Chris had already starred in Red Dwarf before Brittas, and continued to appear as Arnold Rimmer long after Gordon packed away his gym kit. His next big role after Brittas was as another titular sitcom character, Gary Prince, in A Prince Among Men (1997-98), which was about an insufferable former football star turned business entrepreneur. Barrie re...
Pippa followed Brittaswith a long and varied career, which includes recurring roles in some of the best telly series ever.

She also made regular appearances on A Touch of Frost and Casualty. Sadly, St John hasn't acted for a while now – her last on-screen appearance was in 2012, in the Bollywood movie Jab T...
Brittas' faithful (but useless) friend / caretaker, Colin was played by Michael Burns, who stayed in the industry, appearing in British mainstays, including Emmerdale, Heartbeat, Casualty and Hollyoaks. Last year he appeared in a one-off role on Doctors, where he played Donald Slater, a drunk man in a bin.

In 2004, Flynn had recurring roles in Channel 5's soap opera Family Affairs and medical drama No Angels. More recently, Flynn provided several voices for iconic kids' TV show Peppa Pig and – fairly asto...
Russell's only media appearance following Brittas came in the Brittas Empire: Out-takes – Series 4– which was obviously the same thing. Porter has retired from telly and film, but hopefully he'll be back if Chris Barrie gets his wish and the show's brought back for another series, something he discussed at the MCM Comic Con in 2014, shortly after a...
