SUMMARY
While Dave Lister is in
stasis as punishment for smuggling a cat aboard the
mining vessel Red Dwarf, the ship's crew is wiped out in
an explosion. Lister is reactivated three million years
later, the last survivor of the human race. His only
company is Holly, the ship's senile computer, a hologram
of Arnold Rimmer, his anally retentive bunk mate and a
life form that evolved from his cat.
CAPSULE REVIEW
A solid if unspectacular
start to the series that sets up the basic scenario and
introduces all of the main characters. Nothing
outstanding, but intriguing enough to get viewers hooked.
