The fact is, I would rather Dwarf continue as it is than have no Dwarf at all. As I've said, Grant chose to leave. Possibly the stupidest career choice he will ever have made, but he made it....Dwarf lives on....and I still love it (Yes, there are some episodes of Season 7 that are a little lacklustre, but I think that's more to do with the absence of Chris Barrie and a studio audience than anything else). To be honest, it seems that Dwarf fans are so critical, it's very likely that they'll hate anything that doesn't involve Grant and Naylor together whether it's any good or not. The old episodes are still there for you to watch and enjoy on DVD. If people don't like the new stuff, they're welcome to change the channel. Additional......These days Red Dwarf is as much Craig, Chris, Robert and Danny as it is Doug and Rob.....so we're still 5/6's intact. Be positive, people.

The whole of Series 8 should be deleted and forgotten in my view. Sadly I'm inclined to agree. Having just watched series 1 through 3 before watching series
