I don’t know how this escaped my notice, but Red Dwarf is coming back! The good news first came to my attention through the Guardian website, and believing it was too good to be true, I checked out Dave, the producer of the new show, and its definitely true. Shooting is currently underway, so there won’t be a repeat of the Red Dwarf film debacle, where fans were left expectant for years. Two new episodes are being filmed, along with some improvised episodes (sounds interesting) and a making of featurette.

And in case your wondering, it’s the exact same cast as the original. Hurrah!
