Check out this press release regrading the relaunch of RED DWARF, one the UK’s most popular long-running sitcoms, which returns to TV this October with its first full series for 13 years.
Legendary sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf returns for its 10th series re-uniting the much loved original cast of Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat) and Robert Llewellyn (Kryten).
Space battles, quantum entanglement, and love triangles with snack dispensers, are just some of problems facing the boys as they return in Red Dwarf X.
The brand new series, written and directed by Doug Naylor, begins with the Dwarfers’ mining ship still creaking though the wastelands of unchartered deep space, but the posse soon stumble upon the mysteriously abandoned SS Trojan. As they inspect the ship, Rimmer (Chris Barrie) receives an SOS distress call from an old foe and is suddenly faced with the dilemma of his life.
Throughout the series Lister (Craig Charles) grapples with the problem of being his own father, gets involved in a love triangle with snack dispensers 23 and 34, while Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) and Cat (Danny John-Jules) become quantum entangled forcing them to do everything in unison. The posse also find themselves marooned in 23 AD where they rescue a famous historical figure with a beard.
Show six, The Beginning, finds the boys surrounded by a Simulant War Cruiser and its fleet of attack ships. Armed with only two forks and a pencil sharpener, the Dwarfers begin to wonder whether this is the beginning of the end. Only one man can save them. Unfortunately that man is Arnold J Rimmer.
Red Dwarf X is available to download from 5th October 2012 and is on DVD from 19th November following its six part run on Dave and Dave HD.
