Camille is quite hilarious and highly recommended. It's a knock-off of Casablanca as only the boys from the dwarf could do!

I am a huge fan of Red Dwarf and bought the entire set in one purchase after seeing a few random episodes on PBS. One of the episodes I saw on PBS was "Camille," and I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen at the time. Upon watching the rest of the episodes, I would have to say that this is actually one of the weaker tapes overall. That is not to say that it is not worth buying, though, because it certainly is.
"Camille" is basically the Dwarfers take on Casablanca, with fewer laughs than most episodes. The second episode is "DNA", in which the crew finds a device that can rewrite DNA to turn anything into anything else. They accidentally make a giant curry-monster. Pretty funny, but I never really got into the curry humor in Red Dwarf. The final episode is "Justice", in which the gang visits Justice World, and Rimmer is sentenced to quite few years of imprisonment.
Again, there is nothing specifically bad about these episodes that I can point out, but there just aren't as many laughs as in the other episodes. Still well worth buying, though.

As with all Red Dwarf titles, this video can be watched for hours on end without bordom being a problem. Kryten, lister, Rimmer and 'The Cat' will have you laughing incontrollably. Series 4 is one of the best series of the 8 Red Dwarf series, so go ahead and get this brilliant video!
