Red Dwarf was a show that I was so obsessed with as a child that my teacher wrote to my parents to ask that I be "made to watch" something else. Funny jokes, hard sci fi concepts, solid characters, cool ships, relatable naffness, great guest actors. From the battleship grey days at the Beeb through to the Funchal promised land of Dave. From youthful Alien-inspired eighties exuberance, that weird awkward mid-life crisis period of which we rarely speak to a mostly tasteful old age. The boys from the Dwarf are fabulous, flawed and ever-smeggin-green. To that teacher of a byegone era I say: "swivel on it, punk!"
