Craig Charles: 'New Red Dwarf next year' by Christian Tobin
(from Digital Spy)
Yes, it's true: Red Dwarf is coming back in 2012, and for a proper new six-episode series too. It's taken them long enough -- it's nearly two years since Back to Earth aired, so it'll be three by the time a new series reaches our screens!
A little bit more info -- indeed, all that is currently known -- via the blog of Kryten actor Robert Llewellyn, here. (Nowt on the official Red Dwarf site yet.)
Personally, I enjoyed Back to Earth -- not the greatest Dwarf ever, true, but pretty good -- so fingers crossed series 9/10/whatever-they-call-it can be at least as good.

Robert Webb to host Channel 4 panel show by Catriona Wightman
(from Digital Spy)
The show sees three celebrities nominate their favourite things from Earth, such as landmarks, possessions, guilty pleasures or humans. Webb will consider whether the things deserve to be preserved and will choose whether or not to put them on a spaceship to keep them safe.
So, essentially, it's the exact opposite of Room 101. How has it taken someone 17 years to come up with this idea?
