Red Dwarf to return

[Rawwr]

I must've appeared very ignorant. I don't think I said anything, except 'gerronimo!'.

DL: "We're a real mickey mouse outfit arent we?"
Cat: "Mickey mouse? We aint even Betty Boop!"

Legendary series, legendary show. Series 3,4 and 5 for me. Awesome.

Just Naylor writing this though? Hmm, could be a bit smeg.

[Mc Lovin]

They will find a way of fking it up, like all good things from the past, they are best left there.

Yes, but he was like a Japanese meal - so very small, but so MANY courses.

Remember when Ford brought back the RS2000, The harrier & the Mexico.......this could go the same way !

But better than nothing, ok so it will maybe be a one off watch (or turn off half way through)& then make the classic episodes seem even better.

I loved


Holly: Good morning, Dave. It is now safe for you to emerge from stasis.
Lister: Haven't I just gone in?
Holly: Please proceed to the Drive Room for debriefing.
Lister: Where is everybody, Hol?
Holly: They're dead, Dave.
Lister: Who is?
Holly: Everybody, Dave.
Lister: What, Captain Hollister?
Holly: Everybody's dead, Dave.
Lister: What, Todhunter?
Holly: Everybody's dead, Dave.
Lister: What, Selby?
Holly: They're all dead. Everybody's dead, Dave.
Lister: Petersen isn't, is he?
Holly: Everybody is dead, Dave.
Lister: Not Chen?
Holly: Gordon Bennett! Yes! Chen, everybody. Everybody's dead, Dave.
Lister: Rimmer?
Holly: He's dead, Dave. Everybody's dead. Everybody is dead, Dave!
Lister: Wait. Are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
Holly: I wish I'd never let him out in the first place.

I am so looking forward to this!

I hope it works, but I suspect it'll tank - I mean, Blackadder worked after X years didn't it (!)

Epic fail potential is high, a lot will depend on how well it's written. Blackadder, the time travel one, just wasn't funny. Only Fools, where they revived it after they'd become millionaires, also wasn't funny and had too many stupid plot conveniences ("oh no the stock market is crashing, we've lost all our money" ).

It was never any good after Rob Grant left (after series6)

I am a huge red dwarf fan but I dont think I would like to see it resurected as it would be rubbish.

Im quite happy to see robert llewellin on scrapheap challenge, and keep Red Dwarf to DVD.

This sculpture here, pray what do you call it?

The light switch.

Ah. So I couldn't buy it then?

Not really. I need it to turn the lights on and off.


Glad to see RD back, even a crap RD is going to be several leagues above Pop Factor Idol:Get Me Out of Here.

[Morningside]

Perhaps I should say "Well, spin my nipple nuts and send me to Alaska!"

Shame its on Dave and not the BBC, just shows how that company has 'lost the plot' to its traditional viewers - Can anyone else see the BBC showing repeats of Dave? Now that would be odd

I love Red dwarf but the quality did deteriorate in series 7, the change to film stock and convenient plot changes just ruined it, although there was the odd good bit.

Totally. The "film" look really ruined the feel for me.

The 'Pete' episodes did not work for me, and as for Kryton speaking in that whiny high pitched voice

My favourite? Back to Reality.

Almost a high point for me that bit, some total classics in that series.

I feel I shall be watching some Red Dwarf later now!

[whit3star]

I really, really hope it's good but like most people on the thread was disappointed with the last two series. My favourite episode has got to be 'Back to Reality'

The Cat discovers he is really Duane Dibbley, sandal-wearing, thermos-toting loser. "So this is really me?" he asks. "A no-style gimbo with teeth the druids could use as a place of worship?

Although this still makes me laugh

Could be good, could be arse. I hope it's closer to the first six series in style. But how are they going to get out of the end of the season 8? Looked like curtains...

I worked that out.

Lister, Kochanski, the Cat, Kryten and Holly escaped into an alternate universe at the end of Series 8. Rimmer was killed.

However, the hologram Rimmer is still in his stint as 'Ace', with a dimension-jumping spacecraft. He could easily join them wherever they are and I hardly think he'd be up to being Ace anyway.

Oh, nearly forgot (for us older viewers)
Kryton: "This old baby's crashed more times than a ZX81" - Classic.

And me! Legion is my all-time favourite episode

Jane Horricks looking particularly cute

You know what I'd like to do to her? Just sex. Constant, guiltless, sex. :GoesForALieDown:

Thanks for that.

I take it you don't remember her uttering those words in a hot voice in Holloship?

Its been a long time

[iluvmercs]

I was just about to post a thread about it, but found this!
Absolutely fantastic news! I can't wait to see it again

Looking forward to this, but I share the concern that others have voiced that it will be more of the last two series, with their high production values and that poor excuse for Kochanski who will never match Clare Grogan. Some beautiful lines in the early series...

THE CAT: What? Am I the only sane one here? Why don't we drop the defensive shields?

KRYTEN: A superlative suggestion, sir, with just two minor flaws. One, we don't have any defensive shields, and two, we don't have any defensive shields. Now I realise that, technically speaking, that's only one flaw but I thought it was such a big one it was worth mentioning twice.

THE CAT: (Patting KRYTEN's shoulder) Good point; well made.

THE CAT: Okay, I say let's get into the jet-powered rocket pants and Junior Birdman the hell out of here.

KRYTEN: A brilliant and inventive suggestion, sir, with just two tiny drawbacks, A. we don't have any jet-powered rocket pants, and B. there's no such thing as jet-powered rocket pants outside the fictional serial "Robbie Rocketpants".

THE CAT: Well, that's put a crimp on an otherwise damn fine plan.

[tomTVR]

I think because they were all tragic characters anyway the fact they have aged wont really matter, if the writing is up to scratch then this could be great. Certainly will be watching to find out.
