Rumors have been confirmed via Robert Llewellyn's twitter account.
I've been a huge fan of Red Dwarf since the first few series and wasn't really satisfied with the way the last series ended. Didn't like the Back to Earth specials too much either, and hoping they go back more to their roots. Also, to keep the Back to Earth specials secret, they chose not to show it to a live audience so the specials didn't feature the laughter track, I don't know if they'll be doing this again but I hope not, I for one thought it added a bit of atmosphere to the show.Series 10 of Red Dwarf announcement just been made at Dimension Jump 09. To clarify the scripts have been commissioned, won't be filming until 2010.
