Red Dwarf legend passes away suddenly as shocked stars pay tribute Red Dwarf, which Grant created with Doug Naylor, launched on BBC2 in 1998. It became one of Britain's most loved sitcoms

Really shocked and sad that Rob has left us. Lovely man, who was still planning RD-ish future projects, still enthusiasticically looking forward, not dwelling on the past. Rest in peace dear chap #RedDwarf #RobGrant

Agreed. FWIW I think its reputation is hampered by its name, whereas the Brandenburgs were enhanced by theirs. Dumbarton Oaks sounds like a furniture superstore.

Anyone enjoying the ravishingly-shot new Netflix #Amadeus romp who fancies a quick fact-cleanse on that final year of Mozart's life could do worse than check out this doc we made from 23 yrs (!) ago youtu.be/XhwgL3MGuaw?...

Daily Mail+ BORIS JOHNSON: If Labour MPs try to reverse Brexit they will be walking into a hail of machine gun fire - and if that's the fight they want, bring it on! But they should heed my warning before things get bloody...

The worst, most dishonest prime minister we’ve ever had, rocks back and forth in his Daily Mail cubbyhole spewing out idiotic bilge to kid himself that he and his disastrous Brexit weren’t an almighty national fuck-up.
A deeply pathetic threat from an abject failure of a man.

Blitz: the club that shaped the 80s Delve into the music, fashion, and design stories that shaped Blitz – the club, the people, and the movement that transformed 1980s London style.

It turns out that a song of mine (NICE VIDEO, SHAME ABOUT THE SONG) is an actual exhibit in this. Am v chuffed, as I definitely wasn't anywhere near as cool as any of the folk involved in all this at the time. Or now.
