Travel Tips
If you are a UK citizen then you have a right to enter the UK and you don't need a passport. You just need to prove you have that right. And the passport is your proof.

I'd guess that a 6 month out of date pasport would be accepted by the immigration official.

However -- it may not be accepted by the airline when you try to board. These days airlines want valid photo id -- thay also get fined large amounts if they deliver someone to the UK that does not have valid travel documents so they err on the side of caution.

And, if your passport is not valid it would tend to imply that you have exceeded your permit to stay in whatever country you are now in, so if there is an immigration check at departure then you could be in trouble there.

So I suggest you check with your intended airline whether they will carry you and what your status is with your host country. And see if you can get a passport extension at your nearest British Embassy.
