Yes i do remember this wonderful series and was hooked from episode 1 of series 1. Something prompted me to record the first episode and i was so happy that i did.
I subsequently recorded every episode in both series and regularly watch these gems. I can safely say that this is my all time favourite TV series. I think the only other series that could come close to this was 2000 Acres Of Sky.
Riff Raff was never repeated on BBC 1 but did get a repeat airing on some station like UKTV or Bravo a few years after initial airing. I cannot believe how this wonderful series was so overlooked. It is good to know that there are some people out there that also enjoyed it too.
I do not have much info about it really as it was so short lived but thought to at least let someone else know how wonderful i thought it all was. Maybe one day someone at the beeb will have the foresight to realise that it should be released on DVD. Roll on that day!
