Red Dwarf 10 Announced
- Thread starter Bob The Skutter
- Start date
But the difference is, when the show did those things, it was actually FUNNY.
OK I did not think of that
Man... so conflicted. This would be like if the TNG crew decided to reunite to make more TNG episodes. On the one hand, yay more TNG, on the other hand... god, more TNG.
Well, I'll watch and buy the discs anyway. I still wanted to buy the remastered DVDs but I don't think they made it over to R1 land.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I think. It's Red Dwarf so I'll watch, but I don't have much hope for it.
Same here.
I just hope that it's better than the bag of shite that was "Back To Earth".
http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2010/06/red-dwarf-is-coming-back-say-c.html looks like 2 series and airing in 2011.
Very cool to hear this.
I had half expected this to happen after watching Back to Earth and I said so at the time that it was effectively a way forward for a new series (as well as a testbed to confirm the old gang could still do it). Great to see, and I will be looking forward to it very much so!

It was confirmed they were in talks with BBC Worldwide/Dave about it at Dimension Jump but no actual confirmation they were happening, just rumours, apparently.
I think it's alright if you have lower expectations. I think most fans thought they would get something amazing based on years of waiting.
Certainly I thought the Coronation Street cameo would have been more epic than it actually was.
I wonder if we will see that silly green car again.
Didn't the writer buy it out of his own pocket? Got to get his money worth out of it.

Didn't they auction it off afterwards?
Just found a story about it here.

Don't know how much it went for hopefully he got his money back so he can afford to hire some writing staff to help him this time.
Is Rob Grant pretty much done with Red Dwarf?
Has been since series 6 ended, he said he didn't want "He did Red Dwarf" on his headstone. He's written a few novels and now he's apparently decided to be a stand up comedian.
Hrm, Wikipedia mentions that he did something for the remastered DVDs... I figured that Naylor would have been able to get him to come back after all these years.
Well, I guess best we can hope for that Naylor does better this time.

I didn't think Back to Earth was really the abomination, the tragedy, the sheer assualt to the good taste of the viewer that most of the reactionaries see it as..
Sure, it wasn't the best or funniest Red Dwarf ever, but as someone else pointed out upthread, had it been just a regular story told within a proper full season no one would have batted an eyelid.
And, well, it looks like it has lead to new series of Dwarf being commisioned by the BBC. This is surely a positive thing?
I know I know, not if the writing isn't spectacular or the series doesn't re-capture the brilliance of it's youth - but you know what? That's a romantic view of the show. In reality, RD rarely lived up to this hyped up romanticised view of itself. Sure, it was brilliant and terribly funny at times, but not all the time, not constantly.
So I, for one, welcome this news and can't wait for more from the Boys from the Dwarf..
