About this show

Cult sci-fi comedy following a gang of space bums across the galaxy as they face shapeshifting aliens, time holes and even a monster made from mutton vindaloo. When a radiation leak wipes out the entire crew of his ship, Dave Lister wakes up three million years later to find his only companions are a life-form evolved from his cat and Arnold J Rimmer, a hologram simulation of his pedantic dead bunk-mate. Aimlessly roaming the universe, the ramshackle crew encounter danger and disaster at every turn. Can they stay alive long enough to find a way back to Earth?

I love this show, stumbled across it in the wee hours of the morning after working 12hr shift at my nursing job. I never laughed so hard in my life. Thinking i must have just been too tired and just rummy, I tooned in the next night. I found myself in tears laughing. I called my brother in MD to tell him. He already found it so we watched it together for many years on the phone, 3000 mls apart. still love the show.

I've been watching this show since the late 80's. Just like to Say Thanks to PBS for Making Red Dwarf Possible for Us to watch here in the USA or I would never have known of this show Red Dwarf. I've seen every episode they have ever had so far. And, this show never gets old cause it's just that good. I purchased the full eight seasons on dvd a couple of years ago. And, season 9, and season 10 on dvd. I'm now re-purchasing all seasons on Google Play. I wanted my collection to be digitalized in the Cloud. So, I can watch any episode anytime without messing with any dvd's. And, it is Brilliant. This show "Red Dwarf" Ultimately Rocks.

If you love British Comedy, give this underrated Gem a go! Brilliant sci-Fi Satire as only the Brits can do it! Highly recommended episode: "Tikka to Ride", where they go back in time and screw up the Kennedy Assassination. Just remember, thats not chicken!
