Three Monkeys, Ten Minutes

I appear to have caught a virus of some sort - serves me right for going out and talking to people. Not really nasty, just annoying - for the last few days everything has just become a bit more of a struggle and my concentration is shot to pieces. So this week seemed a good time to work my way through my Red Dwarf collection. The only decision I had to make was what order to watch the series in because past experience shows that watching them in strict 1-8 order is not perhaps the best way to do it - it gets flat. So I came up with 5-7, 1-4, 8 as a screening order. It worked well with the very best episodes in the later stages of watching (excluding season 8 which is a bit of a special case).

I have also read Marianne de Pierres' Nylon Angel in my more lucid moments. Somehow I had expected that it would be rather lightweight. So much for expectation as it proved much more complex and gritty than I thought it would be. I can see why people have got into it in a big way.
