Then it became unwatchable - I have no idea if it improved from there. The books were tremendous though!

"Grant Naylor Productions made the first ten series of Red Dwarf, although Grant stepped down from writing after series six. Baby Cow made the last two series in association with the company, as well as The Promised Land special.

Kennedy was Series 7 Episode 1...

I rather enjoyed that.

Interesting. It is quite true that apparently awful things could result in unforeseen positives. Or vice versa.

Series 5 was the peak, I think, but I saw the Promised Land last year. It was quite enjoyable. Some critics thought it great, others panned it.

Promised Land was rather pants, script wise.

It's clear to me now from the time line of what happened that Grant was the driving creative force

Each to their own.

They lost me with "Back to Earth"... never really watched it since. I caught one or two episodes but it was almost like they'd cut'n'pasted jokes from earlier series ad-hoc, and lost any semblance of continuity or story. The original series actually had a half-decent story arc, considering how silly it all was.
