Holy sh*t!! Red Dwarf is back!!!!

I was thinking at first they might do some Forest Gump type interaction when I read that. Perhaps time travel.
 
I ain't gonna turn my nose up at anything that involves the whole core cast, even if it is just them reminiscing, although I don't really care about Chloe Annett.

It's such a pity that she's a person with feelings, i would love to be really mean.

What about Stasis Leak?

Dave was told that in 5 years time that he would find a wormhole into the past and then he would go back and Marry Kochanski by the newly wed Lister and Kochanski.

That would involve the use of old footage as they Forrest gump themselves into the old episode and they have to stamp out that other Kochanski who played the part in that episode...
 
I'm just thinking this is probably to be taken with a grain of salt, the original source is The Sun...


Hah, ok right that puts it in a new light. How many Doctor Who rumours have they actually been correct on to date? I'm sure I could count them on one nobbly stump where a hand used to be.

Nice idea! I wouldn't expect anything remotely resembling respect for continuity in Red Dwarf though :lol:

Perhaps they could use this opportunity to finally lay to rest the two appendix issue as well ;)
 
Damn, that doesn't sound too great..

4 episodes (rather than 1) - yay!

4 episodes that are a mix of new and old material - sounds a bit like one of those Simpsons episodes they do when they have run out of budget and just show a lot of rehashed material.

Still, hopefully they will somehow wrap up the massive season 8 cliffhanger..

It's clearly not new episodes from all the reports: it's a superior clips show, like the ones BBC2 has done for The Goodies, Allo Allo, The Frost Report... and other UKTV channels have done for Wogan and Jim'll Fix It.
Might be quite fun. But in no sense will it be season nine.

That's a shame, but it will be nice to see the band back together again in any capacity.
 
Really? More than they get wrong?

From my brief forays into the DW forum, it always seems as though there is a fairly steady stream of bonkers tabloid rumours about that show.

There is, but it's playing a numbers game, guess so many times and you have to get something right. :lol:
 
IIRC the 3 rumours that were right for season 4 were Rose returning, Davros returning and the Doctor's kid appearing.

although Davros was supposedly going to be played by (Sir) Ben Kingsley and the Doctor's kid was supposedly going to be a son and would be used to replace the Doctor when the regens ran out...

I love that episode but I thought perhaps these events might have been wiped since they decided not to use time travel device in Season 7.
 
My theory: there will indeed be a 60 minute special with all new footage and story. While they are filming the special, they will also film some footage to act as wrap arounds for these clip show things, similar to the previous "Smeg Ups/Outs" collections of the past.
 
New material mixed with old material? Sounds suspiciously like the 'new' episode of 'Allo 'Allo! they did last year. René and co met up in the cafe and talked for a bit, reminscing, via flashbacks/clips, about their times together in the war.

Sounds more like a tenth anniversary thing. A year late. Typical Dwarf :D

10th? 20th isn't it?

Well, they've just missed the 20th anniversary of Series I. However, next year would be perfect for a 10 year reunion, since Series VIII ended in 1999.

Personally, I wish that the BBC would reconsider doing a proper Series IX. I mean, this show was the #1 show on BBC2 for years. How can they say no to a revival?
 
Or like in the final episode of Seinfeld, not that they already didn't do this in Justice... but if they were on trial for being dopey no hopers? that warrants clip after clip mixed in with new clips, as they try to justify their existence...

We can see maybe the bronze medal sperm which didn't quite make it to Kochanski's womb before the other two started putting their feet up and having a breather.
 
Perhaps they could use this opportunity to finally lay to rest the two appendix issue as well ;)

I figure that could already be addressed with all the time travel hoo-ha in "Time Slides." (After all, we already know that Rimmer's interference created an alternate timeline in which he didn't die with the rest of the Red Dwarf crew. Who knows what other minor changes it might have made to his & Lister's personal histories?)
 
^ I don't think so. IIRC, the 1st time we heard about Lister getting his appendix removed was in "Thanks for the Memory" in Series II. (After Lister transferred some of his memories to Rimmer, Rimmer now remembered getting HIS appendix removed twice since Lister's implanted memories conflicted with his real memories.) The 2nd incident was in Series VI when Legion removed Lister's appendix in "Legion." Both of these are before Lister had his arm rebuilt by Kryten's nanites in "Nanarchy."
 
The nanobots rebuilt his appendix when they made him a new arm at the end of season 7. Does that help?

Alas, no, as the duplicate appendix removals happened in Season 2 and Season 6, so before the nanobots had a go at rebuilding Lister's body. A valiant attempt, though.

Me, I choose to believe that Lister had two appendices to begin with, as a result of being an incestuous freak of nature. :cool:

Fictitiously yours, Trent Roman
