Not a day goes by when I don't quote #RedDwarf in some way. But despite so many to choose from, the iconic line from the show that best sums up Rob Grant's legacy is obvious

"And the moral of the story is, "Appreciate what you've got", because basically, I'm fantastic."

Rob Grant is a painful one. Those first six series of Red Dwarf are a religious text for so many of us.

Any regular listener to the show knows that @liamhdempsey.bsky.social and @mattbrothers.bsky.social are even bigger Dwarfers than we are Trekkies so we are both truly gutted over today’s sad news.

The Arrow release of this film was Liam’s Christmas gift to @mattbrothers.bsky.social last year for the express reason that the 2005 cut is the only way to watch this film!

Big festive thanks to @verbaldiorama.bsky.social for the recommendation of one of our favourite Christmas episodes covering Pstew starring Christmas Eve. The film might a cinematic lump of coal but we sure had a lot of fun talking about it.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. We're in an old house with rich wood trims and various mahogany things and frosty windows and it's nightime. Data sits in a cozy chair, staring presumably at a fireplace. There's a orb/night light behind him in the background. He's wearing a robe & pajamas and a long night cap like the one Scrooge always wears in that holiday story about shitty healthcare and wealth inequity. Closed caption reads, "Humbug, I tell you."

I always love putting together our Christmas Special each year. The always in-person record with Matt+Paul often feels like where my Christmas starts, and this year it was lovely to have Eleanor with us too.
