Red Dwarf fans, be on alert!

The official trailer for the highly anticipated new series is here.

The new series will see the return of firm favourites Rimmer, Lister, Kryten and Cat.

Things get off to a flying start with the quartet in some kind of peril, with what looks like an operating theatre, red flashing lights and a crashing space craft.

But laughs soon follow when Lister discovers that the life signs they have detected may in fact be them.

Fans had already been teased that they would get a look at the new footage.

The new series starts on Dave on September 22.
