    Been a pig awful day weatherwise and I was glad to have Red Dwarf on in the background. This series still cracks me up - even on a dull, dreary day like today.
    This set me thinking..." if I were castaway on that desert island with only a telly and a DVD box set to watch, which one would it be? "
    It's a toss up between Red Dwarf and The Geoff Hamilton collection.

    Which one would YOU choose?

    Ray Mears ....Survival guide lol!
    Agree about Geoff Hamilton, could watch him on gardeners world over and over. Think it would have to be Poldark or Pride and Prejudice, tho' bit of a story set in fantastic English scenery.
