Red Dwarf X finally finished filming

The mask is off, the locks are cut, the fangs are out and the H is gone…

Filming for the eagerly anticipated 10th series of Red Dwarf has now finished. Richard Naylor, Associate Producer tweeted the news;

Red Dwarf X officially wrapped! The dreads are off‘.

The new series  which is set to air on the freeview channel Dave in the Autumn will consist of six 30 minute episodes. It marks the return of Dave Lister, The Cat, Rimmer and Kryten. Expect to be treated to the usual quick witted one liners, put downs and Listers love for curry.

The last outing for the boys was back in 2009 after a 10 year hiatus. These were the Red Dwarf: Back to Earth Easter specials, a three part series which was received with mixed reactions. The specials gave multiple nods to past plots and was also heavily influenced by the cult film Blade Runner.

Although technically this should be Series 9, Doug Naylor stated that he didn’t want to make a ninth series but would like to do a series 10.  Wait! Surely missing out an entire series lacks plot consistency and would alter its story arc and character development? Welcome to Red Dwarf, Smoke me a kipper… I’ll be back for breakfast.
