Dave Lister is his own father. Mind you, that was revealed in series VII so some Dwarfers like to think it's non-canonical.... because that's how it works, isn't it? If something is shit, it didn't happen.
I have, thankfully, remained ignorant to all this. Until now, of course.
The thing is, as dreadful as these remakes always are, I cannot hand-on-heart say they are any worse than what currently passes for "comedy" on our screens. The sitcom has been dead as a format for some time.
