It's finally coming back :D after being stuck on that bloody cliffhanger for 10 years (which is really scary when you think about it)

From RedDwarf.co.uk

Doug Naylor will be masterminding the four half-hour instalments, and the regular cast will all be reprising their iconic roles. They are being made by GNP for UKTV's free-to-air channel, Dave - our new best friends!

Red Dwarf repeats on Dave - including an anniversary weekend run - have picked up remarkable numbers since the channel was reborn on Freeview, and it's becoming clear to all concerned that the show is picking a new, third generation audience. With the usual involvement from Red Dwarf partners BBC Worldwide, you can also expect international broadcasts to follow (and, we'd imagine, a top-quality DVD release in the fullness of time).

"It's very new news to me - I really only fully heard the details yesterday," Robert told comedian/host Michael McIntyre. "We're doing four new shows with the original cast. Two of them are going to be, like, proper episodes of Red Dwarf. One of them is so exciting I've been asked not to say anything about that because other people will steal the idea - and it is a great idea, quite challenging for us as performers. And the other one is a kind of behind-the-scenes-y... the truth. There's been so many rumours and gossip about Red Dwarf, about whether there's going to be a movie and whether we all get on, all those things... The downside for me, which is just dawning on me now, is I've got to do the 'rubber' thing again, which I haven't done for ten years."

For the record, and direct from the makers, the details of the four shows right now - while wholly subject to change - are:
Show One - The Making Of The Specials
A highly entertaining look at what goes on behind the scenes on a Red Dwarf production.
Show Two - Red Dwarf Special: Part One
The cast get back into character, and costume, a decade on...
Show Three - Red Dwarf Special: Part Two
The adventure continues...
Show Four - A Clip Show With a Serious Difference
The cast do it their way. Red Dwarf as you have never, ever seen it before!

The shows will broadcast sometime in 2009 and, if successful, could pave the way for further Red Dwarf TV projects. Thanks to movie and broadcaster wrangles, Grant Naylor haven't been in a position to produce new Red Dwarf since Series VIII went out to audiences of over eight million in 1999. This exciting development suggests a new and shiny future for everyone's favourite sci-fi comedy.

The Boys from the Dwarf are back!

In June 2006 a photograph was printed in the Daily Mirror newspaper that purported to show Charles smoking crack cocaine in the back seat of a taxi. According to the story by writer Stephen Moyes, Charles spent four hours in the taxi smoking crack cocaine from an old drinks can, while instructing the driver to buy him pornography.[4]

I had no idea. :horror

Cat looks like a homeless guy.

it gets worse :lol

Red Dwarf star Daniel John-Jules is led away by police yesterday over claims he brandished a samurai sword at two binmen.The 47-year-old, who played The Cat in the cult BBC comedy show, was arrested in his dressing gown outside his home.
Witnesses claimed John-Jules went berserk during an apparent row about his recycling with the refuse collectors.
 
I don't know why you think this is a bad idea Slug, this would make the show even funnier, just lock the four of them in the Star Bug set and film them big brother style :lol
 
:banana:banana:banana

This is the greatest news ever! And I couldn't care less what the actors do on their own time, so long as the show brings the funny. And that Chloe Annett still looks hot (she does, right?).

One of my all-time favourite shows. That's where I got my screen name, from the episode Queeg.
 
Really really looking forward to this! Used to love Red Dwarf when I was a kid! :banana
 
Rimmer had gone into the mirror universe in order to find the cure to the virus that was eating away at Red Dwarf. When he got back, everyone was gone, the ship was falling apart and the formula he had written down to cure the virus got burned.

Top Gear = Made out of ^^^^!

Victor Lewis Smith said it best :D

So did no one else watch this over the weekend ?

Just finished watching the third part and if it is the final Red Dwarf is a great way to send it off (even if they didn't explain the cliffhanger at the end of series 8)

really funny, some really nice emotional moments and a hell of a lot of references to Blade Runner :D
