TV series Red Dwarf, set to return.

[Paul Humble]

Fantastic show, only problem I ever had with it was in the later series the budget increased and they started using a better method of filming. The picture never quite looked as good after.

quote :

The new two-part series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will be followed by a “no holds barred” episode without sets, special effects or autocue.

Talk about spoiling the end!! lol

Great show – Let’s hope Ace Rimmer makes an appearance too – he must be my favorite character.

Looking forward to seeing the program when it is aired.

THE CLASSIC IS BACK 😀

RD was of course, responsible for some of the most poignant lyrics of the late 20th Century…

It’s cold outside, there’s no kind of atmosphere.
I’m all alone, more or less.
Let me fly, far away from here.
Fun, fun, fun. In the sun, sun, sun.

I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose.
Drinking fresh mango juice.
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes.
Fun, fun, fun. In the sun, sun, sun.

[Nigel Pugh]

Looking forward to the "unplugged" version they will be doing, no scenery, no effects & no autocue.

Gonna be a long Easter weekend 😀

overview from here shane

http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/index.cfm

On the mining ship Red Dwarf, professional slob Dave Lister works as a technician with his immediate superior and bunkmate, the officious Arnold Rimmer. To say that Rimmer and Lister don’t get on would be like saying that high doses of radiation aren’t entirely good for you.

Quite a coincidence, then, that a radiation leak picks this moment to wipe out Red Dwarf’s crew.

Having smuggled his pregnant pet cat onto the ship, Lister is imprisoned in stasis – suspended animation – and so has no idea that his crew-mates, including love interest Kristine Kochanski, are being blasted into sherbet.

Lister is woken three million years later. Holly, the ship’s computer, redirected the ship out of the solar system as soon as the accident happened, and then had to wait for the radiation to reach a safe background level.
To keep Lister company Holly resurrects Rimmer as a hologram. He can’t touch anything, but he’s as irritating as ever.

To everyone’s surprise the team is soon joined by a humanoid animal evolved from Lister’s pet cat. The shallow, self-involved creature is cleverly named ‘Cat’.

After a year or so of drifting back through space, beginning the three million year journey home, the crew encounter Kryten – a servile mechanoid who thinks the phrase Cleanliness is next to godliness understates the importance of cleanliness.

In the following years Holly changes his gender from male to female (and back again), the crew misplace Red Dwarf and spend some time stranded on the small transport vehicle Starbug, Rimmer leaves to become an inter-dimensional space hero, a version of Kochanski appears from another dimension and, eventually, the entire crew of Red Dwarf are resurrected by nanobots.

And if you think that sounds complicated, just be glad we didn’t get started on all the time-travel stuff that goes on…
Hope that clears things up
