Red Dwarf coming back

Long time BBC comedy science fiction series Red Dwarf (which ended in 1999) is scheduled to come back to BBC sometime next year:

in 2009, Freeview channel Dave commissioned three new episodes of the programme to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the show.
And the episode gained record viewings for the channel when they aired over the Easter Break, attracting more viewers than BBC2 and Channel 4 combined.
Now it seems that the unprecedented success of the comeback show Red Dwarf: Back to Earth has led to a new series being commissioned bringing much loved characters including Lister, the Cat and Rimmer back to our screens.
