The ''', a recurring sketch within ''Son Of Cliché''. Grant was briefly seen (uncredited) in an episode of ''Red Dwarf'' entitled " Backwards " (1989), as a man who 'un-smoked' a cigarette. In the mid-1990s, the ' Grant Naylor ' collaboration was ended when Grant left ''Red Dwarf'' after the sixth series, citing creative differences with Doug Naylor . His main reason however, he said, was that he 'wished to have more on his 'tombstone' than ''Red Dwarf'' on its own'. In 1995, the '' Daily Mirror '' newspaper claimed that the reason Grant quit his role as co-writer was that he'd had a fight with Naylor while developing series VII, although Grant later denied this. Since ''Red Dwarf'', Grant has written two television series, '' The Strangerers '' and '' Dark Ages '', and four solo novels, his most recent being '' Fat '', a satirical look at how Obesity is looked upon by society and the media. He is currently rumoured to be involved in an upcoming animated television series entitled ''Cruel Aliens''. SELECTED WORKS BY ROB GRANT
