This was posted by Mr-Stabby at the Doctor Who Forum:
"This is unconfirmed by any media source at the moment, but sources who went to the KCTS 9 Red Dwarf 20th Anniversary show said that Robert Llewelyn was there, and he mentioned this news. It was built up by Robert himself in the promo he did for the channel which is on their website.
Quote from the 'source', though please don't take it as red (pun not actually intended) until it's confirmed.
Quote:
"At the KTCS9 20th Anniversary evening tonight, Robert announced to a small crowd that a brand new, 1 hour Red Dwarf episode had been commissioned by BBC Worldwide, to be filmed in October 2008.
Robert said it will star the original cast.
He would not divulge the storyline except to say that Doug Naylor was finalizing the script.""

I... I'm stunned.
I know this isn't confirmed, and I know Dwarf has had rotten luck so far... but I can't help but be massively excited about this. |

Robert26 at the Doctor Who Forum picked the following up at the Sun (so what you about to read may not be true):
"From "The Sun":
SCI-FI geeks are in for a treat — Red Dwarf is making a comeback.
The cult show’s cast are reuniting for a final hurrah to celebrate a decade since the series ended.
Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat), Robert Llewelyn (Kryten) and Chloe Annett (Kochanski) have all agreed to take part.
Bosses at digital channel Dave have ordered four 30-minute shows for next year, which will take viewers on a trip down memory lane. They will see the stars pull on their old costumes for some original sketches and also feature some of Red Dwarf’s best bits.
Red Dwarf, which centred around the crew of a mining spaceship, ran for eight series on the BBC from 1988 before it was finally axed in 1999." |

Red Dwarf's return has now been confirmed:
http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/?p=2789
It is four episodes with Robert Llewellyn saying that only two of them will be proper new episodes. One of the other two is completely unknown as it is being kept as a surprise and the other is a kind of behind the scenes programme. |
