24 What's new in Series 8? (Red Dwarf)

Series 8 has the following notable characteristics:

* Like Series 7, it has eight episodes. (For titles, see "Is there an
episode guide for Red Dwarf?")
* The scripts are by Doug Naylor and Paul Alexander.
* The entire cast returned for all eight episodes, including Chris
Barrie, Chloe Annett, and Norman Lovett.
* Blue Midget has a new look (see "Is Red Dwarf being remastered?").
* Some portions of Series 8 were recorded with a live audience.
* The nanobots have not only recreated Red Dwarf, they have also
populated the ship with its old crew (including the original
non-hologram version of Rimmer, but not the original Kochanski).
* Mac McDonald returns as Captain Hollister. Crew members Selby and Chen
are played by Paul Bradley and David Gillespie.
* The skutters also return. In fact, new skutter models were built for
Series 8.
