Hopelessly lost in space, this crew of mostly sad-act bachelors kill time and share adventure aboard the mining ship Red Dwarf.
Did you know Edit. Trivia Hattie Hayridge replacing Norman Lovett as Holly in series 3 was due to Lovett falling out with the producers over him not wanting to attend rehearsals in London because he was now living in Edinburgh with his future wife, and them wanting to cut his pay as a result. Goofs Cat is supposedly descended from Lister's cat 3 million years earlier. There wouldn't be enough genetic diversity in such a scenario, and the increasing levels of inbreeding would have wiped the cats out long before evolving into humanoid form.
Quotes [repeated line] Lister : Smeg! Crazy credits The closing credits in the remastered version of Red Dwarf: Backwards are in reverse. Alternate versions A video, "Red Dwarf VII: X-tended" 3 November was released containing extended editions of three episodes from the seventh series - "Tikka to Ride", "Ouroboros" and "Duct Soup", including fifty new bloopers and the full-length version of the Rimmer Munchkin Song from the end of "Blue". User reviews Review. Top review. An underrated gem!
Although Red Dwarf is over 17 years old now, it's only in the last year or so that I've seen it in-depth. Fortunately my concerns were unfounded, as it is one of the funniest sitcoms I've ever seen. The reason for this, in my opinion, is the terrific writing by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor - who also wrote the excellent Spitting Image.
Of course, good writing would be useless without good actors delivering the lines, fortunately ever part in Red Dwarf is perfectly cast. Craig Charles an unknown stand up comic before he was cast and Chris Barrie who previously worked with Grant and Naylor on Spitting Image are both excellent in the lead roles of Dave Lister and Arnold Rimmer respectively. Robert Llwellyn, who plays Kryten, an android, only joined Red Dwarf in season 3, but quickly established himself as a lot of peoples favourite character.
My favourite character, however, has to be the Cat, played by Danny John-Jules, mainly for the outlandish outfits he habitually wears. The sun, by comparison, has a temperature of 9, F 5, C. The low temperatures of red dwarfs mean they are far, far dimmer than stars like the sun. Their low temperature also means that they burn through their supply of hydrogen less rapidly. While other, more massive stars burn through only the hydrogen at their core before coming to the end of their lifetimes, red dwarfs consume all of their hydrogen, inside and outside their core.
This stretches out the lifetime of red dwarfs to trillions of years; far beyond the billion-year lifetime of sun-like stars. Scientists occasionally have difficulty distinguishing a red dwarf star from a brown dwarf. Brown dwarfs are cool and dim, and likely form the same way red dwarfs do, but brown dwarfs never reach the point of fusion because they're too small, and therefore, they're not considered stars.
To figure out whether a celestial object is a brown or red dwarf, scientists measure the temperature of the object's atmosphere. Fusion-free brown dwarfs are cooler than 2, Kelvin 3, F or 1, C , while hydrogen-fusing stars are warmer than 2, K 4, F or 2, C. In between, a star could be classified as a red dwarf or brown dwarf.
Sometimes, chemicals in the object's atmosphere can reveal clues about what's happening at its heart. According to Burgasser, the presence of molecules like methane or ammonia, which can only survive at cold temperatures, suggests that an object is a brown dwarf.
Lister, the lowest ranking crewmember of Red Dwarf , smuggled a pregnant cat , Frankenstein on board after shore leave on Titan. He was caught in possession of an illegal animal, but refused to surrender it to the ship's captain for dissection.
As punishment he was sentenced to eighteen months in suspended animation. However, during this time, a radiation leak killed every living thing on board Red Dwarf except for Lister and his cat, who was safely stashed in the ship's vast cargo hold. After three million years, when the radiation finally faded into background levels, Lister was revived by the ship's artificial intelligence Holly to discover that he is the last human being alive, but he is not alone.
Lister and his companions make up the regular characters of the show, the Boys from the Dwarf. As Lister makes his way back to Earth his only companions are Arnold Rimmer , a hologramatic representation of a dead shipmate, and Cat , a member of a feline race that evolved from Lister's pet cat and who was, other than Lister, the only known remaining living being aboard the vessel.
The revived series on digital channel Dave has consistently delivered some of the highest ratings for non-Public Service Broadcasting commissions in the UK.
