A series of new episodes are coming later this year with the main cast all returning to their former roles in a move that has delighted the show's fanbase

One of the BBC's most iconic comedies is to return with a series of new episodes - and the same cast it had when it launched back in the 80s.

Robert Llewellyn, who played robot Kryten in the show, told the British Comedy Guide: "We knew we were going to do more Red Dwarf and we're actually now doing it in the middle of October to the middle of November this year. The cult classic sci-fi series created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor first aired on BBC2 in 1988 but in recent years has been airing new episodes on retro channel Dave, last appearing in 2020.

Red Dwarf was a huge hit for the BBC throughout the 90s, showcasing the space adventures of Dave Lister, played by Craig Charles, who wakes up after three million years in suspended animation to find out the rest of the crew on his ship were killed.
