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.

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?

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.

The episode titles of the upcoming Red Dwarf series X have been revealed.

Robert Llewellyn (Kryten) announced the six titles of the new episodes on his official blog yesterday (August 22).

The titles are as follows:

1. Trojan

2. Fathers and Suns

3. Lemons

4. Entangled

5. Dear Dave

6. The Beginning

The final episode's title mirrors the long-running sitcom's first ever episode 'The End', hinting that the show may be heading for some form of rounded climax.

Llewellyn wrote: "Due to upcoming press junkets and associated gubbins relating to the small rouge one, I have been refreshing my addled memory by watching the new series of Red Dwarf in a secure cold-war bunker under the M4.

"I could try and be all self deprecating and depressed because I don't want to raise your hopes too much, but I just can't do that. Red Dwarf X is way better than I ever dared hope.

"I truly believe you are going to love it!"

Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Llewellyn and Danny John-Jules will all return to the much loved sci-fi series later this year.

Red Dwarf will premiere its latest series on Dave in the autumn.

First: Only on Dave?

Second: I loved Red Dwarf but thought it ended a long time ago. I have the Red Dwarf: The Complete Collection DVDs that was released in 2006.

Third: Guess us Americans who love this show will have to wait for a DVD release. in 2013-14. :(

    • Sony announces Bungie layoffs that will affect "significant number of employees"

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Back in March, Sony increased PlayStation 5 prices, and now, it's Microsoft's turn. Today, the company announced a major price increase that will affect all of its Xbox consoles, and one storage option is being discontinued entirely. There is some time before the new prices go into effect. Starting on August 1, 2026, any Xbox Series X|S model with 512GB of storage will cost $100 more than now. The price of 1TB models will go up by $150 instead. At the same time, all 2TB models are being discontinued. "The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles," said the company. "Unlike phones, computers, speakers, and other consumer devices, consoles are typically not sold at a profit, but instead for less than they cost to make." As the hikes hit, Microsoft is beginning to offer more options to make its consoles more accessible to potential customers, including financing, buy now, pay later schemes, and refurbished options: Buy Now, Pay Later: We’ve made it easier for players to use Buy Now, Pay Later options on eligible XBOX hardware purchases through Microsoft Stores, making it possible to break up your payment into predictable short-term, interest-free installments. Interest-Free Financing: Players purchasing eligible XBOX hardware through Amazon can take advantage of 0% APR financing for up to 12 months, giving players more flexibility with lower monthly payments and more budgeting control. Previously Played Consoles: We are working with retail partners on new programs to provide previously played consoles at lower prices. Players who are ready to upgrade or no longer use their console will be able to trade it in with participating retail partners for cash or store credit. Those consoles will then be made available at lower prices for players. Certified Refurbished Consoles: XBOX Certified Refurbished Consoles are available at Microsoft Stores for up to US$100 off MSRP. Microsoft said that the rising cost of storage and memory prices is behind this decision, with costs going up by over 2.5 times since the last time it raised prices of its consoles. The company says these parts are expected to double in price by the fall of 2027.
