Looks like it's goingt be written by Doug Naylor again
so, yeah, good luck with that. After watching the first season they made without Rob Grant's input I gave up on it and avoided further heartache.

a wise move
their most recent attempt at new episodes a couple of years ago was a 3 episode special, and I laughed precisely once out of the three episodes.
When kryten stood on a rake,
The rest of it made me cringe.

What happened to Kryten's nose?
Did he get his head stuck in a lift again?

^This
If you could choose your facial features, why would you choose a nose like that?

Sounds like a plot line from the "good series"
maybe we have entered into a Red Dwarf Twilight Zone

Well this new Corrie plot line is a bit odd.

Got to see a recording of one of them
(the one with the "bit of popadom"), and it felt much more like the older stuff. I think the studio audience helps a lot.
I know they've been working ruddy hard for ages (the GN offices are down the corridor from me), so here's hoping they do get it right, cos the legacy of the series deserves it.

That looks ok actually :D
Yes I hope it will be as funny, but I also think perhaps we've all moved on a bit now so perhaps comedy in general has too. It's been twenty years since series five.
The live studio audience is the key I think - the laughter seemed very forced last time (not sure if they used canned laughter or not)
Good to see Rimmer back as a hologram. Have they got Norman Lovett back? I heard he had a big bust up with the writers and won't be doing holly anymore

You know how
they stopped making Blackadder, and possibly Father Ted, because they wanted to go out when it was still good?

Interesting!
Despite the years, it looks like Lister still has a touch of his famous "chirpy Gerbil-faced optimism".
Although I thought they were forced to stop making Father Ted was because Ted was Ded, rather than it being a decision reached purely out of preserving production integrity.
If your principal actor dies within 24h of filming being completed on series 3, it limits prospects of a series 4. Unless you pull a Summer Wine maneuvre, and wheel in someone new to round out the core trio, perhaps cast as Ted's even zanier brother who also happens to be a Priest too.
Which would ruin it.
So while trying to be technically correct, I have in fact argued myself around to agreeing with you: In either case, you're right. Running out of stories, or running out of original actor; same result of lowered quality.

Apparently
the third series was always going to be the last one anyway, hence the conditional statement
