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...)"

    This weekend the Beeb is going to serve up a treet, the next Doctor Who, Planet of the Dead .

    I notice that there is also A Weakest Link Dr Who Special - not sure about that, I can't stand Anne Robinson.

    It's been a few years since I saw it, but I remember a pre-DS9 Terry Farrell playing Cat, and she had the killer line: "Maybe someday I'll find the right eight or nine guys, then I'll settle down." Classic!

    Original bit from the UK series:

    Around 2:40 in.

    Look at the notable members of the Footlights (Cambridge) and The Oxford Revue. The lists cover a fairly significant number of Britain's famous comedians from the last few decades. I couldn't find anything similar for Harvard or Yale, but admittedly that could be simply because I knew where to look for the British ones.

    My local public broadcasting station used to carry British comedies on Saturday evenings; Black Adder, Red Dwarf, Fawlty Towers, Are You being Served.

    The weird thing was immediately after those shows...they'd run the Red Green Show.
