Back to Earth at Ten
Everything that's happened in the last decade - not just the three glorious full series of Red Dwarf that we've enjoyed, but other Dave originals such as Taskmaster, Go 8-Bit and Modern Life is Goodish - can be traced back to the decision to take the plunge into producing Back to Earth.
Red Dwarf Website, 12th April 2019Here's a happy resurrection! Nine years after Red Dwarf (Dave) ended, it has been revived as an Easter trilogy. It was always a wonderfully funny and touching idea.
