Storylines the new episodes could pursue:

1. They finally find Kochanski.

2. They find the nanobot created Red Dwarf crew and find out what happened to nano-Rimmer.

3. They find what happened to the Cat Ark that didn't crash.

4. They fix Holly.

5. They get back to Earth and see what's become of it in the millions of years they've been gone.


I look forward to seeing the Dwarfers again.

What about a parody of a childrens' classic - the Wind and the Willows with Rimmer as Toad?

We know from Better Than Life that Rimmer likes his antique cars.

I've been wanting to see a cat ark themed show since I first saw this show! But since they were asleep for hundreds of years before season 6, and Rimmerworld caused them to be away for who knows how long, it'll have to be people who don't know our Cat, or maybe they found a planet to settle on, and we can have Cat world!

or maybe they found a planet to settle on, and we can have Cat world!

That's an excellent idea. And, of course, the Dwarfers find this world...

What if the Cat People found and settled on Earth.

the Cat people might treat the Cat as being a slave to humans, ala the simulants to Kryten.

How about Elvis as played by that guy from Meltdown as a character in a Lister-centric episode with flashbacks to Lister’s tragic childhood and the episode ending with Elvis singing “In the Ghetto” as a tribute to Lister?

Sure, why not.

An episode called “that fan that won a part on Twitter” where the white bloke who blacked up as Dwayne Dibbley at that UK convention gets beamed aboard the ship via a UKTV competition. And hilarity ensues. With the catchphrase "What a dodgy Dibbley!".

I'd much rather RD end like the Sarah Jane Adventures and we leave the characters headed for their next adventure... rather than seeing ten years from now a 70 year old BobbyLlew trying to recapture the magic and vigor of his mid-thirties Kryten.

Episode One of the new series is called 'Twentica'.

Here's soe info about what we have to look forward to!

The show's six episode run sees two of the Dwarfers' dreams come true: Rimmer accidentally saves the life of a Space Corps Captain and is promoted to Officer, while Cat takes time off from being in love with himself to fall in love with a female Cat with a secret. Meantime, Lister wakes up to discover a deranged droid has stolen some of his body parts and Kryten has a mid-life crisis and considers leaving the Dwarfers for a younger crew. The posse also find themselves in an alternative America where modern technology is outlawed, making both Kryten and Rimmer illegal.

So, business as usual then.

I dunno. I enjoy Red Dwarf but I honestly think it's time to pack it in......

Trust Rodney to rain on people's parade.

not trying to rain on anyone's parade. They are all getting older and the jokes aren't getting funnier.

If you get something out of It then all power to you.

Just added a synopsis

Here is a synopsis of the episode...

1. 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.

So would I - and it would be interesting!

I've just watched this - what a hoot!

Loved the gags - especially the dying man's explanation for the pizza company card (Wrong pocket) - and the new Starbug cockpit.

They must end up in a different timeline from the one at the start of the episode, because they didn't remove the changes to Earth's history. Okay, I realise that's not unusual for Red Dwarf. But the simulants were supposed to stop humans developing advanced technology, yet Kryten and Rimmer didn't wink out of existence while the restrictions were in effect on 1950's Earth, so doesn't that mean that they were never in danger of not existing, as they seemed to think? The way I see it, when the simulants went back in time they started an alternate timeline and it could not affect the Red Dwarf crew's past.

I wasn't sure why the crew went back to Red Dwarf at the end? Again, I suppose that's just what happens in RD, but usually there is some kind of explanation for why they have to go back. I would have thought they could use that Chronos thing to go anywhere and any time?

Maybe the Chronos device stopped working after they returned to Red Dwarf.

BTW, is anyone playing the Red Dwarf XI game?

Truth be told, this one confused the heck out of me.
