Dave dedicates weekends to a Red Dwarf retrospective ahead of series 10 launch

In the run up to Red Dwarf X, which begins airing on the channel in early October, digital TV's "home of witty banter" is dedicating its weekends throughout September to re-screening the sci-fi sitcom’s BBC shows in their entirety.

And seasoned Dwarfers will be chuffed to learn that Dave will also be broadcasting secret codes during the show’s ad breaks, which can be entered on the channel's website to access brand new Red Dwarf X trailers every weekend until the new series' launch.

In a move that we can only assume is a nod to the first episode of series three (Backwards), Dave will be broadcasting the series in reverse order, starting with series eight on Saturday 8 September.

Here’s the full schedule. The asterisked series will contain the aforementioned secret codes in their ad breaks:

• Red Dwarf VIII - Saturday 8^th September from 11am *
• Red Dwarf VII - Sunday 9^th September from 11am
• Red Dwarf VI – Saturday 15^th September from 11am *
• Red Dwarf V – Sunday 16^th September from 11am
• Red Dwarf IV – Saturday 22^nd September from 11am *
• Red Dwarf III – Sunday 23^rd September from 11am
• Red Dwarf II – Saturday 29^th September from 11am *
• Red Dwarf I – Sunday 30^th September from 11am

The one piece of Dwarf history not being screened, however, is the show’s three-part ninth series Back to Earth made for Dave in 2009. You can watch the trailer for that series below:
