Above all, Fun Features Posted by Andrew Marshall on 27th February 2026, 10:15 Following yesterday's awful news, Rob's writing partner Andrew Marshall has been in touch to share his tribute. For about the last 15 years my working day has started in the same way: make coffee, sit at desk at 9.30 and await Rob to appear on Zoom. Or Screenhero, Or Skype. Or whatever the gas powered useless app was before that. We shared thoughts, worries, family news, memories, latest movie opinions and most of all cookery tips. Oh, and then eventually wrote something. But most of all we laughed. Working with Rob was always, above all, fun. Read more →
Red Dwarf: Titan – Covered News Posted by Ian Symes on 19th February 2026, 09:00 A mere two weeks ago, Red Dwarf: Titan was just a glimmer in Rob Grant's buttski, as far as we were aware. But now details are coming thick and fast. Following the novel first appearing on random booksellers' websites, quickly followed by Rob and Andy supplying a full synopsis, we can now exclusively reveal the book's cover art. Many thanks to The Orion Publishing Group, who seem to have accidentally mistaken us for a legitimate press organisation. Read more →
Red Dwarf: Titan – the full synopsis News Posted by Ian Symes on 10th February 2026, 10:06 Following last week's unheralded appearance of Red Dwarf: Titan on various obscure booksellers' websites, some bloke called Rob has got in touch with us to clarify one or two things. Hi G&Tians A couple of bookshops seem to have misunderstood the publisher’s embargo, and made a premature pre-launch of the new RD novel, Titan. It’s not even been through the final copy edit yet. They also announced a publication date in July, which is the first we’ve heard of it, and over which we have no control. It’s still not confirmed. Likewise, the blurb we’d written for the cover wasn’t shown in full, presumably to accommodate a word count. Now the Cat’s out of the baggy suit, here’s the full version. ROB & ANDY Read more →
Rob Andy readin’ Titan, yes sir I’ve been around News Posted by Ian Symes on 6th February 2026, 16:20 Well then. Exactly five years to the day that Rob Grant told us that he wanted Red Dwarf flying out of our buttskis, it seems we're a little over six months away from the first scheduled flight. Thanks to our Czech mate barbucha in our forum for spotting that a novel called Red Dwarf: Titan is beginning to turn up in online listings, with a release date of July 16th. An all-new prequel, and the first Red Dwarf novel in thirty years with Red Dwarf creator Rob Grant returning alongside Andy Marshall, creator of sitcom 2point4Children and Quanderhorn! Before the beginning. Before the accident that wipes out the crew, the mining ship Red Dwarf is in orbit around Titan, and the crew is heading down for shore leave, all with different intensions… However, their objectives are scuppered somewhat unexpectedly when they receive a cryptic message. A message from the future. Two feuding crewmen are catapulted into a breakneck race to save not only this but every other Reality. So strap yourself in - the Dwarfers are taking on TITAN. This novel is the perfect reboot for those who have never seen the series but also full of wonderful Easter eggs for the fans. Read more →
BFI Screening Report & Red Dwarf Prequel news! Features Posted by evilmorwen on 5th November 2023, 20:52 Brace yourself for a bit of shock. G&T regular evilmorwen went along to the BFI screening of Backwards, complete with commentary and Q&A from Rob Grant, Ed Bye and Paul Jackson. They were kind enough to provide a full report, containing news that blew our minds. Rob Grant has been busy. Read on... As previously reported, the BFI Southbank saw, on Sunday, as part of a time travel strand, a screening of the episode Backwards, along with the first episode of ITV2’s time travel comedy Timewasters. Your correspondent had not previously seen Timewasters - a sitcom which posits the question “What if Goodnight Sweetheart except Nicholas Lyndhurst was a jazz quartet, and they’d gone back to the 1920s?” The answer is: quite good, and your correspondent will be watching more of it on Prime later. But I wasn’t there for that, and neither are you. We’re here for Red Dwarf. Read more →
