I absolutely love red dwarf. I listen to the programme when I cant sleep or listen to the audio books.
Such a shame they fell out ... the 7th series onwards and the 2 books they wrote as individuals (backwards and last human) are nowhere near as good as series 1-6 and the two books they jointly wrote (infinitey welcomes careful driver and better than life). They have made me laugh during some dark days...and still do.
A pretty good legacy in my view
RIP

Not watching much UK TV these days, but when it's good, UK comedy is in a class of it's own. I'm talking less of the sitcoms /stand-up / slapstick ilk (although some have been excellent) which is more universal and Americanised and more of the thoughtful, situation variety that comes along only now and again.

The likes of After Life and The Detectorists come immediately to mind from recent years and the latest for me is Small Prophets. Not rushed, every line and pause considered - even around a ridiculous premise in the latters case. Quintessentially British humour.

I watched small prophets a couple of weeks ago. Thought it was superb and hope they do a second series.

Liked After life too but haven’t seen the detectorists but been meaning to watch it for a while now.
