Welcome aboard the Space Corps Jupiter Mining Vessel, the Red Dwarf.

"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. Message ends."

This site is dedicated to the British science fiction comedy sitcom Red Dwarf. Within the site, one can find information on the history of the show's production, biographies of the show's characters, a summary of the plot, and a discussion on the themes adressed (both directly and indirectly) in the show. It is hoped that this will serve as a comprehensive guide to the series for those who are interested in watching it.
