Sci-fi geeks the world over are rejoicing as news is spreading of a brand new series of cult comedy classic Red Dwarf.

Craig Charles, who has apparently been turning a buck by appearing on something called 'Coronation Street' for the past few years, let slip the shock announcement that he would be returning to his role as the last human being alive, grubby, curry-loving space slacker Dave Lister, later in the year.

Had a interesting statement on why the old one failed:

The other reason was that the producers decided to spend more money on cheesy CGI effects than on writers under the misapprehension that Sci-fi geeks would rather see giant monsters and big explosions than hear carefully-crafted gags penned by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.

I'm shocked that they think fans like a good plot rather than an explosion.
