# series 2, episode 6
holly's opposite was hilly, who holly changed into because he loved her.

# You're right I think.
But I can't believe you didn't like Red Dwarf! Imo it just got better and better until the writers split up. Then of course it went straight down the toilet.

# ^This.
The quality graph goes slowly up through to six, then falls of a cliff.

# I liked the first series
but it quickly went off the rails for me.

I think it got a bit too egotistical

# The books are pretty good.
Worth a read, if you like that sort of thing.

Although like the series, the first (two) books are written by the gestalt entity known as 'Grant Naylor'. But they both wrote third books seperately. I think Rob Grant's "Backwards" is a lot better than Doug Naylor's "Last Human".

# Damn right
they forgot that the point of the whole thing was loneliness. It's a daft, but still relevant, metaphor for the human condition. As soon as they forgot about Lister being lonely then it all went to pot.

# Sort of.
When they went to a parallel Red Dwarf, Holly was 'Hilly', played by Hattie Hayridge. I think there was some sort of explanation when he changed to her that it was reflecting the obsession he formed on parallel RD.
