mcj metroid Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 "Speaking on BBC Radio 2, Craig Charles confirmed that two new series were being produced, and that filming begins in January 2011.[54] Chris Barrie revealed that the new series will be counted as series 10" http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006wr0n So that's pretty much that then. This thread is pretty much dedicated to one of the best comedies you crazy British have come up with. I know on this forum there are a few fans. Anyone who hasn't seen the " back to earth" mess will be wondering why they skipped out season 9 here. It's because.....well back to earth made a mess of things and they probably want to ignore it but overall great show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcj metroid Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Well to be fair I loved how it ended in the series. OK a lot of questions were unanswered but it's bloody hilarious. and also a bit sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Did they confirm which channel it would air on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) mcj metroid is right, there are fans around on here. And guess what, you've found one right here. Now then, this is just the news i've been waiting for. Even though it is expected, and has been for a long time now in my opinion. And if filming is due around January, expect the series around Easter-time (considering B2E took a few weeks to get done) If you shall excuse me, i'm off for a dance around the room in joy. What would make me even more excited is if these 2 series will be made with both Rob Grant and Doug Naylor involved, because we all know how these happen with just one at the helm. Did they confirm which channel it would air on? Probably be Dave, BBC didn't want anything to do with the re-launch last year.

EEVILMURRAY Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hurray! Still haven't seen Back to Earth though. You don't want to. It's wank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 But I do want to just have not missed any episodes. If truly terrible I'll probably just give up in the middle of an episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 You don't want to. It's wank. It's not as bad as many people have made it out to be, but it isn't the best i've seen. It's like i was saying in my first post, if Doug Naylor did the 2 series alone then it wouldn't be as good as we, the fans would expect. He is good at what he does, and yes some of the episodes he wrote and made himself are good, but Red Dwarf needs both writers/creators to make it great.

Jimbob Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Na, we won't. There are too many holes left open throughout the whole sit-com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I actually don't think Back to Earth was that bad...however I do think for the new series to be a success they really need to new writers in namely for the gags, I think the plots are still there to be written...

Guy Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I spoke to a guy called Mr. Rimmer on the phone today. I was afraid learning his first name would shatter a beautiful delusion so I didn't ask. Unfortunately he gave it to me and it was neither Arnold nor Ace. (He was actually a lovely person) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbob Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Was he also a fantastic swimmer? And, was he more reliable than a garden strimmer? (i can see where this is going, so i'll save the hassle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Rimmer: May I remind you all of Space Core Directive 34124? Kryten: 34124. 'No officer with false teeth should attempt oral sex in zero gravity'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViPeR Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I was hoping this day wouldn't come. Being a huge Dwarf fan (series 1-6 anyway) I have to watch it. I just know i'm going to be cringing all the way through. Admittedly BTE was closer to the originals as series 6-7 could ever be but the guys looked uncomfortable in their roles. Basically. Bring back Grant because he can actually write comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
