Season One
The
End
The
mining ship Red Dwarf is five miles long and three miles
wide, with a crew of 169. Within 24 hours, 168 of them will be
dead, but at least the cat survives, and one crew member – the
scummiest one.

Having
accelerated constantly for three million years, Red Dwarf
breaks the light barrier. Rimmer and Lister overtake themselves in
time and witness images of their future, the latter ending up by
taking a snapshot of himself with his two newly born sons, as
better described in the final episode of Season 2, Parallel
Universe.

The trial of Lister,

psychotropic drugs on them. Under the influence, they think they
are escaping, and resort to cunning Dwayne Dibbley-style disguises
to foil their pursuers. Arnold "Judas" Rimmer, after
selling Lister out, uses the sexual magnetism virus to finally get
his end away, but finds its appeal is not limited just to the
women he might fancy, but every woman he comes into contact with.
He soon finds his "resolve" is flagging, unlike his

For making a

are challenged to a guard-versus-inmates basketball match. Facing
slaughter during the match, Lister has paid off a scutter to
spike the guards' mid-match drinks, "stiffening" them up
for a more inmates-friendly second half. As the consequences of
that effort die down, the Canaries are sent on a mission where
Kochanski discovers a time wand, enabling Kryten to alter pockets
of time around individuals. With this they may be able to shorten
their prison sentences to zero, but when Kryten tries to bring a
bird back to life, something goes dreadfully wrong…
