Resolution Of The Series VIII Cliffhanger

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

After the joke in "The Beginning" I thought this was out of the question, but a Twitter exchange between Doug and Kill Crazy actor Jake Wood today seems to indicate otherwise.

For those who don't know, Jake Wood is a successful soap star in the UK and also recently won Strictly Come Dancing, so I doubt he's just touting for work without having been approached.  Apparently he's taking a year off from "Eastenders".

So if Kill Crazy may be making a reappearance, I don't see how that could be done without explaining what happened at the end of Series VIII.  Personally, I could have happily never found out, but if we get that I will be intrigued to see what Doug comes up with.

So what's everyone else's thoughts?  Would you be interested to possibly see a flashback with Hollister and maybe Rimmer-as-Ace saving the day?  Or is your instinctive reaction the same as I've seen elsewhere, along the lines of "Oh God, no!  Stay away from Series VIII!" ;)
