Red Dwarf to return

[King Ellis]

Yea, the other month I saw Robert Llwellyn's (Kryten) twitter and he said he was filming. That and his rant on Top Gear.

[Cactus Drags]

Red Dwarf is awesome, barring season 8. There's still a few gaps I need to fill in, largely seasons 4-6, I'm not sure exaclty how many I've seen. I'm in two minds about the special, if it's going to carry on from series 8, it'll probably blow, but if they're going to make a concerted effort to return it to its former self, I'd be interested. I need to read the books, I've only read two I think. Better Than Life and...something else >_>

The no holds barred thing just sounds like a daft gimmick though, unless I'm missing something.

Oh Rimmer, you've probably fared the worst of the lot. >_>

Shit holosuit, though. Maybe it'll look better under studio lighting.

[ZJ Penn]

That's exactly what I thought. To steal a phrase from a comedian I can't remember, he looks like he just stepped off an old Bond movie.

Craig Charles looks surprisingly good though.

They'll have to come up with some reason for holograms aging

Great setting though, looks like they've taken it outside the fire escape from the Brittas Empire or something...

They actually filmed at least one scene on the Coronation Street set and had one of the actors from that make a cameo.

Craig Charles?

[K]

I think rimmer looks fucking brilliant now he's gone all gray, he looks even more weasely and anal

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Okay...In that shot Craig Charles don't look so good but Danny John Jules can still pull of The Cat I think.

Still, I'd rather see him in a return of:

Maid Marion and Her Merry Men

bahah, Craig Charles looks fine. Black men get classier looking with age.

fuck, I forgot about Maid Marion, that show was awful.

I remember that being awful, but there was definitely a hot chick playing someone, can't remember if it was actually Marion.

[KoA]

I will definitely watch this; although I'm concerned that it may turn out to be something of a disappointment. :/

30 second preview

From the article beneath and the clip itself this looks like it could be appalling

[darkrayne]

Wow its been ten years already since it ended? God am i getting old...

I wonder if ill get to see it here in the US sometime soon?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yup, the clip looks like the kind of stupid episode of a show that is made especially for something like Comic Relief. This is not a good thing.

EPIC FUCKING WIN~!

And yeah I'm filled with dread seeing that preview

[Colly]

Have any of the people slating Maid Marion actually seen it? For kids TV it was fucking ace, and frankly stands up rather well against most of the beebs modern sitcoms these days. Ignoring Danny John Jules already have we forgotten the aceness of Tony Robinson. Spooners.

Back on vague topic, would I be right in saying the general drop in quality started when Rob Grant left Doug Naylor to it? Much in the same way that the IT Crowd is alright, but nowhere near the standard of Father Ted due to only having one of the original writers? I believe its officially called the Dirty Pretty Things effect.

Tony Robinson made that series. Although they needed a better Robin.....that guy sucked even when I was 8

I love Maid Marion. Probably one of the best five kids shows from my mid-childhood that weren't Franco-Japanese cartoons.
