RIP, thanks for the memories. No sci fi effect has ever given me the same sense of wonder that I got from the shot of the camera slowly travelling over the gigantic ship in the Season 1/2 intro. Btw: @dang : Grant was the co-creator, alongside Doug Naylor, who is still kicking
It's cold outside There's no kind of atmosphere I'm all alone More or less Let me fly Far away from here Fun fun fun In the sun sun sun I want to lie Shipwrecked and comatose Drinking fresh Mango juice Goldfish shoals Nibbling at my toes Fun fun fun In the sun sun sun Fun fun fun In the sun sun sun

I rewatch it a lot and the only season I skip is 9. There are a couple bad later episodes I'll skip but there are more than a few bangers in the later seasons.
Ditto here, season 9 ("Back to Earth") is the only one I have no desire to rewatch. Season 12 is particularly good though. In my opinion, the first and last episodes of that season are among the funniest they've ever done!

The practical effects in the early seasons were truly fantastic. It was never quite the same after they switched to cgi.
In the case of "Red Dwarf", the genius was in having the ship be an ugly industrial environment in the vein of "Dark Star", "Alien", "Outland" etc. That allowed for sets to be built easily and cheaply. I think some of it was even filmed in a BBC canteen/cafeteria.
Damn. Guess I’ll be smoking some kippers in his memory. Can we get a black bar? On second thoughts, that would mean changing the CSS.
Bravo.

I agree, Clare Grogan is still who I picture when I think of Kochanski tbh, I loved her energy
Clare Grogan is definitely who I think of. I couldn't really see Chloe Annette being Kochanski, she was miscast and I don't think she got good scripts.
