Iconic BBC comedy series to return to screens - 36yrs after first episode


A series of new episodes are coming later this year with the main cast all returning to their former roles in a move that has delighted the show's fanbase

Cult sci-fi classic Red Dwarf is coming back to TV with yet more space adventures, 35 years after it first made stars of Chris Barrie, Craig Charles and Danny John-Jules. Red Dwarf was a huge hit for the BBC throughout the 90s, showcasing the space adventures of Dave Lister, played by Craig Charles, who wakes up after three million years in suspended animation to find out the rest of the crew on his ship were killed. This leaves him alone in outer space except for the hologram of his former bunkmate Rimmer, the ship's computer Holly, android Kryten, and a creature evolved from what was his pet cat, played by Strictly star Danny John-Jules.
