James Cary's top 10 sitcoms, #6: Red Dwarf

The first two series undoubtedly showed promise. I'm sure one or two die-hard ardent fans think it went down hill in Series 3. But I've never met anyone who thinks that.

How about a Red Dwarf themed Valentine's Day e-card?

You might remember a couple of years ago when we were totally thinking of your well-being and brought you some Downton Abbey-themed Valentines that you could download and fire off via e-mail like you had been planning this for months. Unfortunately, these are no longer available on the Internets, but we have the perfect replacement, thanks to the great minds over at 'the Small Rouge One', Red Dwarf.

Robert Llewellyn: Why is BBC2 ignoring Red Dwarf?

BBC Two is in the middle of a 50 year retrospective of it's greatest hits. So far one of their greatest hits stands out rather awkwardly for being totally ignored. It was on BBC Two for 10 years from 1988 to 1998. Anyway, now we're on Dave and it's much nicer.

Red Dwarf will reportedly return to Dave in autumn 2015.
