RED DWARF -- coming back to Earth!

[Ignis]

The cast of hit sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf are to reunite for a new two-part storyline which will see them finally return to Earth.

Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will air on UKTV digital channel Dave over the Easter weekend.

It will sit alongside two further new episodes – the improvised Red Dwarf: Unplugged, which will feature the cast dealing with no sets, effects or autocue, and Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind the scenes look at the new production.

The new two-parter will begin a decade on from when the crew of the Red Dwarf were last seen, with a "shock development" throwing Rimmer, Lister, Cat and Kryten back to Earth.

1. Awesome!

I've only seen the first few episodes, but this is a great sci-fi comedy!

4. Would it be wrong to admit...

That Cat is my style guru? :rofl:

:rofl:

The Cat character developed real nicely as the show went on. At first he was playing it as just a James Brown take off, but he really made it into a distinctive character. He ended up getting some of the best lines. I love in season 7 when Lister loses his arm and Cat starts comparing him to a three legged pitbull.

I never get tired of the show. I run through all 8 series about once every three months. Outside of The Young Ones (and possibly Blackadder, depending on my mood), Red Dwarf is the funniest show I've seen. Being a sci-fi fan makes them even better. It's like Star Trek, only intentionally funny. :)

6. Mine too.

Or rather, Dwayne Dibley. :blush:

7. Dwane Dibbley and Ace Rimmer

I like to think I fall somewhere in between the two...but it's probably towards the former end of the spectrum. :)

2. One of the best SF TV shows ever.

Turning cheesy special effects and bad science into a virtue!

3. Smeggin' A!

About damn time!!! The movie never got off the ground, so this is awesome news!

"What a ship!"
