Red Dwarf return to our screens next month, and a fresh piece of casting news for the show has been announced. Johnny Vegas is taking on a guest star role in one of the six upcoming episodes of Red Dwarf XII. He’ll be playing a law enforced – a ‘crit cop’ – in a place … >
Before its twelfth series lands on Dave in October, I’m rewatching all of Red Dwarf from the beginning.
