Radio Times Movie Poll Places Dwarf High
The people want a movie!
29 August, 2008
Despite the huge kerfuffle going on in our Forum right now - discussing the forthcoming Red Dwarf television project - it seems the voting pubic are still as keen as ever to catch sight of a big screen movie version of the show.
The poll, which was conducted by the Radio Times Website,
asked Which TV show would you most like to see turned into a movie?
The results are a gob-smacking result for Red Dwarf, placing us only just below Doctor Who - the biggest show on British TV right now - and at number two right alongside Friends, which has been denying persistent rumours of a film continuation ever since Sex and the City took oodles at the box office.
Here's the top ten:
| 1 | Doctor Who (new) | 11% |
| 2= | Friends | 10% |
| 2= | Red Dwarf | 10% |
| 4 | Heroes | 9% |
| 5 | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation | 7% |
| 6 | Spooks | 6% |
| 7= | 24 | 5% |
| 7= | Lost | 5% |
| 7= | Torchwood | 5% |
| 7= | The Prisoner | 5% |
Red Dwarf beat out big, cinematic shows like Heroes, 24 and Lost, as well as hits including CSI, House and Torchwood. The only other non-Who British entry on the list was, coincidentally, also the only other show not recently in production - Patrick McGoohan's classic The Prisoner, which is currently being remade by ITV.
People want new Dwarf even more than a working copy of Better Than Life!
