The last time any new episodes of Red Dwarf aired, it was 1999, and those of us who were devotees of ‘70s sci-fi show Space 1999, were left feeling deflated that year when it turned out we wouldn’t all be wearing shiny but stretchy space suits and sporting Farrah Fawcett hairstyles.

A new series of ‘Red Dwarf’ has been commissioned and the cult comedy will return to TV screens next year.
The show – which originally aired on BBC Two in the 80s and 90s – starring ‘Coronation Street’ actor Craig Charles as curry-loving crew member Dave Lister, Chris Barrie as his bunk-mate Arnold Rimmer and Danny John-Jules as humanoid creature The Cat – will be revamped by male targeted cable channel Dave

Red Bull X-Fighters is a high-energy spectacle in which riders on motorbikes combine power, skill, showmanship and bravery to excite fans. The World Tour has garnered a huge international following since its conception in 2001 with jumps and tricks getting harder, higher and longer every year – often reaching heights of 40 feet.
