The Time-Space Continuum

A couple of bits of scheduling news. Firstly, Comedy Connections tonight (10:35pm, BBC ONE) is on The Young Ones. We know Filthy Rich & Catflap will be featured (albeit almost certainly briefly); the question is, will they toss it off as a failed Young Ones, or will it get the recognition it deserves? It’s Hi-de-hi! the week after (which gets a lot of unfair slack), and then after that, it’s the cumulation…

Meanwhile, Red Dwarf VIII starts on Wednesday (11:20pm, BBC TWO); it’s not a double bill, but simply the first part of BITR. Oh, if only they could have gone back and broadcast the episode as originally intended. But, of course, we all know that.

Ah, the joy of intriguing headlines coupled with boring news stories…

UPDATE (3/8/04): According to Big Blake in our comments and The Red Dwarf Zone, Craig Charles is also in The Weakest Link on Wednesday 4th, BBC ONE @ 8:00pm. Or: tomorrow. Nineties special? Oh dear…
