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 3 million years in suspended animation, Lister emerges to find he is the last human being in the universe. But he is not alone
So the scene was set for The End, the original pilot episode of the cult series, Red Dwarf. First broadcast in 1988, the series has since developed a massive worldwide cult following and it still holds the record for being BBC2s longest running, highest rated sitcom.
Red Dwarf was created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor and their collaboration with BBC Worldwide has resulted in a first-class version on DVD. The two-disc set features all six un-remastered episodes from first series as well as over 90 minutes of bonus material including deleted scenes, smeg-ups, trailers and a unique commentary by the original cast members who were reunited specially for this purpose.
Synopsis
The long awaited DVD release of Red Dwarf Series One has finally reached planet Earth. Introducing Dave Lister, chicken-soup-machine repair man and sole survivor of a radiation leak aboard Red Dwarf, the legendary intergalactic mining ship careering through space three million years in the future. With all his fellow crew members eradicated, Listers bizarre companions are a holographic reincarnation of pedantic officer Rimmer, a robot called Kryten, Humanoid feline Cat and the ships computer Holly.

I didn't think I'd enjoy this series a single bit - purely because it's set in space and sci fi generally bores me. However, seeing how I bought this for my boyfriend (his favourite television series as a kid), I was somewhat obligated to watch it with him. And I must say, it was quite a surprise.
There isn't too much jargon which was a good start. And the cat is a real show-stealer! My only complaint is that it was a bit hard for me to catch what the actors were saying (my fault for being unable to decipher the accents) but the storylines were portrayed well enough that it wasn't too much of a problem if I missed random bits of conversation.
I really enjoyed the first season and I can't wait to see more of the series!

Very clever indeed! Except for the fact that Kryten does not actually appear in this series till the second season. Nevertheless this is the first series in television cult classic. The space adventures of a misfit trio -Lister the remaining human survivor of the space vessel Red Dwarf, Cat the vain and self absorbed evolved feline and Rimmer the snobbish hologram.
Apparently made on a shoestring budget but still garnering a huge audience and fanbase from it's very outrageously British humour. This first series shows us the demise of the Red Dwarf former crew accept for the crogenically frozen Lister.
Together with Cat and Rimmer, the oddball crew traipse from one space misadventure to another.
Very smart and funny.

Firstly, Kryten is not in this series, he joins the gang in the second series. This series appeals to more than just sci-fi enthusiasts, with it's superb British humor and hilarious banter between the characters, anyone who likes a good laugh or a clever script will enjoy this series. Our whole family sits down to enjoy this one!
