Red Dwarf was a very important part of my teenage years. Crude and vulgar, but funny and, most importantly, good solid sci-fi.
But over the years it deteriorated until, by the end of Series 8, it was pretty unrecognisable as the series it once was. And it disappeared. I assumed forever, despite the odd ‘Red Dwarf: The Movie’ rumors that kept popping up.
Then in April 2009 Watch launched a new, three-part series called Back To Earth and I’ll not lie, the first episode was a car crash, however, over the next two nights something I thought was impossible happened: we got some of the best Red Dwarf in nearly a decade. When the new full series was announced I was a little giddy.
Well, it’s almost here and here is the teaser (credits?). Let us know your thoughts…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
