Wasn't he long abandoned when they found him in the OG series, caring for two fancy skeletons?
Anything is now possible.

Long abandoned, but not 3 million years abandoned.
Unless this prequel is set after Lister goes into stasis.

New Red dwarf content with the original cast makes me feel human, happy, and very, very old.

I'll probably pass on this. I enjoyed the revival with the older cast but let's be honest about it, the series was pushed exactly far enough by it and as a whole should be left alone as a masterpiece.

I hope its at least as good as the US TV pilot.

Sounds promising. It could suck, sure, but none of the Brian Herbert novels made me lose my love of Dune. So I’ll give it a try.

I mean I did not lose my love the original trilogy but the introduction of the flash left me flat. Can't say I thought the later novels were all that great.

There isn't enough makeup in the universe to get this cast looking ready for a prequel.
