    Just watching some old episodes and although it’s clearly low budget, there’s some cracking writing.

    S1-6 us some of the best comedy ever made.
    Even my Dad referenced it just the other day as his toaster broke.

    I went to a comic con in the Metrodome recently.and many of the cast were there. I really wanted to speak to Chris Barrie* but wasn't going to ask for a selfie at the prices they were charging.

    * Mr Brittas ... in an actual leisure centre. Anyway, I didn't.

    The books are fantastic, still got mine from 30 odd years ago. Can pick them up anytime and still have me chuckling today.

    What would we all see ehh as our object of desire, if we met the Pleasure 'Gelf' ?. ;)
    And I'd quite like to meet the Polymorph lol, wouldn't we all like to lose things like fear, guilt, bitterness, jealousy, sarcasm etc, all the horrible things.

    Did you all hear the story of how it almost never got started. Paul Jackson the producer was apparently dead against the idea of mixing Sci-fi and sitcom together, back in 87-88.
    But the disappointing sitcom Happy families (with Ade Edmondson and Jennifer Saunders), wasn't going to do a second series. So Dwarf got that budget to spend, which wasn't much, hence the extremely drab cheap grey sets.
    But at least it was off and running, Series one. :)

    Went to see a couple of episodes being recorded at the BBC in Manchester back in the 80s. Love it.

    "We are talking jape of the decade."

    Gunmen of the Apocalypse and Back to Reality get all the plaudits, and it's deserved, but Queeg is probably my favourite episode. Also a shout out for 'Thanks for the Memories' from series 1 (I think?) which still hits hard. Properly good sci-fi writing.
