Irish is right, the show definitely had some inconsistently low points. There'd be classic episodes such as Confidence and Paranoia in which the slobbish Lister would see his Confidence and Paranoia personified by a hyper-powerful virus (Confidence being represented by a smooth speaking talk show host and Paranoia by a dreary accountant) and there'd be some incredibly unfunny and even crude moments such as when Lister fights the curry monster with a dousing of lager. It averages as a pretty good show but be prepared for some stinkers, especially in series 3 and 4.
