That's right. You heard correct. After the massive success of Red Dwarf: Back to Earth, we're bringing back the sci-fi sitcom for even more intergalactic adventures next year.
Ah 2009. Barack Obama became the 44th US president, Roger Federer scored a record 15th Grand Slam at Wimbledon and churchy virgin Susan Boyle stunned the world by being able to sing. But perhaps the most historic event in that monumental year was the return of Red Dwarf on Dave.
Red Dwarf : Back to Earth saw the iconic cast reunited in three special episodes that found them finally returning to their home planet, only to discover that they were now characters in a TV show called, er... "Red Dwarf".
It was a mind-blowing success, premiering with 2.7million viewers, so we're bringing back the show for a full length series in 2012. More details to follow and, of course, we'll be keeping you up to date with all the latest news from the Red Dwarf X production right here on joindave.co.uk so - hey - don't be a stranger.

Well that surprises me but thanks for the info... maybe they should tone the volume level down a bit then. It just seems more annoying in Dwarf X.
its not canned it was a live studio audiance
Like the new series and thanks BUT ... HATE THE BL??DY CANNED LAUGHTER. Been a Dwarf fan since the beginning. Do NOT need canned morons telling me when to laugh. Also who the hell did Krytons head ! Make up person needs to get a better job.
I can't take no more..... Please when is the new series of red dwarf coming on screen? Can't wait aaarrrrhh.
That is great news. I hope all goes to plan I would like to see Holly back at some point and the laughter as well. I enjoyed the last series alot and am very thankful that you decided to bring it back after so many years it is scary how Danny (Cat) did not seem to have aged Anyway a hugh thanks to Dave :)

WooHoo...smoke me a kipper...Read it on Red Dwarfs own site first and then came here to comment....Talkie Toaster??? Holly? please!!! I'll let you spin my nipplenuts and send me to alaska if they make it back on the show !!!!
Best news since BtE! Thanks a million Dave can't wait roll on October 2012! :D
Fantastic news, and great that its a full 6 part series. Seriously cant wait now. Series V and VI were my all time favourites so anything like them would be amazing.
- Six 30-minute episodes will make up the series. - Pre-production October - Shooting November to January [probably with an audience!] - Broadcast September 2012 - Model shots would be preferred, but cost could be an issue. - Hattie possible returning as Holly - Talkie Toaster could be back haha!
Please please please more more more :)

was chuft to bits with dave showing all new eps of rd im sucha dwarfer smeggin gr8
Just please say its going to get a longer timeslot. Taking into consideration the ad breaks, back to earth was about 20 mins an episode which just wasn't enough for the 3 specials considering how much storyline needed to be crammed in.
TBH, those three shows were awful. If you do more, could you up return to earlier quality, please. Ta.
wooo..give us a new series!!lol
I don't want to hear it on joindave.co.uk first, I want to hear it from Grant Naylor Productions. As do everyone in Dwarf fandom. It's lovely that you're wanting to broadcast more Dwarf, but wind your flipping necks in.

Dear Dave, Please commission a new series of Red Dwarf, it would be amazing!
I was at Dimension Jump XV on 9-11 October where I heard Andrew Ellard quote from a message from Doug Naylor that Dave have commissioned Doug to write 6 new Red Dwarf scripts. Not quite a promise of a new series... but promising anyway!
