From the BBC:

Red Dwarf voyages back to Earth

Cult comedy Red Dwarf is returning to TV, 21 years after its initial launch.

The show has been resurrected by digital channel Dave for a two-part Easter weekend special, which sees the cast finally return to Earth.

Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the new show reunites the line-up, including Coronation Street’s Craig Charles.

...

The new two-part series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will be followed by a “no holds barred” episode without sets, special effects or autocue.

The weekend will climax with Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind-the-scenes special from the new episodes.

aren’t they getting old yet?

[null and void]

Not with Cold Sleep...

...although Holly has lost his hair.

[BlazingArizona]

Bloody stasis leak!

[anniegetyourgun]

No way - everybody’s dead, Dave.

[ApplegateRanch]

Well!

After wading through link after link, reading 5 separate web pages, fully informing myself of all the relevant facts of the matter, it is too late to make use of my new found knowledge to join in the discussion, because all the discussants have moved on, like a giant red mining ship drifting through the limitless dark light years of cyberspace.

However, what I did learn is that there is a show, really a set of shows...well, at least a new set of episodes of ONE show...that will be played on a channel not available to audiences in the United States; and, that there may or may not still be a movie based on said show, which I have been patiently waiting for for eight smegging years, and which still may or may not be made; but might someday be shown in a theater I can not possibly get to.

That, I believe, is the relevant gist of the entire sad state of affairs, vis a vis your pitifully inadequate posting.

Now, since you have so moved me to high hopes, only to see them dashed down into immeasurable depths of despair and gloom, please excuse me while I go cry into my chicken vindaloo...assuming the damned food dispenser still has any left.

A VHS copy of the episode, along with a tea cozy is available at the $300 dollar level...

[FreeManWhoCan]

A very funny show. I remember my favorite episode being Orobouros.

[LifeComesFirst]

Sen-smegging-sational! Thanks for the post!

[SuperLuminal]

Fantastic! I’ve been waiting years for this to happen.
some of the best to ever come from the BBC.

[SuperLuminal]

Actually it’s more like 2,000,000 years.

[camle]

thanx fer the ping, but when is it gonna be available to wee in CT?

[Glenn]

There’s a pimp involved?

[SoothingDave]

I suggest you start calling your local PBS station. ;-)

[Salgak]

I suggest you check your local BitTorrent Tracker. . .

[Alkhin]

Thanks Nully! I was wondering what that wibbly wobbly swirly thing was...look out for the taranshulas!!

[null and void]

Your understanding is complete.

Popadum?

[null and void]

There’s a pimp involved?

Only for the Virgin TV...

[ApplegateRanch]

Popadum?

Yes, we have them. Would you like it toasted? They are tricky, but I'm up to it! I can toast anything...even the main control panel.

[Othniel]

Patience, patience, fellow traveler. The episode will be available soon, through our PBS/British TV outlet....soon. Along with the *official* Dwayne Dibbly Action Kit: False teeth, wig, thermous, dorky sweater, and plastic shoes.....

I eat chicken vindaloos because of that show....

[ApplegateRanch]

I eat chicken vindaloos because of that show....

And I serve toast. Would you like some toast? White? Whole wheat? Sourdough? Pumpernickel? Perhaps a bagel? Rye...I have Jewish, Russian, ...?

[Grizzled Bear]

Keep CAT out but listen intently to the toaster.

But what about Duane Dibbley?

[Grizzled Bear]

You need to relax. We’re going to get through this. Have a beer milkshake.

[null and void]

The Duke of Dork?

[Grizzled Bear]

I’m tongue tied...

[Billthedrill]

Well, that’s never happened before...

[ApplegateRanch]

You’re fine; how am I?

Saint Dibbley be with you, while I kipper a toast for the mourning.

It isn’t easy having an IQ of 3,500 Cats.

[Grizzled Bear]

Look, I don’t want any toast, and he doesn’t want any toast. In fact, no one around here wants any toast. Not now, not ever. No toast.

[ApplegateRanch]

Okay. No toast. Got it. How about a nice warm bun? Not toasted, just warmed nicely, with some butter and honey melted on it?

[Grizzled Bear]

OR buns! We don’t LIKE buns ‘round here! We want no buns, no toast, no teacakes, no muffins, baps, baguettes or bagels, no croissants, no crumpets, no pancakes, no potato cakes and no hot-cross buns! And DEFINITELY. NO. SMEGGIN’. FLAPJACKS!

[ApplegateRanch]

LOL!

Toast isn't everything.

I just got an upgrade, so I can also do eggs...

[usmcobra]

I toast there fore I am....

[Grizzled Bear]

See? You see what he’s like? He winds me up, man. There’s no reasoning with him.

[Professional Engineer]

Thanks for the ping Smeghead.

[usmcobra]

I’m downloading it now....
