To my count, only the second successful comedy
show to combine science fiction and comedy. (After The Hitch Hikers Guide)
The show follows the very amusing premise of the last human being alive
being a space bum. Dave Lister and the crew of Red Dwarf, Three million
years from earth desperately try to find there way back to home. There
have been some brilliant stories since the show began back in 1987, but
not everybody needs to know how Lister cam open beer bottles with his anus.

CULTV EXCLUSIVE
(BEWARE: THIS CONTAINS EPISODE SPOILERS) Continuing from season 7, the
crew find them self's at less then a hundredth of the size of Red Dwarf
and the ship keeps expanding. After they manage to fly through some air
vents in the ship, get Starbug stuck up a rats bottom, Lister's body restored
and get back to normal size, they discover that not only have the nano-bots
restored the ship, but also all of it's crew. Lister's of course meets
up with the very alive Rimmer and the fun begins. Captain Holister throws
the crew into floor 13 for misbehaving, where all the psychos that
nobody knew the ship was carrying are kept. It is thought the the full
crew will be deserted (Mainly by Rimmer) After he has to go to a Mirror
universe to find the cure for a virus that is going to destroy the ship.
There are many prison-esq scenes in the first couple of episodes including
a very amusing Basket ball game where our heroes have to face the wardens.
They eventually win by spiking there drink with a drug that makes all men
stand to attention. (If you catch my drift) The show is shot on video tape
(Not film) this season and includes many old faces from the first two seasons.
(Including Nigel from East Enders reprising his season one role, Captain
Holister and Tony Slatery as a vending machine. Also lookout for Kyten
throwing Chris a 'Congratulations on your period party' Stay Tuned for
more spoilers in the next couple of weeks'
