Red Dwarf crew come back to earth!!
MSN news has reported that one of my favourite comedy series ever is to return this year:
Sometimes I really wish I lived back in the UK, that sounds like one hell of a weekend. [sigh] I'm extremely intrigued by the no holds barred episode too.
The Red Dwarf crew will come back to Earth when the show returns this Easter, 21 years since the science fiction series first blasted off.
For eight series totalling 52 episodes, Dave Lister wanted to return to his home planet. Now, at last, he has - in Red Dwarf: Back To Earth.
Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the new show reunites Chris Barrie as Rimmer, Craig Charles as Lister, Danny John-Jules as Cat and Robert Llewellyn as Kryten.
The two-part series Red Dwarf: Back To Earth, will kick start a Red Dwarf Easter weekend from Good Friday on TV channel Dave.
This will be followed by Red Dwarf: Unplugged, a "no holds barred" episode with no sets, no effects - and no autocue.
The weekend will climax with Red Dwarf: The Making Of Back To Earth, a behind-the-scenes special from the new production.
Dave will reveal news snippets from the production at joindave.co.uk.
Red Dwarf is Dave's biggest commission yet and its first foray into scripted comedy.
The offbeat series, set in space, has enjoyed phenomenal success since it first aired in 1988 on BBC2.
It brought in more than eight million viewers for series eight, sold 7.25 million DVD and videos worldwide, broadcast in some 25 territories worldwide and won International Emmy and British Comedy Awards.
Sometimes I really wish I lived back in the UK, that sounds like one hell of a weekend. [sigh] I'm extremely intrigued by the no holds barred episode too.

hmm, I enjoyed the show as a kid, but I don't see the need to revive it. The last series wasn't particularly good.

I think they're bringing it back because they know that the film version will never happen despite all of the annoucements and false start dates.

I would love to see some more Red Dwarf. Loved the show, read the books. Can't believe it was 20 years ago. SMEG!

Glad to see I'm not the only one Leestu. I know the last couple of seasons were not up to the usual high standard, but that standard was still pretty good in the wider scale of tv shows. I have full faith they will bring it back great, if only for two episodes, and at least they have all the old cast and crew back too. SMEG!

Will Cat be in the new series? He was my favorite character in the old series.
