    Back in the early 1990s Mrs K worked for Nationwide Building Society near Reading. One of the customers there was the lady who did the dance sequence on the opening credits. Or so the customer said anyway. Another customer though was the bloke who played the horse rider on Hi-De-Hi.

    Red Dwarf remindes me of going to Wearside college and couldn't wait to get home to watch it, incidentally I moved there in the 00's when in turned into Greystoke the housing estate.
