Story

The main site of action is the mining giant spaceship Red Dwarf. In the first episode, the deadly release of radiation killed all life on the spaceship, except for Dave Lister, who was in the moderator of time, and his pregnant cat Frankenstein. Holly, a board computer holds Lister in the moderator as long as the radiation level does not subside to a safe level, which takes 3 million years. Holly brings to life Lister’s captain Arnold Rimmer in the form of hologram.

At the beginning of the series, the main task of Lister and his companions is to return to Earth. They face temporary distortions, mutants and strange diseases that have arisen over the last 3 million years.

In the second season, they find Krayt, who becomes a permanent member of the crew.

At the end of the fifth season, characters leave the self-destroying Red Dwarf and for two seasons continue the journey on a small spaceship Star Beetle.

In the seventh season, Rimmer leaves the crew to travel to a parallel universe.

In the eighth season with the help of microscopic robots Red Dwarf is being restored together with its dead crew. The show ends with a space virus eating the spaceship that makes the entire crew evacuate.

The ninth season is characterized by the fact that it has only three episodes and in fact almost all consists of references to the film Bladerunner.

The 10th season was released in 2012 and is about the crew finding the spaceship Trojan.

In the eleventh season, the crew comes to modern version of America, where the modern technology is banned.
