Series 5 - worst?

I'm watching series 5 on DVD again and I think it says a lot that as a kid I could barely remember series 5 despite it being the most recent. It is really, really poor. Mediocre storylines, too much emphasis on characters who aren't Spike and Lynda...I'm afraid there isn't one single stand out episode except 'There are Crocodiles' Sorry Mr Moffatt but the show feels tired here. 1-4 however are a work of absolute genius.

Nah i liked all of them, but yes strangely enough season 5 didnt stick in my memory as much as the others though that may have been how it was shown on telly. Im rewatching too, I miss Kenny in season 5 but the writing is still damn good.
