    When this show was at its best, it was really very good and had a lot of heart. Real comfort watching. Grant and Naylor put a lot of joy into the world with their work.

    I was just watching a piece yesterday on how poorly Grant and Naylor were treated by the production of the American pilot, and this came as a complete shock. What a loss for British comedy.

    Such a loss. Red Dwarf has long been my favorite show, and Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers one of my favorite books. I do hope the book he wrote recently still gets released this year.
