THE ORIGINAL PILOT SHOW
THE END

A radiation leak wipes out the crew of the mining ship Red Dwarf, leaving only one survivor — Chicken Soup Machine Repair Man, Dave Lister. After three million years in suspended animation, Lister emerges to find he is the last human being in the universe. But he is not alone.

FUTURE ECHOES

When Red Dwarf breaks the speed of light, time dilates, and the crew begin to experience visions from their own futures. Sadly for Lister his future appears to include being reduced to his component atoms by a rather large explosion. Happily for Rimmer, Lister’s future appears to include being reduced to his component atoms by a rather large explosion.

BALANCE OF POWER

Rimmer encounters his most dangerous blood chilling challenge ever — Lister is taking the chef’s exam. If Lister passes he will hold sufficient rank to have Rimmer replaced as the ship’s hologram. Just how low will the universe’s most obnoxious dead man stoop to stop him?
