”Red Dwarf” is a British, comedy, scifi TV series that takes place in the far reaches of space and in the distan future. It is the creation of Grant Naylor, Rob Naylor and Doug Naylor and based on David Hollins creation called ”Space Cadet”. It was directed by Ed Bye, Juliet May, Grant Naylor, Andy de Emmony and Doug Naylor. The talented cast of actors include Chris Barrie, Craig Charles, Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn, David Ross, Craig Bierko, Chris Eigeman, Anthony Fuscle, Hinton Battle, Terry Farrell, Jane Leeves, Chloe Annett, Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge. It won an International Emmy Award and Best BBC Comedy Series at the British Comedy Awards. This is a hilarious sitcom and I highly recommend it.

”Red Dwarf” is the story of a group of misfits stuck in space with each other and how that situation could drive anyone insane. It´s a simple idea that works. The setting of the series is onboard the large mining spacecraft Red Dwarf owned by the Jupiter Mining Corporation. After an accident kills the crew the main character David Lister, played by Craig Charles, awakens from suspended animation to an empty ship. With only the Cat, played by Danny John-Jules, a robot named Kryten, played by David Ross and Robert Llewellyn, a talking hologram of his bunkmate named Arnold Judas Rimmer, played by Chris Barrie, and the sarcastic computer, played by Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge, Lister and his companions stumble through various misadventures surviving on chicken vindaloo, deluded notions and humor.

This TV series is a comedy classic that is both unique and very funny. It´s the kind of show that can be enjoyed over and over again. I highly recommend ”Red Dwarf” as a must see and own.
