    I believe not- although the writers and the cast have been seen lunching together a lot...

    I asked Chris Barrie about this at a Comic Con meet and greet just before Xmas and he said "everything is getting there" . By the way he said it I read this as meaning that the scripts are ready but the contracts for all 3 main actors have yet to be signed.

    Maybe that bit was merely the poster's interpretation of what Chris Barrie said

    Danny said last month that it's currently being written, but dave haven't commissioned the series yet:

    I really hope it all goes ahead (I can't see why it wouldn't). Personally I've always thought that it's poor show from the Beeb that Red Dwarf isn't actually on the BBC any more. I know they have shares in the whole UKTV network, but honestly I never understood why it couldn't just come back to BBC2 in the first place.

    It has to be the last they make because they really need to wrap up the story.

    They could film it in Guadeloupe. Danny will be there anyway, and the others could appear in an episode of DIP.

    I think the final episode should be one where the very old Lister with the long grey dreadlocks projects himself back in time in his bunk to speak to his younger self.

    Long time coming. Amazing that it's coming back.

    Are they filming 12 episodes all together, or 6 at a time?

    Does it not have both writers Grant & Naylor on it?
    Has anybody figured out the respective influences of the two on the scripts?

    I'm sorry but I didn't like the last series of this that was on Dave a few years ago. It was a bit hit or a miss for me and nothing like it's glory day's. I kind of feel they should let a good thing die. Craig Charles is leaving Corrie in the Autumn to concentrate on Red dwarf. For me he should stay with Corrie as I think he is great in that. It's a sign of the times that nothing new gets made now just re hashes of once great shows or shows still being made like X factor that should have ended a few years ago -
