RED DWARF I
byte one: The End
- The End
- A radiation leak wipes out the crew of the mining ship Red
Dwarf, leaving only one survivor Chicken Soup Machine Repair Man,
Dave Lister. After three million years in suspended animation, Lister
emerges to find he is the last human being in the universe. But he is not
alone.
- Future Echoes
- When Red Dwarf breaks the speed of light, time dilates, and the
crew begin to experience visions from their own futures. Sadly for Lister
his future appears to include being reduced to his component atoms by a
rather large explosion. Happily for Rimmer, Lister's future appears to
include being reduced to his component atoms by a rather large
explosion.
- Balance of Power
- Rimmer encounters his most dangerous blood chilling challenge ever -
Lister is taking the chef's exam. If Lister passes he will hold sufficient

universe's most obnoxious dead man stoop to stop him?

byte two: Confidence and Paranoia
- Confidence and Paranoia
- Lister contracts a mutated pneumonia virus. The hallucinations of his
fevered brain materialize in solid form, and suddenly the ship is beset by

fever breaks, Lister wakes up to find he has created personifications of
his Confidence and Paranoia, and a war of manipulation begins.
- Waiting For God
- Holly, the ship's computer, recovers a strange, unidentified pod
floating in the frozen wastes of Deep Space. Rimmer is convinced it
contains the remains of a long-dead alien warrior, and immediately begins
a scientific investigation to decipher the pod's hieroglyphics. Meanwhile,
Lister's rather mundane day perks up when he discovers he is a God.
- Me^2
- Rimmer, the odious hologram, creates his perfect companion - an
identical duplicate of himself. He moves out of his quarters he shares
with Lister and starts rooming with his doppelganger. At first things are
blissful, but the course of true love never runs smoothly, and soon the
two Rimmers find themselves locked in a conflict so fierce, only one of
them can survive.

sensation sweeping the solar system. Just dream and pleasure will be
yours! Unless you have a mind like Rimmer's that is... with Ron Pember
as The Taxman.
- Thanks for the Memory

plaster...have the aliens landed at last?

of the Red Dwarf. Will Lister and Cat lead a revolt after they've
