Season 4 episodes (6)

1 Camille

2/14/91

Kryten, Red Dwarf's on-board mechanoid, rescues a female droid - Camille - from a crashed vessel. She's a 4000 series just like him, only a GTi model with realistic toes and a slide-back sunroof head. Kryten finds himself falling in advanced mutual compatibility on the basis of a primary ident (what humans call "love at first sight"), only to find that true advanced mutual compatibility never runs in a non-glitch, bug-free way.

2 DNA

2/21/91

The crew lock on to an unidentified craft containing the ultimate genetic engineering technology - a machine that can transform any living thing into any other living thing, by re-writing its DNA. A blessing or a curse? Then Lister's curry finds its way into the transmogrifier and assumes near-human form.

3 Justice

2/28/91

Innate justice does not exist anywhere in the known universe except, that is, for Justice World, an abandoned penal colony equipped with a "justice field" which inflicts the consequences of a crime on its perpetrator. The innocent have nothing to fear. Rimmer is in big trouble.

4 White Hole

3/2/91

Holly regains her genius level IQ and for reasons blest known to herself powers down the ship, leaving the crew drifting helplessly towards a White Hole. Will Rimmer sacrifice his hologramatic life to save the rest of the crew?

5 Dimension Jump

3/9/91

In a universe almost identical to our own, another Arnold Rimmer exists. A test pilot in the Space Corps, he is charming, popular, brave and modest. After his test craft breaks the speed of reality, he finds himself face to face with his counterpart aboard Red Dwarf.

6 Meltdown

3/16/91

A matter transporter whisks the crew to Waxworld - a giant theme park, where the waxdroids have broken their programming, and are running amok. Hitler, Caligula and the Boston Strangler lead an army of darkness against the forces of Elvis, Gandhi and Stan Laurel.

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?

My favourite show of all time anytime, anywhere. This is the answer to the stupid question what would you watch for the rest of your life if you only had one thing to watch. I have a major crush on Craig Barry. He has my favourite English accent. All the shows characters were so well thought out, and I thought the story was just brilliant! *tears of humble joy searing down my cheeks* I love this show with everything that I am. Thank you.

Either i'm mentally ill or this show has more Replay Value than anything i'e ever watched. Like a great album its not the jazziest or hardest to play. But the timing and the way the band feed off each others talents just makes for a timeless classic no matter how many times you play it. 10/10 really pulls its weight

HILARIOUS..... Each of the 4 guys is outrageous in his own way. Cat is clever, laugh out loud stuff.. If you have never watched Red Dwarf (firstly, shame on you) start at the very first one or you will never fully understand exactly WTF... not to mention meeting the cat for the first time is a joyous thing.... ♡
