Some Nando’s sweet chilli jam sauce normally does the job for giving a Pot Noodle some life.

My Dad put it on one night after being told about it by a friend in work.  He got my attention away from whatever I was doing at the time and told me that I might enjoy this show we were about to watch, so I settled in for my first viewing of Red Dwarf.

I was around 9 or so at the time and this was unlike anything I’d every seen.  It was a comedy show that looked like something out of 2000ad, the characters were funny, the theme tune was cool.  I was onboard from almost the first second I saw it.

So you can imagine my childish disappointment when all the characters died and it turned out that it had been a computer game all along.  Had I tuned in just in time to see the last episode of this amazing new show?  I was gutted.

Thankfully the twists and turns of Back to Reality played out and the loveable crew ended the episode in one piece, off for more adventures.  I was enthralled.

A pocket money purchase of Series IV Byte Two on VHS from Woolworths that weekend sealed the deal.

Is the bar of the Aigburth Arms being locked behind a fence like it’s a prison a sci-fi future thing, or are pubs already like that? I wouldn’t know because I don’t hang around pubs at opening or closing, and I haven’t been to Liverpool.

Sci-fi future thing.  The Aigburth Arms is an alright pub, good beer garden if the weather is nice.

Though it’s a chain pub so it probably looks a like hundred others like it across the country.
