Red Dwarf's Back!

Heya, Bellistik here!

It's been nearly 3 decades since the first episode of Red Dwarf and their back once again! Scheduled to be aired in 2016, Craig Charles (Lister), Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Danny John-Jules (Cat) and Robert Llewellyn (Kryton) reunite for seasons XI and XII. 

Red Dwarf

Synopsis


Red Dwarf is an English sitcom first aired in 1988. In the beginning we're introduced to the crew of the space craft Red Dwarf. We meet Arnold Rimmer who is an uptight do-gooder in charge of Dave Lister who has no care for authority or personal hygiene. They humorously clash as they work together on the ships maintenance. Rimmer hopes to pass exams to be promoted on the ship and Lister plans to have a farm on Fiji in his future. After the captain discovers Lister has smuggled a cat on board he is promptly put into stasis for 6 months as a punishment.

Lister comes out of stasis to discover there's been a radiation leak in the ship which killed the crew. Holly (The ship's main computer) had to wait until it was safe to allow Lister to come out, 3 million years later. He believes he is the only survivor and finds himself with a holographic projection of Rimmer. They soon discover they're not alone, Lister's cat Frankenstein had kittens and over the 3 million years, they evolved and we are introduced to a very vain character called “Cat”.

We soon meet Kryton, a butler robot and we follow the 4 across space and 10 seasons. With huge laughs coupled with SciFi; aliens, Time travel, multi-dimensions etc., it's a brilliant show. If you've never seen it before I scream, “WHY NOT!?” Hurry up and watch some Red Dwarf!



I can't wait for the new seasons. While we wait, SighFye and I have been re-watching old episodes as they're still hilarious.

Have fun
