About this show

Cult sci-fi comedy following a gang of space bums across the galaxy as they face shapeshifting aliens, time holes and even a monster made from mutton vindaloo. When a radiation leak wipes out the entire crew of his ship, Dave Lister wakes up three million years later to find his only companions are a life-form evolved from his cat and Arnold J Rimmer, a hologram simulation of his pedantic dead bunk-mate. Aimlessly roaming the universe, the ramshackle crew encounter danger and disaster at every turn. Can they stay alive long enough to find a way back to Earth?

Best British comedy ever alongside some classic shows from this era such as bread, only fools, blackadder which is a good table to sit at. The irreverent mix of crazy but we'll thought out storylines and the chemistry between the characters makes this a quality low budget cult classic. All the characters stand up in there own right which is a quality often missing on other shows.

Only SD, which is to be expected. Great series, but there have been some minor changes. Most notably the tune played at George McIntyre's funeral in Episode 1 is different. In the original it was "See you later alligator" by Bill Haley & his Comets. This has been replaced by "Here we go, here we go" (artist unknown). This detracts slightly and was probably a licencing issue. Otherwise great.
