Red Dwarf Crew Come Back To Earth

[The RealDeal]

Cult comedy Red Dwarf is returning to the small screen this Easter, 21 years since the science fiction series first blasted off.


For eight series, Dave Lister wanted to return to his home planet. Now, at last, he has - in Red Dwarf: Back to Earth.

Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the new show reunites Chris Barrie as Rimmer, Craig Charles as Lister, Danny John-Jules as Cat and Robert Llewellyn as Kryten.

The two-part series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, will kick start a Red Dwarf Easter weekend from Good Friday.

This will be followed by Red Dwarf: Unplugged, a "no holds barred" episode with no sets, no effects - and no autocue.

The weekend will climax with Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind-the-scenes special from the new production.

The offbeat series, set in space, has enjoyed phenomenal success since it first aired in 1988 on BBC2.

It brought in more than eight million viewers for series eight, sold 7.25 million DVD and videos worldwide, broadcast in some 25 territories worldwide and won International Emmy and British Comedy Awards.



I can't wait for this !!

'Red Dwarf' begins filming at set of UK soap Corronation Street!

Filming of two new episodes of cult TV series Red Dwarf began filming over the weekend on the set of Coronation Street.

The two-part special, entitled Red Dwarf: Return To Earth, will see Dave Lister - played by Craig Charles - finally succeed in his desire to make a comeback to his home planet.

As part of the plot, Lister's crew, made up of Rimmer (Chris Barrie), Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) and Cat (Danny John-Jules), go in search of him and instead bump into Charles's Corrie character Lloyd Mullaney in The Rovers Return.

The creators don't often screw with such a good franchise, after a very long absence they can't afford to make it ****e.

Fingers crossed.

do you know him personally ? Factually ?

Probably not, but the fact good old Craig was exposed as a grade A crackhead long ago lends credence to the fact that he may very well be off his ****.

Regarding Craig Charles, after that incident (how many moons ago ?)
He was out of work for quite some time, then he sorted himself out and got back on Corrie as well as a BBC Radio show.

Long may his good health continue.

At least he made an effort unlike other celebs such as Pete Doherty and Amy Winehouse.
