Luvmunkey, I think you are going to have to tell them answer and accept the credit. I thought this was smegging well-travelled! Ah, well. Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast ...
The DVDs should be available in the US and you should get them. It's like Star Trek on drugs.
How many Red Dwarf DVDs have you got? It's just I know a lot of people struggled with the low budget series one. Series two was a marked improvement, but series three through to six at least are the absolute best. Kryten had only appeared in one episode in series two, but they changed the actor in series three, made him a regular with an American accent and called him "novelty condom head" from time to time!
By the way, remember I'm talking British here. Each series was only six episodes!
