The BBC SF cult comedy is making a semi-one-shot return on Easter weekend on the UK digital channel Dave (yes, Dave) for a two-part episode that will bring the characters back to Earth:

It's Dave's first venture into original scripted programming, something the UK "multichannels" that aren't directly BBC-owned or directly attached to the commercial terrestrial networks are known for doing (Dave is owned by UKTV, a co-venture between the Beeb's for- profit arm BBC Worldwide and Virgin Media). "The home of witty banter" has a lineup consisting mostly of smart-arse repeats of "Little Britain," "QI," "Top Gear" and others--and of course, they air repeats of "Red Dwarf." (And no, they've never aired "Late Show with David Letterman.") --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV .... Smart (TV) People on Ice!
