  I thought X had a pretty good ending and things wrapped up nicely. Maybe XI will end with them getting back to Earth for good.

  I tried watching X but got bored. It's just not the same any more. Once Rimmer left and was replaced by Kochanski it was the end and should have let it go then.

  Series X was awesome. Recycled gags for sure, but it was still a really entertaining series.

  I was really surprised by X, for a comeback series it was brilliant.

  After Back To Earth I would have said no to another series, but Red Dwarf X was surprisingly good and went back to it's old roots. So I'd look forward to the new series.

  Teasers for tweets confuses me. Although not as much as a teaser trailer for a regular trailer. What is the ****ing point?

  Red Dwarf X was... blah. Not as woeful as BTE, no, but still just forgettable and rarely even mildly amusing, let alone genuinely funny.
  
  Really, the show's never been the same since Grant jumped ship (no pun intended). Series 7 had a couple of passable episodes when Naylor had aco-writer, but left to his own devices, he just doesn't seem like a very funny guy.
  
  I get why some people are still happy to see the show back, it's been riding a wave of nostalgia with every revival. But for me, Red Dwarf serves as a reminder that,when it comes to really great comedies, less is usually more.

  Smegging great news. Really enjoyed Red Dwarf X and would have been happy with one more series but two more is fantastic.

  Series 10 wasn't bad enough to think about scrapping it completely imo.
  
  It's still got some life left in it.

  At the same time, it wasn't really good enough to bother doing any more.

  Well Craig Charles has quit his secure job on Coronation Street to be in it, so let's hope that he's seen some scripts which have encouraged him to make that decision.

  Series X surprised me with its general return to the show of old, but the boys from the Dwarf were starting to look a bit like the latter years of Only Fools and Horses. Still, I keep my hopes up.
