In just a few hours time we can sit down and finally enjoy (subscription to Dave required) the long-awaited new series of Red Dwarf!
The stars of the show (minus Danny John-Jules who is out in Guadeloupe filming a second series of Death in Paradise) recently chatted with Digital Spy about the new show, which drops some of the OTT aspects of the eighth series (and the sci-fi heavy elements of the show since the mid-1990s) and goes “back to basics” with a handful of sets and a live audience.
Chris Barrie considers the new run as “classic Red Dwarf”.
It’s classic Red Dwarf, as we knew it from series one to eight, which I guess the fans are really comfortable with. It could well be some of the best shows we’ve ever made.
To really get you in the mood, here’s a trailer via Digital Spy.
And finally, some sneak peaks…
Red Dwarf X starts tonight with the episode Trojan on Dave (Sky 111, Virgin 128, Freeview 12) at 9pm! For more coverage, Dan Martin’s piece in The Guardian is certainly worth a read.
Christian Cawley is the editor and founder of Cult Britannia, part of the Atomic Media network of sites that also includes www.kasterborous.com, the popular Doctor Who news site.
While not watching British cult TV, Christian enjoys a good read and some classic rock music.
