Returning: Red Dwarf

Cult UK comedy Red Dwarf is back for its 11th season, with the original cast.

Cult UK comedy Red Dwarf is back for its 11th season, on ABC2 later this month.

Starring the original cast, this was recorded in front of a live studio audience at Pinewood Studios in 2015. It’s the first series the troupe has done since 2012.

A 12th season was also filmed in 2016 but yet to air in the UK.

Red Dwarf XI sees two of the Dwarfers’ dreams come true: Rimmer (Chris Barrie) accidentally saves a Space Corp Captain and is promoted to Officer, while Cat (Danny John-Jules) takes time off from loving himself to fall in love with a female cat with a very big secret.

Meanwhile, Lister (Craig Charles) wakes up to discover a deranged droid has stolen his body parts and Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) has a mid-life crisis and considers leaving the Dwarfers for a new younger crew.

“Episode one: Twentica”
The Dwarfers find themselves in an alternative version of America where modern technology is prohibited, making Rimmer and Kryten illegal. The Dwarfers infiltrate the tech savvy underground and try to bring down the authoritarian regime.

Thursday January 19 at 9.40pm on ABC2

  1. I was almost a kid (at heart) when I first watched this show which must be the SciFi / comedy equivalent of Coronation Street for longevity on the small screen. I lost interest in their ‘Blake’s Seven’ spoofs and special effects ages ago but all the best to them, acting jobs in Britain are hard to get after all.
