Much of the original cast of Red Dwarf, which first aired in 1988, will return to our screens with three brand-new episodes next Friday as part of a special sci-fi weekend on digital channel Dave.
Speaking about the reunion, Chris Barrie, who plays Arnold Rimmer on the show, told The Sun: "We all think this could be the start of something big -- perhaps a new mini-series, a film or just a series."
Barrie's co-star Robert Lllewellyn has also suggested a comeback could be on the cards. The actor, who plays sanitation mechanoid Kryten on Red Dwarf, responded directly but somewhat cryptically to these claims on Twitter saying: "Well, it's not utter lies… who knows."
The actors will be joined on -screen by the rest of the Red Dwarf crew on Friday, April 10, at 9pm, when their Easter return debuts on Dave. Would you like to see more of them?

Personally, I don't want Red Dwarf back anymore after this wrap-up. Just give it the send-off it deserved after VI and forget the final two series with Konchanski, Red Dwarf's resurrection and prison decks ever happened.
Awesome! I'd like a good new series of RD, the last one with the reanimated original crew sucked. It works best when they are alone on a massive ship aimlessly traversing space. A film would be a cool idea, I'd prefer a series though.
