Red Dwarf: Back to Earth - Resolving the Series 8 Cliffhanger in the Dave Specials

We don't yet know if the upcoming Red Dwarf specials on Dave, titled "Red Dwarf: Back to Earth", will follow on from the cliffhanger at the end of Series 8, or if it will be a standalone episode. It would be a shame if the cliffhanger ending is not resolved in some form.

Here's one idea I had for a quick resolution of the ending. It involves reediting the alternate ending from the Series 8 DVD. A voiceover from one of the characters may help to make it flow better. I hope you enjoy.

I like that Rimmer finally gets the last laugh after all that time Hollister treated him like crap.

Full ahead, Mr Kryten, I see no ships!

Best Rimmer line ever!

What happend to the bit where Rimmer kicks Death in the croch.

They had the show reset perfectly. Rimmer would be dead, Holister and the crew would be non-existent., and L, K, C, & BB would be bumming around in Star Bug, heading back to earth with smeg.

I think it would be cool and more classic to go back to using the original cameras from season 1 & 2. I just miss that old RD look. :) I personally don't care for the high-tech look. Just me

Holly: "Yes, i am Queeg. with an IQ of 6000; i am really fantastic!"

The Crew: Whaaat..??

@LawrenceOlaf awww shit, you're onto something my son, that's a good point

[Elliotize]

I'm still confused. Can someone please explain to me the plot.

[cky283]

@LawrenceOlaf Because Holly has an IQ of 6000 and he's that damn good. Why make a double? :P
