Revision as of 18:48, 10 June 2002 by Mav (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Red Dwarf was a British (comedy) science fiction series, which parodies most (if not all) of the sub-genres of the medium.
Red Dwarf is a huge spaceship lost in space and time. It is crewed by the slob anti-hero Lister (played by Craig Charles), the android Kryten [[, a hologrammatic representation of the deceased Arnold J. Rimmer, and Cat (Felis Sapiens), a descendant of a domestic cat which Lister smuggled onto the ship which became humanoid whilst retaining a cat-like interest in fish and a heightened interest in fashion), as well as Holly, the ship's computer.
A pilot episode for an American version was produced, though never broadcast. The show was essentially the same, substituting American actors for the British. A notable exception was Robert Llewellyn, who reprised his role as Kryten. Another notable difference was that it was not funny.
