Wait what... a NEW series being aired on DAVE?!!

[n_K]

So they went back to earth, saw loads of people, but somehow next episode they've all maraciously died, or maybe they realised that dave's original series was a load of crap compared to the original BBC series...

And I have to say, looking at that trailer, it doesn't look set to be any better. Red Dwarf was excellent, and that just looks like another awful attempt to resurrect a dead horse. Hope I'm wrong, but it looks abysmal.

I love Red Dwarf but that special was really awful. I didn't realise that was also produced by Dave.

I read on the offical blog that the Cat's hair is a wig, if he'd gone grey why no dye?

You seem to have missed the plot in back to earth. Did you even watch it? They didn't actually go back to earth, it was all a hallucination brought on by the female version of the despair squid in their water tanks that Cat had brought on board.

And abysmal how? Sure it wasn't as good as most of the prior series, but it wasn't "abysmal" in my opinion?

At the end of Series 8, the last we saw of Rimmer, he was alive so could have aged then died thus explaining his appearance in this and that Back to Earth crap.

I'm up for any Red Dwarf. Lost count the number of times I've watched the BBC originals.

Luckily, they've brought back the canned laughter.

If anything I am encouraged by what I see here. It looks more like the old red dwarf, feels more like the old red dwarf and contains the old red dwarf style jokes. Hopefully it will be shot in a similar manner to the first 8 series, the CGI in the Dave special just made it feel very un-RD like to me.

Its not canned, this new series was filmed in front of a live audience!

[PsYcHoKiLLa]
