    Ah, Terence Hardiman. Very timely after his sad passing recently. The 90s was his peak, with his 2 best known roles, one awesomely evil - The Demon Headmaster, and one awesomely good - Abbot Radulfus in Cadfael.
    No, Brittas, you don't understand, you're surrounded by terrible people... And Colin.

    Wouldn't it be amazing if a man named Harold Innocent really was a judge?

    Yes, this episode has The Demon Headmaster but more importantly......Billy from Eastenders. XD

    "Sending you/someone to Coventry" is an old idiom meaning to ostracise/blank someone. Apparently, from the English civil war [1640s], when royalist troops captured in Birmingham were sent to Coventry, a Parliamentary stronghold.
    Edit: It's less of a personal blanking, and more like a planned effort by an entire community.

      I remember when the Red Dwarf Fan club was having its Dimension Jump convention in Coventry, and I made the joke that we were all being sent to Coventry. 😂 I thought I was being clever (I'm American) and a few people in the fan club told be that it was a dumb joke. 😅😂

      @@monkfan72 Would love to have gone to an RD convention. I have mixed feelings about some of the later episodes (though a lot of the newer Dave ones are pretty good), but at its best Red Dwarf is great. It's a tribute to Chris Barrie that I don't think of Rimmer at all when watching Brittas. I guess his background as an impressionist really helps him `switch character'.

    Terrence Hardiman sadly died earlier this month.
    You have seen him before, as Wilson the bank assistant in an episode of Goodnight Sweetheart.

      That's a shame, I remember him fondly as the Demon Headmaster :)

      Really? I didn't know that he had died - I was watching him just a couple of hours ago in an episode of Crown Court.
      In the 70s and 80s he cornered the market in playing German officers in British WW2 dramas - he played such roles in no fewer than four different series, by my reckoning.

    Barrie is/was Rimmer in Red Dwarf, can't call yourself a nerd I don't think and not find RD hilarious!
    Thing is Chris Barrie went for the part of Lister, but Craig Charles got that part and Charles went for Rimmer. Essentially Rimmers a hologram of Listers deceased bunkmate haha!

    I may have to rewatch the series, but while Brittas can be cruel to Colin, I don't think he is mean to Colin because he hates him. I believe the barbs usually come when Colin says or does something that Brittas would consider inept for a deputy manager.
