Danny John-Jules has revealed that the Red Dwarf cast are to meet up next week.

Red Dwarf's 10th series aired on Dave in 2012, with an 11th run expected next year.



The Death in Paradise actor - who plays Cat in the long-running sci-fi sitcom - told Digital Spy that he and his co-stars Craig Charles, Chris Barrie and Robert Llewellyn, as well as writer Doug Naylor, will discuss the next series in the coming days.

He said: "All I can say is that Doug Naylor is slaving away writing scripts and we've got lunch next week. That's as far as I can tell you!"

It was previously reported that Red Dwarf would begin filming in the autumn this year, before airing in late 2015.

Talking about the next series, John-Jules said: "I have the glorious privilege to know that that's the last thing that I ever have to worry about with Red Dwarf - the scripts. I'm quite confident that whatever comes off that pen will be quite funny.

"It's a great position to be in. I don't have to worry about the scripts. The question's always, 'What the hell are we going to be up to now?' and 'How tight are my costumes going to be?'"

When asked if the next series will finally explain what happened after the end of series eight, he said: "That's the thing about Doug [Naylor], even from the cast's point of view, it's a big question you know? We never think about what Doug's started to write because it will never be what you think it will be.

"So he can throw curve balls, even at us. When you look up from the script, you look at Doug and go, 'Are you sure about this?' We have lots of those conversations.

"Then you watch it and then you see the outcomes, and it's always, 'He's done it again ain't he?'"

John-Jules also said that he would welcome any of his Red Dwarf colleagues as one of the many guest stars on Death in Paradise, saying: "It would be really interesting.

"I think that providing they didn't bring them in to play a Rimmer-esque character or a Lister-esque character, I suppose anything's possible. We've had many other famous people who've played characters in Death in Paradise so I don't see why not. We might."

Danny John-Jules will return as Dwayne in Death in Paradise for its fourth series, which will air in early January on BBC One.
