Red Dwarf to reunite on Dave
Robert Llewellyn, the Scrapheap Challenge and How Do They Do It? presenter who played android Kryten in the sci-fi show, told the Canadian network KTCS9 that the cast were getting back together to film new content.
UKTV-owned channel Dave has ordered four 30-minute shows for next year, which will take viewers on a trip down memory lane. They will see the stars pull on their old costumes for some original sketches and also feature some of Red Dwarf's best bits.
The series was created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor as a spin-off of Dave Hollins: Space Cadet, a sketch they wrote for Radio 4 series Son of Cliché. It ran for eight seasons on BBC2 between 1988 and 1999 and also spawned spin-off novels. Grant left after series six, prompting Naylor to work with other writers, including Llewellyn.
It also made stars of Coronation Street actor and 6Music DJ Craig Charles, The Brittas Empire's Chris Barrie and Cbeebies' Danny John-Jules.
