TV channel Dave has reportedly commissioned a new series of 90s comedy sci-fi Red Dwarf.

Which is good news for everyone who likes funny things in space.

Apparently, TV execs, or how we like to call them, ‘bosses’, have commissioned a new series after a three-part special screened in 2009 called Red Dwarf: Back To Earth, drew more than three million viewers which is a lot of people. Yep, these people move s-l-o-w.

The Red Dwarf show stars and will re-star Corrie hard-done-by-in-love cab driver, Craig Charles. Now no longer in Corrie. And hopefully no longer having to drive cabs for a living.

The Sun told us this news and this is about pretty much all we know except the BBC2 show ran for eight series over 11 years until it got the chop in 1999. We found that titbit on Wikipedia.
