Red Dwarf duo in court battle
They were childhood friends before achieving professional success writing scripts for Spitting Image - and subsequent stardom as creators of the cult sci-fi sitcom, Red Dwarf. But, alas, those halcyon days are very much behind them and their partnership has collapsed into a black hole. For I can disclose that Doug Naylor, one half of the duo who dreamed up Dave Lister - played by comedian and DJ Craig Charles - and his fellow misfit spaceship companions, has just initiated a dramatic High Court action against his former co-scriptwriter and one-time best friend, Rob Grant.

While the differences between Red Dwarf series I and II were miniscule, the changes between series II and III could not have been greater.

Max Goldbart, Broadcast, 14th April 2020Red Dwarf review
Red Dwarf (Dave), the sci-fi sitcom that's been running almost since the beginning of the universe, switched format to record a feature-length episode, a full two hours. Even Dad's Army couldn't manage that. And it was funny. Not just catchphrase funny, more than simply in-joke, fan-favourite funny, but loaded with some great gags.
