Red Dwarf - Viral ad for Easter specials
The starting place for this new workplace timewaster is Lister's Coming Home, which currently shows a postcard (shown above) written by Dwarf lead character Dave Lister that apparently hints at the plot for the new mini-series ("How did we get separated on 21st Century Earth?") and leads to Scanning Jupiter, a faux scientific site that includes messages from the other cast members and access to Red Dwarf's ship's log... which offers up this videoThis includes some footage from the new stuff and interviews with the cast.
I can't wait to see the boys from the Dwarf back on the small screen. More info over at io9.

Red Dwarf's Starbug and Lister spotted on Coronation Street
As you may, or may not know, Craig Charles (Lister) has been acting on the UK soap Coronation Street as a taxi driver called Lloyd.
Then the news hit that Red Dwarf was coming back this Easter (can't wait).Now these photos of Craig Charles (complete with Lister's dreads apparantly being abducted by the rest of the boys from the Dwarf have turned up. Then there is the Starbug 1 car.
Also spotted during filming was Craig's Corrie co-star Simon Gregson, who plays Streetcars co-owner Steve McDonald along with returning Red Dwarf favourites Chris Barrie as hologram Arnold Rimmer and Robert Llewellyn as Kryten
What can it all mean? Is it a crossover between soap and sci-fi? Has Lloyd been Lister all along or is it just a good bit of advertising?

Red Dwarf back for Easter and back to Earth
Cheers to Matt for sending me the link to the BBC. Good news indeed as I was always a big fan of Red Dwarf. Hopefully Norman Lovett will be back as the original Holly.
Cult comedy Red Dwarf is returning to TV, 21 years after its initial launch.
The show has been resurrected by digital channel Dave for a two-part Easter weekend special, which sees the cast finally return to Earth.
Written and directed by Red Dwarf co-creator Doug Naylor, the new show reunites the line-up, including Coronation Street's Craig Charles.
The hit show, which ran for eight series on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, won an International Emmy award.
'No holds barred'
Set three million years into the future, the show followed the exploits of Dave Lister, slovenly crew member of the mining ship Red Dwarf - and the last man in the universe.
He was joined in his weekly attempts to make it back to Earth by a cast of oddballs including human hologram Arnold Rimmer, sanitation mechanoid Kryton and Cat - a preening half-man, half-animal who evolved from the ship's cat.
At its peak, Red Dwarf pulled in around eight million viewers and was broadcast in more than 25 countries.
It has sold more than seven million DVDs and videos.
The new two-part series Red Dwarf: Back to Earth will be followed by a "no holds barred" episode without sets, special effects or autocue.
The weekend will climax with Red Dwarf: the Making of Back to Earth, a behind-the-scenes special from the new episodes.
