Boyz from the Dwarf!!!
This is an ideal place to start if you're interested in becoming a member of the crew. I would suggest getting the DVD instead. If you don't have a DVD player yet this series is a good enough reason as any to make that happen.
Despite the series still being in it's infancy and the set still stuck in "low-budget mode" this tape has a lot to offer in the way of comedy where the first tape of the series merely sets up the characters.
The first episode is "Confidence & Paranoia" - which features a virus that takes on physical form in the projection of Dave Lister's Confidence and Paranoia. There are some very funny moments in the episode.
The second episode is "Waiting for God" - a very entertaining look into the workings of religious dogma and the various reasons things may come about the way they do. This episode gives us a great look into the origin of Cat and spends time developing the character. We also find out why he's so dumb. His father "ate his own feet" and Cat merely responds with "Well... I did wonder."
The third episode is "Me2" - this is quite a treasure for all you out there who get a kick out of Rimmer. You'll be in good company as Rimmer (a hologram) tricks Lister into projecting a duplicate hologram of himself. At first it works out for Rimmer but eventually only leaves this world class narcissist hating himself in the end. Some of the antics between the two Rimmers are quite hilarious.

Red Dwarf continues to get better.
This tape features the final 3 episodes of the first series of Red Dwarf. While many of the plots of the first 3 episodes were constructed to establish character traits and things like that, the final 3 episodes are much better.
"Confidence & Paranoia" - Lister gets a virus that causes his Confidence and Paranoia to take on human form. The guy who plays his Cinfidence is great, and shows you what Brits think all Americans act like.
"Waiting for God" - I didn't like this one as much as the other 2 episodes, mainly because it was very Cat oriented. I Cat as a character, but he didn't start to get truly funny for another series or two. I like how the Cats worship "Cloister" though.
"Me2" - There are now 2 Rimmer's on board, and they end up hating eachother (naturally).

Great!
I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because it's not DVD. However, if you are a Red Dwarf fan, it's a must buy.
