General / Off-Topic Red Dwarf is...back?

Caramel Clown · Jun 19, 2016

How in the name of everything holy I didn't know they are going to continue Red Dwarf, with the same cast more or less? According to some interviews, actors themselves think they are actually making show great again.
Should we have high hopes? Personally I'm very excited.

It was/is an interesting concept really.

Normally, in any series, the biggest problem is continuity.

Red Dwarf got around that by deliberately ignoring it.

Chris Barrie has some things to say about the latest project.

It's nice to see that they've had plenty of time to do these shows this time. Watching the documentary for Series X, it became very apparent that Doug didn't have enough time to write all of the episodes before filming started.

Mind you, when you're up against it, sometimes you come up with your best work.

Hmm, I sorta lost interest in the show a while back. I think it was the one where they made it to Earth? Or did I imagine that?

I don't recall every episode or very many to be honest, but I'm pretty sure they made it to Earth quite a number of times.

That's awesome. The previous season from Dave hit the mark just about perfectly. I look forward to seeing how they go from there

I have to admit - I used to call my T6 "Starbug 1"....

What would the Dave channel do without Red Dwarf?

Has to be back, I think it was a really good idea for Grant and Naylor to take time out, because when they come back fresh they tend to be firing on all cylinders: really looking forward to it. It'sa great series let's face it with very few if no bad episodes.

I press my knuckle to my head in expectation, and order Gazpacho soup.
