Comedy writer, Red Dwarf co-creator, passed away yesterday, I have just leaned.

Better dead than smeg.

"Dwayne Dibley?"

Go well Rob.

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

I can't think of many comedies where you find this many quality gags crammed into little more than 3 minutes:

Favourite episode? Got to be 'Marooned' for me. A virtual two-hander between Lister and Rimmer, all in one room. Not a single wasted line, and the payoff is perfect.

My favourite episode is possibly the time travel one where they went back to Dallas Texas to shoot Kennedy from the grassy knoll having previously gone back and distracted Lee Harvey Oswald

I wouldn't know in the RD canon where it was

I do know the earlier the episodes generally the better they were, and after a while I kind of stopped watching. The early episodes had an edge to them that slowly seemed to be blunted

Just genius. A reminder of the days when the BBC produced comedy that was actually funny.

RIP.
