Red Dwarf Returns In a 3-Part Showing

Posted by timothy on from the parts-the-first-through-third dept.

Logrusweaver writes "It looks like Red Dwarf is finally returning! Red Dwarf: Back to Earth is airing in 3 parts in the UK starting this Friday. It seems to be a 3-parter followed by a 'Making Of' special. Not trying to give away any more of the plot than the title does, but it does involve the crew finally returning to Earth. (Just hope it's not a bombed out planet with 'space angels' running around...)"

  1. British TV and the feign of class by BadAnalogyGuy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Unlike the US, British television is very limited. Hence, when a standout show comes along, it really takes off. Sometimes the show is incredibly good and breaks across cultural boundaries like Monty Python's Flying Circus. Other times the standout show simply can't compete with American television, like Absolutely Fabulous.

    So how about Red Dwarf? It has lots of fans, but if it were to be played on American network TV, how well would it fare?
