Red Dwarf

Red Dwarf - Oh Yes, They're Smegging Back!

One of my favourite shows, Red Dwarf, is back with some new stuff this Easter Weekend! Yes! Will the new episodes sit alongside classics and my personal favourites such as "Back To Reality", "Gunmen of the Apocalypse" and "Meltdown"? Should be fun finding out.



The cast are to reunite for a new two-part storyline which will see them finally return to Earth. Back to Earth will air on UKTV digital channel Dave.

It will sit alongside two further new episodes, an 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.

Chris Barrie will return as Rimmer, Craig Charles as Lister, Danny John-Jules as Cat and Robert Llewellyn as Kryten, with the new storyline written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor.

Red Dwarf originally launched on BBC2 in 1988 and went on to air for eight series and 52 episodes, as well as a number of specials
