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.

Classic interview: Red Dwarf, April, 2006

It's not a sentence that you hear every day - "Excuse me, I must go and get rubberised" - except in certain Soho clubs. Or if you are visiting the Red Dwarf set at Shepperton Studios and talking to Robert Llewellyn, who plays the valet Kryten, the latex-faced mechanoid in the cult science-fiction sitcom.

Red Dwarf: comedy sci-fi show or sci-fi comedy show?

Red Dwarf has I believe managed to straddle the border between serious or at least semi-serious sci-fi and comedy, without totally sliding over onto either side.
