Red Dwarf - Back to Earth [Oct 6th]

[daevv]

Anyone looking forward to this release? I just recently finished watching all 8 series and haven't seen this special, looking forward to it. I believe the BD was released in the UK in August.

No info on here for this release so I figured I would post what info is on
amazon.

It was a long time coming, but finally the crew of the Red Dwarf were reunited for what could be the last time with Back to Earth. And it proved to be a bit of a mixed blessing, with all three parts throwing up moments of absolute genius, alongside parts where you couldn’t help believing that its best days are far behind it. The idea behind the show is quite ingenious. Back to Earth takes place after the supposed season 10 of Red Dwarf, and the crew find themselves thrown through a portal, at which time they realize that they’re all just characters from a TV show. Furthermore, they’re characters from a TV show who are going to all buy it in the final episode. The only solution? To track down both the actors that play them (including a trip to the set!), and the creators of Red Dwarf itself. This opens the door for plenty of postmodern gags and situations, but arguably it’s only when things get back into more familiar territory that they start to gel a little more. And when they work, you can’t help but enjoy the fact that the crew are back together. Will this be the last voyage for Red Dwarf? Quite possibly, and there’s little doubt that it’s far from the show’s peak. But it’s still a fun and entertaining send-off. --Jon Foster

Product Description
The boys are back, and while they may be older, they're still none the wiser. The crew discover a dimension-hopping leviathan, but Rimmer is threatened with replacement by the new, improved holograph Katrina. She is determined to guide Lister to his home planet, but no one is prepared for Earth 2009, where the hapless crew face death unless they can track down their creators.

Hey thanks. Not sure how it slipped through the cracks, but this was a title that wasn't entered yet on the site. I added it now.

I'm a big Red Dwarf fan but this was utterly awefull.......the first new Red Dwarf episodes in 10 years and it was just terrible They should have just left it alone.

I completely agree with you DaveS1138. I loved the series and have them all on DVD, but this was just horrible. Fans should avoid it at all costs.

I thought the same thing after seeing the first episode... BUT the end of the 3rd episode made it all worthwhile. Problem was it was story enough for one episode that they dragged out into 3. I did like the Blade Runner stuff, though.

Yeah i agree, i thought this 3 part episode was terrible. Seasons 6 and 7 i thought were great but the last season was the reason i stopped watching it.
