Rule: has to be under 5 mins.
I will start.

I couldn't face it for years because I associated it with an ex who I used to enjoy it with, but I've taken back ownership of it.
Think my favourite line comes from when Lister emerges from stasis and Holly says something along the lines of, "Well they're no use to you now - not unless you want something to grip the path with."
Biggest laugh is probably the vending machine/self-destruct scene in series III.

I'm in the process of watching them again with my mother and she has a hard time enjoying much after "Parallel Universe." I could think of dozens of fantastic scenes that just involve Rimmer and Lister in their sleeping quarters and that was the show at its best for me personally. Series 3 was decent but they seemed to spend less time on the ship after that and I didn't think the interactions were as witty as before. My favourite episodes are "Future Echoes" "Balance of Power" "Me2" "Better than Life" "Thanks for the Memory" and "Stasis Leak."

Also it was good that they gave all 4 characters a chance to shine. As much as I like the first two series, its true that so much of it is wasted. Most stories could be transferred to another setting, and the Cat isn't even a character. He just flits in and out.

Again its all just taste I suppose. I do love Kryten and Rimmers relationship. Its very like Dr Smith and the Robot from Lost in Space.
