It has just been announced (by Robert Llewellyn at a convention) that the BBC have commissioned a 60 minute Red Dwarf episode to be filmed in October 08 with original cast and writers.
Now I know many think the series lost it's way in series 7 and 8, but the episodes of 8 that had the budget were actually very good, so a one off special sounds like it could work.
Anyway, the Official Red Dwarf site hasn't posted the news yet, but it does sound pretty definite.
Update:
3 episodes from 10-12th April.
Making of and outtakes/best of by Patrick Stewart.

Awesome news, although I hope they do not use the proposed film idea for the special.
Can't wait for more news on this!

This is what I found earlier
The cast of Red Dwarf will reportedly reunite for a series of new shows to be broadcast on digital channel Dave in 2009.
The Sun states that Craig Charles, Chris Barrie, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn and Chloe Annett will appear in four 30-minute specials that will combine new material with classic footage of the cult BBC Two sitcom.
Red Dwarf ran for eight seasons between 1988 and 1999. Numerous attempts to finance a cinematic version of the programme have failed in recent years.
Co-creator Doug Naylor stated in 2007 that the BBC had opted not to pursue a ninth season of the show, despite its previous commercial success.
New material with classic footage? :/ I don't know about that.

Hmmm, so this is what happened to the supposed Red Dwarf movie?
I alway thought when Kristine Kochanski was reintroduced (as Chloe Annet), the series was going somewhat downhill, but that may just be me.

Cyber what? Robot wars was good until he showed up.
I'm a little worried about a 'modern day' red dwarf. If they can't get away with some of the previous things (post political correctness) then there really isn't any point. Anyway, lets just hope.

It's The Sun, Machie.
The current plan is for a one off episode to mark the anniversary, possibly for broadcast at Christmas.

Aww come on guys, The Sun is a reliable source. 50% of the time they get it right every time.
Any more news?
He did mention on his twitter about a one hour special so you might be right about the sun afteral.
