[title card] "Every Generation has its idiot."

Shot of Arnold J. "Ace" Rimmer returning to mining vessel "Red Dwarf"
- the fancy CGI one, not the real [plastic] one.

[title card] "Every journey starts with a row about the directions"

CAT             "Switch to Brown Alert."
KRYTEN  "We don't HAVE a Brown Alert."
CAT             "You won't be saying that in a couple of minutes"

[title card] "Some things were never meant to make sense."

HOLLY           "May the Farce be with you."

Okay, this was in the second trailer, shown 9.30 PM on Monday 15th
Feb, but some people might not want to know just yet.

Apparently when the nanites reassembled Red Dwarf at the end of the
last season, they reassembled the crew too!

Captain Hollister has the 5 Dwarfies [including Rimmer - who's been
sent back to them for some reason] sent to space prison.

Chloe Annett is still there [hmm], BUT the REAL Holly is back to stay!

Lose one dippy actress, gain another. Ah well.

At least the boys are back in town! I mean, they managed without
Norman Lovett - sort of - but when Chris Barrie left, they were
shafted.

AND - if Barrie's back, it's because the writers agreed to his
insistence that Rimmer be given character development!
