Following on from Robert Llewellyn's suggestion the BBC are about to make a one-off Red Dwarf special, it seems that's not quite the case. The Sun reports that the cast will reunite soon -- but only to make 4 half-hour specials, for broadcast on Dave next year. The specials will combine new material with classic footage. So yes, clip-shows to celebrate 21 years of the sci-fi sitcom.
I know this news comes from The Sun (a purveyor of showbiz bullshit), but it does sound much more likely to me -- if only because it'll be cheap and easy to make. It's a shame Red Dwarf won't be given a chance to end properly (or at least answer season 8's cliffhanger!), but there you go. I'm sure it'll still be fun to see the gang back together.
