A brand new teaser trailer for Red Dwarf XII has launched, and what the smeg? Has Rimmer gone back in time?!

Actually, now that we've listened to Holly's sage advice, we doubt it. "It's Monday and you're standing in a corridor," he reassures us.

Watch a short but sweet brand new trailer for series 12 of Red Dwarf below.

This is the first proper look at Holly's return to the cult sci-fi comedy series following the announcement that Norman Lovett would be back as the inept computer after drying out.

"Yes, it's true," writer and director Doug Naylor announced earlier this month. "Holly, played by Norman Lovett, guest stars in one of the new shows in Red Dwarf XII. But which show remains a secret!"

And to be honest, a lot of things about the upcoming series are remaining secret – or at least shrouded in enough mystery that we can't quite figure it out.

Last month, we finally discovered the titles for series 12's six episodes, and they were pretty damn cryptic. Well, what did we expect really?

One thing we do know is that the core four of Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Robert Llewellyn and Danny John-Jules are all back on board as Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat respectively.

We can't smegging wait!

Red Dwarf will return to Dave for its 12th series on Thursday, October 12.
