Red Dwarf: comedy sci-fi show or sci-fi comedy show?

Red Dwarf has I believe managed to straddle the border between serious or at least semi-serious sci-fi and comedy, without totally sliding over onto either side.

Happy 25th anniversary - Red Dwarf!

15 February is definitely a day to celebrate if you love British telly. Twenty-five years ago on that fateful day in 1988, the creation from the mind palace of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor which introduced the world to the remaining on-board inhabitants of a mining spaceship owned and operated by the Jupiter Mining Corporation, became a reality with the premiere broadcast of Red Dwarf.

Danny John-Jules interview

Jake Laverde, Den Of Geek, 15th January 2013

Smoke us a kipper, it was back for a tenth series. Just when we though Kryten, Rimmer, Lister and Cat had been consigned to a great big TV dustbin in space, UKTV's Dave saved and rebooted the sci-fi sitcom. The show may be 24 years old, but thanks to a return to studio audience filming, back-to-basics plots and set-ups and a refreshed cast that looked like they were having a ball, Dwarf was back to its early-'90s pomp. Admitting you're a fan of the show is still about as cool as wearing granny's knitted Christmas jumper, but we're smegheads and we're proud. Roll on series 11.
