Red Dwarf is returning to the BBC for the first time in 15 years.
The broadcaster has acquired every episode of the first nine seasons of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor’s iconic space comedy along with the revived four seasons that aired on UKTV channel Dave plus feature-length special The Promised Land.
Red Dwarf hasn’t aired on the BBC since 2007. The show stars DJ Craig Charles as Dave Lister, a low ranked caretaker on board a city-sized mining ship who finds himself the last remaining human being alive after an accident kills the rest of the crew. He wakes after 3 million years in suspended animation, his only companions the hologram of his pernickety and contemptuous bunkmate Rimmer, a creature that evolved from his pet cat, named Cat, ship’s computer Holly, and Kryten – an android they rescue from a shipwreck.
Red Dwarf drops on BBC iPlayer today along with Kathy Burke’s BBC classic Gimme, Gimme, Gimme and Spencer Jones’ Mister Winner.
Red Dwarf launched on BBC Two 35 years ago and aired for nine seasons before moving to BBC Studios-owned Dave in 2009, running for four seasons plus The Promised Land.
BBC iPlayer Director Dan McGolpin said: “The strangest gang in space are back on the BBC – with classic episodes of Red Dwarf right from the very beginning touching down soon.”

This is the heartwarming moment when a chimpanzee survivor of a grisly laboratory experiment programme saw the sky in her new home for the first time. Vanilla the chimp looked delighted as she arrived at the sanctuary in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In case anyone is tempted to think of country music as a one-man phenomenon at present with Morgan Wallen’s seemingly indomitable runs atop multiple charts, Luke Combs has come along to remind everyone that this town is big enough for the both of ’em. They’re now forming a two-man roadblock at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, as, between them, country owns the top two spots on that all-genre charts for the first time in 42 years. Wallen’s smash “Last Night” remains on top of the Hot 100 — no news there, since this is the song’s 14th week at No. 1. But it is a fresh development to have Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” cruising close up behind it, moving up one spot to No. 2. It’s the first time the genre has claimed Nos. 1-2 on Billboard’s primary chart since March 1981, when Eddie Rabbitt’s “I Love a Rainy Night” and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” managed the same crossover-success feat.
