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

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.
