Red Dwarf was one of the best "sci-fi" series to be shown on TV in the early '90s! Loved it - though in my opinion the series ran on for too long: at the end the characters were looking distinctly old. The final episode was excellent however, and was a very clever way of providing 'closure'.

Tomorrow morning at 0100 on BBC2 - The Quatermass Xperiment, The proper one from the Fifties. Good of them to stick it on so late of course no-one has work to go to tomorrow. Anyways set your VCR (or whatever).

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

This was the film adaptation of the BBC tv series. I rate both and the BBC original of Quatermass and the Pit is very good too as is the second story. Have them all on DVD and the penguin books of the scripts, so I will maybe watch again. My Sky+ box drive is getting very full about 4% left lol

Was that the sequal to 'The Ipcress File', with Michael Caine as Harry Palmer?
