From: B.J.Williams@newcastle.ac.uk (Barry Williams) Newsgroups: alt.tv.red-dwarf Subject: Episode Guide *** Red Dwarf episode guide *** Started by: Eric Reuter Updated and Corrected by: Barry Williams Debut: A British series following the strange adventures of Dave Lister, the lone survivor of a disaster in outer space that wipes out his ship's crew. %----------------------------------------------------------------- This is an S.O.S. distress call from the mining ship Red Dwarf. The crew are dead, killed by a radiation leak. The only survivours are: Dave Lister, who was in suspended animation during the disaster, and his pregnant cat, who was safely sealed in the hold. Revived three-million years later, Lister's only companions are: a life form who evolved from his cat, and Arnold Rimmer, a hologram simulation of one of the dead crew. -- Holly (opening speech) %------------------------------------------------------------------ * End credit song lyrics * It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere, I'm all alone, more or less. Let me fly far away from here, fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun. I want to live shipwrecked and comatosed, drinking fresh mango juice. Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes, fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun, fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun. %----------------------------------------------------------------- ** Red Dwarf I ** first run 1988 Arnold J.

Twelve months have passed. Lister has given birth to twin boys but was forced to return them to their father. Kryten returns after...oh, just watch it. Three million years in the future, Dave Lister, the last human being alive, discovers he is pregnant after a liason with his female self in a parallel universe. His pregnancy concludes with the successful delivery of twin boys, Jim and Bexley. However, because the boys were conceived in another universe, with different physical laws, they suffer from highly accelorated growth rates and are both eighteen years old within three days of being born. In order to save their lives, Lister returns them to the universe of their origin, where they are reunited with their father (a woman), and are able to lead comparatively normal lives. Well, as normal as you can be if you've been born in a parallel universe and your father's a woman and your mother's a man and you're eighteen years old three days after your birth. Shortly afterwards, Kryten, the service mechanoid, who had left the ship after being rescued from his own crashed vessel, the Nova 5, is found in pieces after his space bike crashed into an astroid. Lister rebuilds the 'roid, but is unable to recapture his former personality. Meanwhile, Holly, the increasingly erratic Red Dwarf computer, performs a head sex change operation on himself. He bases his new face on Hilly, a female computer with whom he'd once fallen madly in love. ...and now the saga continuums Red Dwarf III: The Same Generation...nearly -- Opening crawl from _Backwards_ Arnold Rimmer.........................Chris Barrie Dave Lister...........................Craig Charles Holly.................................Hattie Hayridge Cat...................................Danny John-Jules Kryten................................Robert Llewellyn Written by............................Rob Grant & Doug Naylor Music.................................Howard Goodall Unit Manager..........................Janet Smith Graphic Designer......................Mark Allen Camera Supervisor.....................Dave Fox Vision Mixer..........................Sonia Lovett Technical Coordinator.................Tony Smith Prop Buyer............................Stella McIntyre Visual Effects Designer...............Peter Wragg Videotape Editor......................Ed Wooden Assistant Floor Manager...............Dona DiStefano Producer's Assistant..................Christina Hamilton Production Manager....................Mike Agnew Costume Designer......................Howard Burden Make-up Designer......................Bethan Jones Sound Supervisor......................Tony Worthington Lighting Director.....................John Pomphrey Designer..............................Mel Bibby Assistant Producer....................Gilly Archer Executive Producer....................Paul Jackson Production............................Ed Bye, Rob Grant, Doug Naylor Directed by...........................Ed Bye A Paul Jackson Production for BBC North West first run 1989 13.
