Red 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.
