What is RED DWARF?
RED DWARF is a British science fiction comedy series that has been on the air in the U.K. since 1988. It is the brainchild of “Grant Naylor”, a creative team consisting of Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, who write and produce the show. The premise of the show is best summed up by the opening narration used in the first series: “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 survivors 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.
