That's a bit of a shame, even though I was really disappointed by the special. I did like a fair bit of the middle act but overall it felt like they just hit a reset button.There were things that just didn't add up for me...

And I would think that cutting certain things might actually improve it a bit. I thought the ironing gag was ruined by Lister laughing to himself in the hallway beforehand, for example.

I will probably feel compelled to buy this for the sake of having a 'complete' dvd collection. - What are the documentaries like?
