"It might be hard to believe, but today (February 15, 2013) marks the 25th anniversary of Red Dwarf - Lister (Craig Charles), Rimmer (Chris Barrie) and Cat (Danny John-Jules) have lit up our screens, on and off, for a quarter of a century and late arrival Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) isn&amp;#039;t far behind his shipmates! So now seems like a good time to pay tribute to the good ship Red Dwarf and its crew - this week&amp;#039;s Friday Fiver lists our picks for the sci-fi sitcom&amp;#039;s best ever outings, so take a look at our list and then let us know which episodes from the show&amp;#039;s long run number among your own favourites...  &amp;#039;Camille&amp;#039; - Series IV, Episode 1 - First aired February 14, 1991 There are plenty of larks to be hard in this early Dwarf ep as each of the crew becomes smitten with Camille - apparently everyone&amp;#039;s ideal woman, but actually a slimy, tentacled blob able to assume the visage of your greatest desire. But the reason that &amp;#039;Camille&amp;#039; earns a spot on this list is because of its focus on Kryten and Lister&amp;#039;s friendship - when the latter&amp;#039;s lessons in lying, cheating and all-round rebellion result in him being affectionately labelled &amp;quot;a total smeg-head&amp;quot; by his pal, it&amp;#039;s a wonderful moment.      &amp;#039;Back to Reality&amp;#039; - Series V, Episode 6 - First aired March 26, 1992 This mind-bending gem sees the Red Dwarf gang attacked by a creature known as the Despair Squid. Experiencing a group hallucination, the foursome come to believe that their space-faring life was all just a game and that the reality is rather more grim: eternal rebel Lister is a cruel fascist, try-hard Rimmer is a dismal hobo and the Cat... he&amp;#039;s dorky Duane Dibbley. Hilarious (&amp;quot;Bullet - Cybernautics.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s traffic control!&amp;quot;) but also thought-provoking, &amp;#039;Back to Reality&amp;#039; is arguably the show&amp;#039;s finest hour.      &amp;#039;Gunmen of the Apocalypse&amp;#039; - Series VI, Episode 3 - First aired October 21, 1993 When Kryten is infected by a computer virus, the Dwarfers have to enter an artificial reality Wild West video game. The end result - comedy gold, as Lister becomes Brett Riverbolt, knife man, Rimmer is transformed into bare-fist brawler &amp;#039;Dangerous&amp;#039; Dan McGrew and Cat takes on the role of the Riviera Kid, a marksman so expert he can shoot damn bullets out of the air. Big laughs and a neat sci-fi notion combine to make this one of Red Dwarf&amp;#039;s best ever episodes.      &amp;#039;Emohawk: Polymorph II&amp;#039; - Series VI, Episode 4 - First aired October 28, 1993 Following their Wild West adventure, our boys were reunited with an old &amp;#039;friend&amp;#039; in this sequel to series three&amp;#039;s also-excellent &amp;#039;Polymorph&amp;#039; - we were torn between that episode and this follow-up for inclusion here, but while there&amp;#039;s fun to be had watching a fearless Lister gracelessly wield a baseball bat, &amp;#039;Emohawk&amp;#039; edges it for bringing fan favourites Duane Dibbley and Ace Rimmer back into the fold.      &amp;#039;Out of Time&amp;#039; - Series VI, Episode 6 - First aired November 11, 1993 Like the best Dwarf instalments, &amp;#039;Out of Time&amp;#039; brings the funny but also gives you something to chew over - in the sixth series finale, the crew encounter their future selves and are disgusted with the bald, overweight snobs they&amp;#039;ve become. In a genuinely exciting final sequence, Lister, Cat and Kryten are all killed in an explosive confrontation with their counterparts and it&amp;#039;s up to Rimmer of all people to save the day - but can he destroy the ship&amp;#039;s time drive in... well, time? We had to wait a painfully long three years to find out...      Honourable Mentions... It was so hard narrowing our favourite Dwarf episodes to a list of just five, so silver medals go to Rimmer&amp;#039;s amazing meltdown in &amp;#039;Quarantine&amp;#039; and the gender-swapping antics of &amp;#039;Parallel Universe&amp;#039; - fine episodes both.
