I think this calls for the Full salute

Bruh.

That’s perfect.

Damn. The book announcement was just days ago.

RIP Mr Grant. Thanks for keeping me thoroughly entertained throughout the 90s. When I first moved out of home back in the early nineties I had the first four series on vhs. We watched them over and over and over. Now I’m going to watch them again.

"This has been a good day. I've eaten 5 times, slept 6 times and made lots of things mine. Tomorrow, I'm gonna see if I can't have sex with something! Aow! Yeah!"

“Twelve minutes. And that includes the time it took to eat the pizza.”

Smegging hell. 70 is a good run, but still too soon for me.

70 is a good run

70 must seem impossibly far off to you !

Or, he is looking at his family and not many make it past that age? Only a few men in my family made it to 70, the women mostly made it to between 80 and 92

We were talking about Red Dwarf at work just yesterday. It's still one of my favourite all time shows.

I haven't seen a lot of the more recent years stuff - for a long time I hadn't realized they were still making stuff occasionally. I need to go find a collection so I can catch up…

"Back to Earth" feels kinda off, but still had some funny bits.

Series X to XII feel like a return to form, with X feeling more like the first few series in tone (more sitcom-y), and the next two feeling more adventurous like series 3 to 6. A few episodes get pretty Black Mirror-ish (in a good way) while keeping up the humor.

Promised Land kept the level of quality, but told a longer story, while remaining very funny and imaginative.
