Yeah, the British humour invasion was interesting. I indeed found shows like Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Black Adder funny. It should be noted that, it was an interesting time in TV when you were kind of trapped with the 3 big networks and not much else, so anything quirky, irreverent, or a little subversive from the BBC was pretty cool. But, anyway, sitting around reading quotes from Kryten questioning the application of various space corps directives and such brought back warm feelings.

KRYTEN: '39436175880932/B. "All nations attending the conference are only allocated one parking space." Is that entirely relevant sir? I mean, here we are, in mortal danger and you're worried about the Chinese delegates bringing two cars.

RIMMER: 'Can't you let just one go, I was talking about the right of POWs to non-violent constraint.'

KRYTEN: 'But that's 39436175880932/C, sir.'
