No more Red Dwarf :(

It doesn't mean the end of Red Dwarf necessarily, just the end of Red Dwarf on the BBC. And I don't think the money has anything to do with it -- in fact, they are already producing a Sci-fi comedy, Hyperdrive. Even though it's not very funny I guess they've made the decision to stick with it.

I would hope that one of the other terrestrial channels would pick it up (even if it does mean adverts).
 
I think they should leave it, the last episode left us on a nice cliff hanger.
Only ruin it if they make a new series.
 
I think it may well be better to leave it as a classic. I'd rather have a Faulty Towers than a Last of The Summer Wine
 
Why in gods name would you want to see a Red Dwarf IX?! Red Dwarf got better and better until it climaxed with Season V and VI. Season VII wasn't bad but no where near as good as the previous two were, and Season VIII, well, the less said the better frankly.
 
I loved all of I - VI but V and VI were genius. It's a series that's run its course and VII and VIII showed that it was time to kill it off. They really shouldn't make any more.
 
red dwarf was awesome, i hope they still release a new series. the only reason they haven't done the movie is because they can't get financial backing. they have a cast and a script but no money :(

Series 7 was really bad, especially with Kochanski taking over from rimmer. ( What were they thinking ??? ) It just worked well with the 4 guys.

They are getting old now and Lister has really aged so it would be really weird seeing these guys age overnight.

RIMMER: KRYTEN GOTO RED ALERT
KRYTEN: SIR ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE, IT DOES MEAN CHANGING THE BULB

hilarious :)

Agreed. I just stopped watching series VIII as it was appalling. For me Red Dwarf will always be four sad blokes and a mental computer. Series VII and VIII should be airbrushed out of history.

Let the 'Boys from the Dwarf' rest in peace folks. Don't dig the show up and reheat it the way they did with Only Fools and Horses. *shudders*
 
As much as I love Red Dwarf, I'm very happy they wont be making one(at least not at the BBC) because after Red Dwarf VI it went down hill drastically, they tried to be too much of an American Style Sci-Fi rather than a Brit Sci-Fi IMO.
 
It's a shame, although the last few series weren't as funny, it was still hilarious. Much more than all the comedy pap on nowadays. However I don't think anyone else will take it on.
 
Red Dwarf was best in first 3 seasons, i didnt enjoy them much after but i still like them non the less as im a big fan of the show.

I would still watch it now if it came back as its nice to see the cast in the roles but it still wont be as good as the first 3 seasons i think.

A movie to tie up the end of the show would be good and still hope its being made.
 
I hate how people moan so much about VIII - you are only saying it's terrible COMPARED TO THE OTHERS - which are by far the best comedy series ever made.

season VIII is still very good, however less so in comparison to the rest - don't bash it so much!
