The return of Red Dwarf
The return of the cult TV sitcom was as much of a surprise to the cast as to the fans - but a very welcome one.
Bruce Dessau, The Times, 30th March 2009The A to Z of Red Dwarf
Sci-fi fans are in for a special Easter treat, with cult series Red Dwarf making a one-off comeback on digital station Dave - 21 years after its first episode. The Times looks over the key elements.
Simon Crerar, The Times, 30th March 2009Red Dwarf - Ready For Another Blast Off?
So will it be a safe return or a crash landing? It's a long time and tastes have moved on. Red Dwarf has a large, devoted following, but this can be both a blessing and a curse.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 30th January 2009Red Dwarf voyages back to Earth
Cult comedy Red Dwarf is returning to TV, 21 years after its initial launch.
BBC News, 27th January 2009Red Dwarf provided some of the most original and funny sci-fi comedy of the 80s and 90s, and still stands out today as one of the best (eight) series ever to grace UK screens. OK, maybe it lost its way a little towards the end, but even when it was bad, it was still good. So it's with a tear in my eye and a stupid grin on my face that I greet the news that Dave (the channel, not the bloke) is to host a Red Dwarf special over Easter Weekend to include a brand new 2-part story which sees Lister finally get his wish to return to Earth.
John Beresford, TV Scoop, 27th January 2009Back in the Red - Do We Care?
After much scuttlebutt and gossip over the last few months, the details of the Red Dwarf one-off reunion special have been released... But honestly - and search deep for this - does anybody really care?
Mark Wright, The Stage, 27th January 2009Smoke me a kipper, Red Dwarf's back
Well smeg me! After years of whispers, leaked press reports, aborted movie proposals, crackpot building shows, recurring roles in Coronation Street and a mining vessel full of public demand, it's finally happening. Red Dwarf is coming back.
Dan Martin, The Guardian, 27th January 2009Return of the Red Dwarf space cats
No, it's not a hologram - Red Dwarf will soon be back on our TV screens. The Independent celebrates the anarchic appeal of the cult hit.
