Looks like it is still moving ahead then – that’s good news.

And it’s been taken down. Imagine Bobby jumping the gun, although now multiple sites are reporting the news.

Doug’s denying that it’s been commissioned yet:

“Getting tweets claiming Red Dwarf XI is commissioned. Not true. Not yet.”

So the big news is that there is no news and everything is the same as it was this morning. It’s just like the months in the lead up to Red Dwarf X

Well, here’s the full blog post for relative posterity:

RED DWARF XI
Sunday, October 20, 2013 at 9:06PM

I get asked so often about if/when we are making another series of Red Dwarf I thought I’d better explain the situation as best I know it.

The simple fact of the matter is we are officially making another series but we don’t know when. UKTV, the copmany behind Dave who broadcast Red Dwarf X want another series and we’d love to make one.

I will be sometime in 2014, but I can’t be any more accurate that because we simply don’t know yet.

As far as the main cast are concerned, Chris, Danny Craig and myself are all very committed to making another series, Doug Naylor is working on it like a man posessed but beyond that it’s in the lap of the GELFS.

As soon as I know about when and where and when we will be making series XI, if tickets will be available for the live recordings etc, well anyone who’s followed me for a while on the Twitters will know I will harp on about it like an obsessive loon, until then, I’m afraid I know nothing.

I do know you can get The Man in the Rubber Mask book though, with a right rollicking behind the scenes look at life on the small rouge one from 1989 to 2012. Okay, cheap plug but you’ll love it sirs and ma’ams.

It’s been about two and a half years since we played this game, I think all involved forgot the steps.

“So we’re doing a new series?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure? We need to plan time off for this.”

“I told a roomful of 400 people daft enough to pay £66 a head to hear it five months ago, didn’t I?”

*type type type blog blog blog*

“YIPEE A SERIES. NEW RIMMER UNIFORM AND KRYTEN HEAD!”

*Doug’s Twitter explodes*

“No, there is no new series. Where do you get these things?”

*erase erase erase fume fume fume*

….. pas de deux

[Claire]

*Lol* I think Annie’s pretty much summed it up. I was there and heard what Doug said. I don’t blame Robert for basically repeating that for the benefit of those who weren’t there.

I understand that Doug’s presumably contractually bound to deny this until the official announcement, but you can’t blame fans for getting excited.

>“I told a roomful of 400 people daft enough to pay £66 a head to hear it five months ago, didn’t I?”

HEY!

[Karnie]

For Fuck’s sake, stop making episodes so I can finish this damned book!!

I’m kidding, of course; but I do feel a sense of ambivalence whenever a new series is announced…or “not” announced in this case. =)

[anniescribe]

I’d be daft enough to pay the £66 next year too if not for the $1,400 plane and hotel that goes with it …
