Editorial Review of Red Dwarf VIII: The Official Book
Red Dwarf, the BBC'S cult TV classic, celebrated its tenth anniversary in 1999 with the transmission of Series VIII. With its charismatic cast and superbly written scripts, Red Dwarf gelled from the very first series, becoming a favorite not just with sci-fi, but also comedy fans all over the world. One of the BBC's most phenomenal exports, and Emmy and British Comedy Award winner, it attracts more audience response than any British show since Monty Python's Flying Circus on America's PBS Network, and has fan clubs in fourteen different countries. Illustrated in full color throughout with many never-before-seen photographs, storyboards and sketches, Red Dwarf VIII is the official fans companion to not just the last series, but also to the world of Red Dwarf, featuring all eight scripts, including scenes cut from final transmission, each introduced and annotated by co-creator and writer Doug Naylor. To give fans a genuine insight into the making of the show, Doug also talks for the first time in great detail about the creation of Series VIII in an extensive, overall introduction to the book. This lavish, official tie-in to the eighth series of Britain's television cult of the decade, competitively priced at $19.95, will be a must-have for Red Dwarf fans everywhere keen to get behind the scenes of their favorite show.

Review Summary: great edition to fans (and non fans) of the classic show
Review: although under ground red dwarf groups put season 8 at the low end of the list the book is a hit since it is memorobila
some have come to like red dwarf because of season 8 others come to love season 8 because of this book
it is well worth the pounds or dollers you will pay

Review Summary: One classy book!
Review: This gorgeous Red Dwarf companion may seem a bit pricey, but no smeghead should be without it. It contains LOTS of extra material from the smash hit series 8, and is full of beautiful cast and CGI pictures. Best of all, each script is introduced by the king of smeg himself- Doug Naylor! Some of the behind the scenes stories are utterly hilarious(anyone who's read 'Rubber Mask' will know what I'm talking about!). Mr Naylor also shares with us smeggies the troubles Red Dwarf went through in the three years between series 6 and 7. This man has my undying respect and gratitude- and Red Dwarf will never die!

Review Summary: The MUST BUY Red Dwarf Book
Review: This book is THE Red Dwarf to buy. You may have seen several novels, quizbooks and other largish coffee table-type books concerning Red Dwarf at your local bookshop, but there is no other one quite so good as this: particularly for a fan who doesn't want to get bogged down in endless books.

Review Summary: The intro alone is worth the $17.
Review: This is a large size hardcover book mostly consisting of the scripts to the 8 episodes in series 8. The scripts include original lines that were dropped from the show, many wonderful photos, and best of all, some introduction by Doug Naylor. If you are a fan of the show, this will probably make milk come out of your nose (if you happen to be drinking any.) If you are not a fan of the show and someone just reads a passage to you, you will probably still laugh out loud. Naylor explains why Red Dwarf 8 was almost never made, why Kochanski was introduced. (There WAS a reason! ) It is well worth the money, just for the beginning. A must own for fans, even if they aren't collectors, simply for the beginning.

Review Summary: Great for RD fans!
Review: Excellent coffee table-style book with some great pictures from series VIII and interesting behind-the-scenes stories from Doug Naylor. A great gift for the Red Dwarf-deprived U.S. fan!

The content is first rate. Each script contains many sections which were (unfortunately) obliterated from the final shows and almost every scene is accompanied by a full colour photo - there are literally hundreds of them. The comments and anecdotes by Doug only serve to improve an already damn fine book, and allow it to be classed not only as a scriptbook, but also as a series companion and a 'behind the scenes' book, too.
Every fan should have a copy - get one now!
