I guess the specials are actually being classed as series 9 then, Red Dwarf series 10 will return Autumn 2012. I have mixed feelings about this to be honest, I love Red Dwarf but Series 7 onwards were decidedly poor by the previous 6 series standards. Still i will await the series, only 15months or so away, looking forward to seeing what is to come. A Mention of an overlying story arc for the first time is wrong, surely series 6 and 7 at least was the chase for red dwarf which tied it all together. Or am i wrong on that?

anyway here is the story in full form Den of Geek: Red Dwarf: new series now 100% confirmed, due 2012 - Den of Geek
