So I am a little concerned that Rob Grant won't be returning to make these new episodes with his old co-writer. Seasons 7 and 8, written by just Doug Naylor after the two split, were inferior to the other seasons in my opinion.
It seems strange that they broke their partnership together after such a successful collaboration, and the reasons for the split still seem mostly unknown.
It's publically stated that Grant "just wanted to do something new," but they continued both continued the Red Dwarf novels after Grant stopped the television series- only they each wrote a their own separate sequels to their last cowritten book- deciding to split the Red Dwarf universe rather than attempt to work with each other again.
Seems strange, like something less than amiable must've gone down between the two.

It will be available in Torrent form on the day of its showing. No need to miss it if you cannot receive it.
The Rob Grant split is quite sad, its funny how relationships sometimes go. I'm still very much looking forward to this minor update. Season 7 was pretty weak, but I loved Season 8.

Um... what? Sounds like something I can't get... (Seriously, my step-dad lives in the stone-age)
Also, I totally agree about the whole Doug/Rob thing being a problem. I too didn't like series 7 or 8. Not as funny and too much toilet humour.

Yeah... I am stuck in the 90's... Oh well, I'm sure they'll repeat it again when I DO have access to freeview...

LOVE IT! Especially the last few episodes...the dinosaur with the diarreah attack!! All of them!
I can't decide!! I can't convince any of the public television stations to air them again. I'll just have to purchase the DVD's. Ouroboros with baby Lister in the box touched my heart

I just got an email that sent me HERE. If you follow the links there's eventually a video about the new show. I'm so excited!

The first two seasons were great! i don't think they should make US versions of tv shows, they always seem to mess it up some how
well.. apart from the us version of the weakest link.... that was just plain funny

I love it, I recall once having some real Gazpacho soup just so I could find out what it was like to have cold soup.
I always feel a bit sorry for Rimmer, he seems to try too hard and then mess up everything.
The talking toaster was a good moment in the story.
