I have heard that the BBC has keep back the last serves of red dwaft and the film (which is already made) because some off the presenters have falling out with the BBC, and there are holding them back?
I see it so often on message boards, but never seem to understand why if a thread hasn't been replied to within a couple of hours, the OP posts again to try and encourage a response.
There is no movie or 9th series of Red Dwarf nothing.....
Funding for the movie is never going to happen but Doug Naylor in the Series 8 DVD extras says that he now knows the movie is never going to happen he will spend one more year on the last roll of the dice. Failure means he goes to the BBC and ask for a 9th series instead.
After what will be an 8 year gap!!! but still very much welcomed I think
IMHO it should now be left alone and seen as one of the BBC great classics.
The last series severly spoilt the premise and feel of the show and if anything it was one series too far (although I do enjoy watching the dancings ships - a dream sequence in either episode 2 or 3 of the series!!)

You can't just leave it at the end of series 8, though it would be a novel way to end, on a cliffhanger. I presume that Doug knows what happens, and has everything planned, and presumebly a 9th series would be totally different, following the end of series 8.
They really should, if series 7 and 8 are any indication of what series 9 would be like. Unless they get the other writer back (whichever one he was) it should be left on the shelf.
God, people don't like change do they.
Shouldn't be left, its still brilliant. God. If they make a series 9, don't fret the earlier series won't be touched or wiped from history. Series 9 and 10 here we come.
Film, highly unlikely.
The story has to come to an end in some way, it would be entirely fitting for series 9 to end with Lister returning to Earth with Kochanski. It was the main premise of the show in the first place! Of course if they do that, it would have to be Claire Grogan and not Chloe Annet.

I agree. In fact, they probably should have ended it in 1993 at the end of series 6, with the cliffhanger where Starbug was destroyed and the crew seemingly killed (before they were brought back for series 7, of course).
The reasons for this are numerous. Firstly, there was a 4 year gap between series 6 and 7 - too long to return to a series, in my opinion. Secondly, the original writing team of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor ended when Grant left after disagreements - he didn't want to be known just for doing Red Dwarf. And thirdly, they took out the studio audience and videotapes and replaced them with a film technique and recorded laughter.
