I think they ruined the last series bringing the crew back as it ruined the whole premis of the show

rimmer seperates the ship in two and leaves lister marooned with only the massive quantity of curry they brought back to keep him company.

So this is what we need:

- Ditch Kochanski (sorry Chloe)
- Ditch the rest of the crew
- No film effect (yeah, right)
- Live audience
- Grant AND Naylor writing (has this been confirmed yet?)


- I agree (sorry again Chloe)
- They'll be in the mirror universe anyway
- 50/50 on that one, cause in some ways the filmic effect did work once the audience was brought back in VIII
- That's as standard
- Very little chance of this I'm afraid... it took the BBC all 8 DVD releases and a remastered boxset just to finally get him in for a single interview! At the end of the day, the two men don't see eye to eye in the TV world anymore, and would probably make the product suffer in the end.

I can see why people slate VII, allbeit there being some very Dwarf-like scripts within it... but I feel VIII was like a "best of" from the rest of the programme, just with seven's production values. So personally I'd rank Series VIII as some of their best work!

Oh, and the official press statement has been on RD's website for a while now, but incase you haven't read it yet: http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2008/09/19/new-red-dwarf-specials-confirmed/


I didn't mind VIII to be honest, I liked Captain Hollister's reintroduction but wasn't too keen on the segregation bits with the crew. However there was still some nice gags in there to keep it going.
