 New Statesman - Sky's the limit
The first eruption was in January when the debut of the new series of Friends won 2.5 million viewers, an unheard of audience for satellite.
The Strangerers is not in The League of Gentlemen's league, but it is an attractive, funny show nevertheless, and at a cost of nearly £3 million for the series, expectations are running high.
As one of the Strangerers explained on Tuesday: "We will be observed by low- credibility beings of minuscule intelligence." Yet aren't we all, sometimes, low-credibility beings of minuscule intelligence?

 Sky One To Remake The Prisoner | Solar Flare: Science Fiction News
Case for the defence is not only “Hex”, but “The Strangerers”, a one-off Rob Grant (he of “Red Dwarf”) sci-fi comedy which is probably a pretty good guide to what to expect from an entirely Sky One-produced “Prisoner”.
Even if the revamped “Prisoner” was merely “The Strangerers” minus the comedy, it’d still be worth it.
The sheer visual style of “The Strangerers” was a beauty to behold, set in a kind of oddball modern-day 1950s, with great costumes, sets and even cars.

 PAUL DARROW INTERVIEW
He's currently working on a new sci-fi sitcom, The Strangerers, and he called in for a live Radio Times online chat to talk about this and Blake's 7, his plans for the future, and Sarah Michelle Gellar...
John Tolbert asks: "I've heard that the 4th season finale, "Blake", was not supposed to be the end of the series.
The Strangerers, which I've done for Rob Grant is science fiction, and I suppose The Dreamers, being based on the work of Lovecraft, could also be described as sci-fi - although possibly horror."

 Rob Grant@Everything2.com
One half of the gestalt entity Grant Naylor, which penned the first 6 series of Red Dwarf for the BBC, along with two books, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers and Better Than Life.
Rob went on to write the intermittently funny fourth Red Dwarf book, Backwards; the rather poor-quality BBC sitcom The Dark Ages; the little-known sci-fi comedy The Strangerers (featuring some decidedly 1950s style aliens who come down to Earth); and his most recent, the Red Dwarf-like book Colony.
Funnier than Doug Naylor (the other half) and noticeably darker, Rob's stuff is usually well worth a look.

This year, he has also recorded new stand-up sets for Four At The Store, Stand Up 2 and The Comedy Store.
He has made numerous guest television appearances and starred as The Supervisor in the hit sitcom, The Strangerers.
He continues to gig on the comedy circuit, where his act weaves threads of ideas with the tatter of his life to fashion a uniquely fetching jumper of obscurity!

Since Red Dwarf drifted off into infinity, good sci-fi comedies are thinner on the ground than Captain Picard’s hair.
Think of The Strangerers, last year’s woeful offering from Sky if you want further proof.
For a generation weaned on Star Wars and Star Trek, many writers have either been too consumed with their own in jokes, or have treated the much maligned genre which has left millions turning off in their droves.

I like them both, but love the dialogue in the Strangerers...it's produced by the same crowd that did "Red Dwarf", so you know it's good.
I heard somewhere that the early episodes of RD looked very much like they had been influenced by Hitchhikers, but they also parodied other things like Alien in later episodes.

Rob admits that he feels the programme is unlikely to be viewed favourably by the broadcasting world as it looks to be somewhat expensive.
This piece was written for and first appeared in Better Than Life, the fanzine from The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club which I edited from late 1994 to early 1997.
Subsequently, Taken For Granted has pulled The Strangerers due to similarities with Third Rock From the Sun and Rob's company has turned to other projects.

In many ways, this served to undermine the central character, and the strength of the premise was...
diluted by its Sky base: the satellite broadcaster, venturing into domestic production for the first time (see also The Strangerers, Harry Enfield's Brand Spanking New Show and Baddiel's Syndrome), was keen to sell the show into the American market and thus required a 22-episode season.
Such a stretch meant that cracks in the premise began to show relatively quickly.
