Red Dwarf's current design from Series X onwardsThe main setting of the series is the eponymous mining spaceship Red Dwarf. In the first episode, set sometime in the late 22nd century, an on-board radiation leak kills everyone except lowest-ranking technician Dave Lister, who is in at the time, and his pregnant cat, Frankenstein, who is safe in the cargo hold. Following the accident, the ship's computer keeps Lister in stasis until the radiation levels return to normal—a process that takes three million years. Lister therefore emerges as the last human being in the universe—but not alone on-board the ship. His former bunkmate and immediate superior Arnold Judas Rimmer (a character plagued by failure) is resurrected by Holly as a to keep Lister sane. They are joined by a creature known only as, the last member of a race of humanoid that evolved in the ship's hold from Lister's pregnant cat during the 3 million years that Lister was in stasis.The series revolves around Lister being the last human alive, 3 million years from Earth, with his companions.

The crew encounters phenomena such as time distortions, faster-than-light travel, mutant diseases and strange lifeforms (all evolved from Earth, because the series has no aliens) that had developed in the intervening millions of years. Though it has a science fiction setting, much of the humour comes from the interactions of the characters, particularly the laid-back Lister and the stuck-up Rimmer.Despite the of science fiction used as a backdrop, Red Dwarf is primarily a character-driven comedy, with science fiction elements used as complementary. Especially in the early episodes, a recurring source of comedy was the -style relationship between the two central characters of the show, who have an intense dislike for each other yet are trapped together deep in space.In Series III, the computer Holly changes from male to female , and the (who had appeared in in Series II ) joins the crew and becomes a regular character.In Series VI, a story arc is introduced where Red Dwarf has been stolen, and the crew pursues it in the smaller Starbug craft, with the side effect that the character Holly disappears.Series VII is also set in Starbug. Early in series VII, Rimmer departs (due to actor Chris Barrie's commitments) and is replaced by, Lister's long-term love interest, from an alternate universe. Kochanski becomes a regular character for Series VII and VIII.At the end of Series VII, we learn that Kryten's service, which had abandoned him years earlier, were behind the theft of the Red Dwarf at the end of series five. At the beginning of the eighth series, Kryten's nanobots reconstruct the Red Dwarf, which they had broken down into its constituent atoms.As a consequence, Series VIII features the entire original crew of Red Dwarf resurrected (except for the already-alive Lister and Kochanski), including a pre-accident Rimmer; and the original male Holly. The series ends with a metal-eating virus loose on Red Dwarf.

The entire crew evacuates save the main cast (Lister, Rimmer, Cat, Kryten and Kochanski), whose fate is unresolved in a.Series IX onwards revert to the same four main characters of Series 3–6 (Lister, Rimmer, Cat and Kryten), on Red Dwarf and without Kochanski or Holly; Rimmer reappears as a hologram once again. It has not been confirmed whether the Rimmer onboard ship is the one who originally left, the revived version, or a third incarnation entirely; however, episodes have alluded to him remembering events from both previous incarnations' lives.Characters and actors. Main article:. Bsc Ssc ('Bronze swimming certificate' and 'Silver swimming certificate'), played by, was the second-lowest-ranking member of the crew while they were all alive. He is a fussy, coward who, by failing to replace a drive plate properly, is responsible for the Red Dwarf cadmium II accident that kills the entire crew (including himself) except Lister. Nevertheless, Holly chose him to be the ship's one available hologram because he considered him the person most likely to keep Lister sane.

During Series VII, Rimmer leaves the dimension shared by his crewmates to become his swashbuckling dimensional counterpart, Ace Rimmer. Along with the Red Dwarf ship and its crew, Rimmer is resurrected at the start of Series VIII by nanobots. He comes face to face with at the end of the series, whom he kicks in the groin. From Back to Earth onwards, he is once again a hologram, although to what circumstances lead to this is never elaborated., played by, is a genial and self-described bum. He was the lowest-ranking of the 169 crew members on the ship before the accident. Lister survived the accident, as he was in stasis for smuggling an unquarantined cat on board.

He has a long-standing desire to return to Earth and start a farm and/or diner on (which is under three feet of water following a volcanic eruption), but is left impossibly far away by the accident, which renders him the last (known) surviving member of the human race. He likes, especially chicken, which is a recurring theme in the series. From left to right:, and as they appeared in 2009's Back to Earth. The, played by, is a humanoid creature who evolved from the offspring of Lister's smuggled pet cat Frankenstein. Cat is concerned with little other than sleeping, eating, and fawning over his appearance, and tends not to socialise with other members of the crew in early episodes. He becomes more influenced by his human companions over time, and begins to resemble a stylish, self-centred human.

It is later revealed that, unlike his human companions, he has a 'cool' sounding pulse, six nipples, and colour-coordinated internal organs. (played by in series I, II, VIII, The Promised Land and a guest appearance in each of series VII and XII; and in series III to V), is the ship's computer.

Holly has a functional of 6000, although this is severely depleted by the three million years of runtime and lack of repairs. Holly is left alone after the radiation accident that kills Rimmer and the rest of the crew except for Lister and the Cat. The computer had developed 'computer senility' before the radiation accident, rendering it functionally inert. The change in appearance for series III is explained by Holly having changed his face to resemble that of a computer from a parallel universe 'with whom he'd once fallen madly in love'. Following an absence in series VI and the majority of series VII, Holly is back as his original male persona, being reset by the. From Back to Earth to series XII, Holly is absent once again due to Lister's bath overflowing, caused by him rushing out when hearing Kochanski had left, which got into Holly's circuity causing him to malfunction and go offline., full name Kryten 2X4B-523P (played by from series III onwards, and as a one-off appearance in series II by ), was rescued by the crew from the crashed spaceship Nova 5 in series II, upon which he had continued to serve the ship's crew despite their having been dead for thousands or even millions of years.

Kryten is a series 4000 service mechanoid and when first encountered by the crew, he was bound by his 'behavioural protocols', but Lister gradually encouraged him to break his programming and think for himself. His change in appearance between the two actors is explained away by an accident involving Lister's spacebike and Lister having to repair him. (originally portrayed by before took on the role from series VII) was initially a Red Dwarf navigation officer whom Lister had a crush on (later to be his ex-girlfriend) and whose memory he had cherished ever since. In one, the crew happens upon an alternative dimension where Kochanski survived the Red Dwarf cadmium II accident.

She joins Lister and the crew after the link to her own dimension collapses. By the first episode of the specials, Lister believes her dead, but it is later revealed that Kryten (the sole witness to her 'death') had lied to Lister. Kochanski had instead fled the ship in a Blue Midget when it became clear Lister's complete lack of self-respect and indulgence on excesses was slowly killing him, which greatly depressed her.

Lister is advised by fans of the television series to find her in 'the next series' and to make amends. Despite not making an appearance in the immediate series, she is mentioned at various points by Lister with hopes of reuniting with her.Production The first series aired on in 1988. Eleven full series and one miniseries have so far been produced, with a feature length special releasing in 2020.

Concept and commission The concept for the show was originally developed from the sketch series on the BBC Radio 4 show in the mid-1980s, written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. Their influences came from films and television programmes such as (1966), (1972), (1979), (1974) and (1981), but also had a large element of British-style comedy and satire thrown into the mix, ultimately moulded into the form of a sitcom. Many visual and character elements bear similarities to the Trident nuclear submarine BBC documentary Defence of the Realm. Having written the pilot script in 1983, the former writers pitched their unique concept to the BBC, but it was rejected on fears that a science fiction sitcom would not be popular.It was finally accepted by in 1986, a result of a spare budget being assigned for a second series of that would never arise, and producer 's insistence that Red Dwarf should be filmed instead. The show was lucky to be remounted after an ' partway through rehearsals in early 1987 shut the entire production down (the title sequence was filmed in January 1987). The filming was rescheduled for September, and the finally made it onto television screens on 15 February 1988.Despite the commission of further series, the cast felt like 'outsiders' at the BBC.

Co-creator attributed this to the show getting commissioned by, but filming at near where the cast lived in. When the show won an in, Naylor's attempts to have the cast invited to a party thrown by the BBC proved futile when they objected to and 's inclusion, claiming they were 'fire risks'. Casting and auditioned for roles in the series, with Molina being cast as Rimmer. However, after Molina had difficulties with the concept of the series, and of his role in particular, the role was recast and filled by, a professional voice-actor and impressionist who had previously worked with both the writers on, and with the producers on Happy Families and productions., a Liverpudlian 'punk poet', was given the role of Dave Lister.

He was approached by the production team for his opinion about the 'Cat' character, as they were concerned it may be considered by people as racist. Charles described 'Cat' as 'pretty cool' and after reading the script he decided he wanted to audition for the part of Dave Lister.

Laconic, who had originally tried out for the role of Rimmer, was kept in the show as Holly, the senile computer of the titular ship. A professional dancer and singer, arriving half an hour late for his appointment, stood out as the Cat immediately. This was partly due to his 'cool' exterior, dedicated research (reading 's book Catwatching), and his showing up in character, wearing his father's 1950s-style zoot suit. Writing, producing and directing Grant and Naylor wrote the first six series together (using the pseudonym Grant Naylor on the first two novels and later as the name of their production company, although never on the episodes themselves). Grant left in 1995, to pursue other projects, leaving Naylor to write series VII and VIII with a group of new writers, including Paul Alexander and actor Robert Llewellyn (who portrayed the character Kryten).For the most part, produced and directed the series. He left before series V due to a scheduling clash (he ended up directing a show starring his wife, ) so took over as director. May parted ways with the show halfway through the series for personal and professional reasons and Grant and Naylor took over direction of the series, in addition to writing and producing.

Series VI was directed by, and Ed Bye returned to direct series VII and VIII. Series I, II and III were made by Paul Jackson Productions, with subsequent series produced by the writers' own company Grant Naylor Productions for. All eight series were broadcast on BBC Two. At the beginning of series IV, production moved from BBC North's in to. Theme song and music The theme tune and incidental music were written and performed by, with the vocals on the closing theme tune. The first two series used a relatively sombre instrumental version of the closing theme for the opening titles; from series III onwards this switched to a more upbeat version. Goodall also wrote music for the show's various songs, including ', with lyrics written by Grant and Naylor.

Danny John-Jules (credited as 'The Cat') re-orchestrated and released 'Tongue Tied' in October 1993; it reached number 17 on the UK charts. Goodall himself sang 'The Rimmer Song' heard during the series VII episode 'Blue', to which Chris Barrie mimed. Remastered. Main article:In 1998, on the tenth anniversary of the show's first airing (and between the broadcast of series VII and VIII), the first three series of Red Dwarf were and released on.

The remastering included replacing model shots with computer graphics, cutting certain dialogue and scenes, re-filming Norman Lovett's Holly footage, creating a consistent set of opening titles, replacing music and creating ambient sound effects with a digital master. The remastered series were released in a 4-disc box set 'The Bodysnatcher Collection' in 2007.

When the series eventually returned, it was and no longer shot in front of a live audience, allowing for greater use of four-walled sets, location shooting, and techniques.

When the show returned for its eighth series two years later, it had dropped use of the filmising process and returned to using a live audience.The show received a setback when the BBC rejected proposals for a series IX. Doug Naylor confirmed in 2007 that the BBC decided not to renew the series as they preferred to work on other projects. A short animated Christmas special was, however, made available to mobile phone subscribers the same year.

Ultimately, however, fans had to wait a decade before the series returned to television.Revival Red Dwarf: Back to Earth. Main article:In 2008, a three-episode production was commissioned by the digital channel. Red Dwarf: Back to Earth was broadcast over the Easter weekend of 2009, along with a 'making of' documentary.

The episode was set nine years after the events of ' (with the cliffhanger ending of that episode left unresolved, a situation that would continue with series X). The storyline involves the characters arriving back on Earth, circa 2009, only to find that they are characters in a TV show called 'Red Dwarf'. Kochanski is supposedly dead and Holly is offline due to water damage caused by Lister leaving a tap running. Actress played a character called Katerina, a resurrected hologram of a Red Dwarf science officer intent on replacing Rimmer.To achieve a more cinematic atmosphere, Back to Earth was not filmed in front of a studio audience.

Some previous Red Dwarf episodes had been shot in that way (' and all of the seventh series), but Back to Earth represented the first time that a laughter track was not added before broadcast. It was also the first episode of Red Dwarf to be filmed in.The specials were televised over three nights starting on Friday 10 April 2009. The broadcasts received record ratings for Dave; the first of the three episodes represented the UK's highest-ever viewing figures for a commissioned programme on a digital network. Back to Earth was released on DVD on 15 June 2009, and on on 31 August 2009. Back to Earth was subsequently described on the series' official website as 'for all intents and purposes, the 'ninth series' of Red Dwarf'. This placement was confirmed when Series X was commissioned and branded as the tenth series, although Back to Earth continues not to be referred to as 'Series IX' on home media or digital releases.Red Dwarf X. Main article:On 10 April 2011 Dave announced it had commissioned a six-episode series X to be broadcast on Dave in late 2012.

Filming dates for the new series were announced on 11 November 2011, along with confirmation that the series would be shot at in front of an audience. Principal filming began on 16 December 2011 and ended on 27 January 2012, and the cast and crew subsequently returned for six days filming. Discounting guest stars, only the core cast of Charles, Barrie, Llewellyn and John-Jules returned for Series X, with Annett and Lovett absent, though the scripts include references to Kochanski and Holly.On 20 July 2012, a 55-second trailer for series X was released on, followed by a new teaser every Friday. The new series debuted on Thursday 4 October 2012. Red Dwarf XI and XII Following series X, which attracted high viewing figures, Dave, Doug Naylor and the cast showed strong interest in making another series. During the fan convention in May 2013, Doug Naylor stated that discussions were ongoing with all involved parties and while arrangements had not been finalised, he hoped shooting could begin in February 2014. In October 2013, Robert Llewellyn posted on his blog, stating that 'an eleventh series would happen' and that it would be 'sometime in 2014'.

Llewellyn later removed the post from his blog and Doug Naylor issued a statement on Twitter, saying: 'Getting tweets claiming Red Dwarf XI is commissioned. However, in January 2014 stated that the eleventh series of Red Dwarf was in the process of being written.At the April 2014 Sci-Fi Scarborough Festival, during the Red Dwarf cast panel, Danny John-Jules stated that filming of the eleventh series would commence in October 2014, with an expected release of Autumn 2015 on Dave.On 2 May 2015, at the Dimension Jump XVIII convention, Naylor announced that an eleventh and a twelfth series had been commissioned.

The two series would be shot back-to-back towards the end of 2015 for broadcast on Dave in 2016 and 2017, respectively, and would be co-produced by, with company CEO, executive producing the new episodes.Series XI and XII were filmed back-to-back at between November 2015 and March 2016. The eleventh series premiered on UKTV's service on 15 September 2016, a week ahead of its broadcast transmission on 22 September.On 8 September 2017, it was announced that Red Dwarf XII would begin broadcasting on Dave on 12 October 2017, and on 15 September 2017 it was further announced that each episode would preview a week earlier via the video on demand service, effectively meaning that series 12 would be starting on 5 October 2017.

Red Dwarf: The Promised Land. Main article:In late May 2019, in a radio interview, stated that a thirteenth series was happening and in June of that year, stated that it was expected to be wrapped up by the end of 2019. However, in October 2019, UKTV announced that a 90-minute feature-length special would be produced instead, to be filmed from December 2019 to January 2020 with location filming scheduled for November. Three 60-minute documentaries were also announced to accompany it, intended to act as a retrospective of all previous 12 series.In January 2020, the first publicity photos of the special were released, with revealed as the first confirmed guest actor portraying Rodon, the 'leader of the feral cats'.

In February 2020, the day before the 32nd anniversary of, a synopsis was given by the official Red Dwarf website: 'The special will see the posse meet three cat clerics (, ) who worship Lister as their God. Lister vows to help them as they're being hunted by Rodon, the ruthless feral cat leader (Ray Fearon) who has vowed to wipe out all cats who worship anyone but him.' Al Roberts was also added to the cast in an undisclosed role and officially announced to be returning as Holly following his one-off.On 10 March 2020, in an exclusive with, a was released. A rough release date of sometime in April was given, and a day later on 11 March 2020, the official account for Dave revealed the title of the television film: Red Dwarf: The Promised Land. The episode ' paid homage to the 1979 filmRed Dwarf was founded on the standard sitcom focus of a disparate and frequently dysfunctional group of individuals living together in a restricted setting. With the main characters routinely displaying their cowardice, incompetence and laziness, while exchanging insulting and sarcastic dialogue, the series provided a humorous antidote to the fearless and morally upright space explorers typically found in science-fiction series, with its main characters acting bravely only when there was no other possible alternative. The increasing science-fiction elements of the series were treated seriously by creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor.

Satire, parody and drama were alternately woven into the episodes, referencing other television series, films and books. These have included references to the likes of (1968), (1986), (1987), (1977), (1942), (1953), (1952), (1955), (1942), (1969), (1984), (1813), Isaac Asimov's series (1939–1985) and the.The writers based the whole theme of some episodes on the plots of feature films. The series III episode 'Polymorph' references and parodies key moments from (1979); from series IV, ' echoes key scenes from Casablanca (1942), while ' borrows the main plot from (1973). For series IX, ' was partially inspired by (1982).

The series' themes are not limited to films or television, having also incorporated historical events and figures. Religion also plays a part in the series, as a significant factor in the ultimate fate of the Cat race, and the perception of Lister as their 'God', both within the episode ' (whose title makes a literary reference to the play ), as well as the crew meeting a man they believe to be Christ in series X episode '. The series VII episode titled ' derives its name and theme from the ancient mythological snake by the. The third episode of series VI ' was based on the.The series explores many science-fiction staples such as time-travel paradoxes (including the ), the question of and (on several episodes), the pursuit of happiness in virtual reality and, crucially to the show's premise of Lister being the last human, the near-certainty of the human species' some time in the far future.do not feature in the series, as Grant and Naylor decided very early in the process that they did not want aliens involved. This is usually addressed with Rimmer's belief in extraterrestrial life being shot down, such as a vessel he believes to be an alien ship turning out to be a garbage pod. However, there are non-human life forms such as evolutions of Earth species (e.g.

The Cat race), robotic or holo-life forms created by humans, and a kind of 'Genetically Engineered Life Form' , an artificially created creature. Simulants and GELFs frequently serve as antagonists among the later series of the show. Hallmarks. Main article:The series developed its own distinct vocabulary. Words and phrases such as , dollarpound, space, and Football appear throughout the series, highlighting a development in language, political climate, technology, evolution and culture in the future.

The creators also employed a vocabulary of fictional in order to avoid using potentially offensive words in the show, and to give nuance to futuristic colloquial language; in particular, ' (and variants such as 'smegging', 'smegger', and 'smeg-head') features prominently, alongside the terms 'gimboid' and 'goit'. Episodes.

The German edition of Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers, entitled Roter ZwergWorking together under the name 'Grant Naylor', the creators of the series collaboratively wrote two novels. The first, was published in November 1989, and incorporates plot lines from several episodes of the show's first two series.

The second novel, followed in October 1990, and is largely based on the second-series episode of the same name. Together, the two novels provide expanded backstory and development of the series' principal characters and themes.The authors began work on a sequel to Better than Life, called The Last Human, but Rob Grant was drawn away from Red Dwarf by an interest in other projects. Still owing two more Red Dwarf novels, Grant and Naylor decided to each write an alternative sequel to Better than Life. Two completely different sequels were made as a result, each presenting a possible version of the story's continuation., by Doug Naylor, adds Kochanski to the crew and places more emphasis on the science-fiction and plot elements, while Rob Grant's novel, is more in keeping with the previous two novels, and borrows more extensively from established television stories.An of the first two novels was released in 1992, including edits to the original text and extra material such as the original pilot script of the TV series. All four novels have been released in format, the first two read by Chris Barrie, Last Human read by Craig Charles, and Backwards read by author Rob Grant.In December 2009, Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers was released in Germany with the title Roter Zwerg ('Red Dwarf' in German).

Rimmer with a appearanceThe Red Dwarf Magazine—the magazine part of the title changed to 'Smegazine' from issue 3—was launched in 1992. It comprised a mix of news, reviews, interviews, comic strips and competitions. The comic strips featured episode adaptations and original material, including further stories of popular characters like Mr. Flibble, the Polymorph and Ace Rimmer.Notably, the comic strip stories' holographic characters, predominately Rimmer, were drawn in. This was at the request of Grant and Naylor, who had wanted to use the technique for the television series, but the process was deemed too expensive to produce. Despite achieving circulation figures of over 40,000 per month, the magazine's publisher decided to close the title down to concentrate on their other publications.

A farewell issue was published, cover dated January 1994, and featured the remaining interviews, features and comic strips that were to feature in the following issues.The Official Red Dwarf Fan Club produces a periodical magazine for members titled Back to Reality. The previous volume of this magazine, dating back to the 1990s, was known as Better Than Life. Press Office.

There are also rare resources to be found deeper in the earth that grant access to better buildings and equipment.

However, the deeper you dig the more dangerous foes you might unleash Features:Explore – The randomly generated maps offer replayability while also providing a sense of explorationBuild – customize your settlement with not only practical constructions, but beautiful ones too! Build objects you think look great, while still gaining progress. Home is where the art is.Command – With an intuitive order system the player can easily control oodles of dwarves simultaneously without the need for extensive micro management.

I have Game of Dwarves on my Tracking List and check it out now and then. If you don't want to use Steam then fine I suppose, but I'm stunned that we still have the anti-Steam crowd after all these years, and you're missing out in a big way for questionable reasons. I've been using it for 7 years now and find it extremely convenient. The hassle of having to keep checking for updates and patches and then manually patch games is gone. The hassle of having to log onto websites, download packages and manually install is gone. I still do these things for some small time Indie Devs mind, but Greenlight is even helping those folksI'm in full time employment, up to 12 hours a day, I don't have the time to mess about. Apparently I have 468 Steam games now, there's no way on this earth I would want to keep manual track of that lot, and the files have to be hosted somewhere online.

If a company goes under (and they often do if you've been into gaming like I have for the last 20 years) then I'd have to backup the game to 2 seperate locations, in the event one of the storage medias corruptedSteam makes so much money that I can't imagine it going anywhere anytime soon, digital media is the future and so far of all the varieties out there, Steam is to me the best out there, and far exceeds Desura and Origin+1 vote. Steam actually offers several games that can be run without it - you can extract the folder and such and run it directly from the.exe. Most of these are older games, like the original Deus ex or free to play like Vindictus. Steam is a manner of DRM, but far more passive than most. Unfortunately, A Game of Dwarves is not among this, which was likely a design choice from the start, and should have been disclosed when the game's page was created.

Especially considering the game had a steam page quite some time before it appeared on Desura, it boggles me how they neglected to mention it.+4 votes. I'm old fashioned in that I prefer a downloadable copy of a game I purchase and not a streamable download like Steam uses.I like having a zip, or installer file that installs a game without needing to connect online to do so. I have my own file server where I keep all the games and apps I ever purchased in order and have quick access to them.The other BIG issue for me is that I REALLY do NOT like having to install software such as the Steam client on my PCs. I wasn't even a user of Desura until someone told me that the games have direct downloads like GOG.com. So far every game I purchased on Desura had a self downloading installer or zip file.

I've not had to install the Desura client and wouldn't if that was it's only way to enjoy these games.+2 votes. I think we can all agree, the use of any kind of DRM should be announced as soon as the decision to use it is made, even DRM as benign as Steam.But I think we should also endeavor to 'know the enemy' here. Steam has been operating for some time, 2003 to be specific. It was originally intended as an automatic update platform for Valve's limited library of games, but during development was relabeled as a more general distribution platform. Either way, for the time, these ideas were nothing new, patch and content distribution clients had been in use for multiplayer games for a while, just not on the scale Steam is today.Valve has, to date, been an opponent to invasive 'must be online to play, even singleplayer' DRM, stating their finding that piracy is lower when products are conveniently available to people through a relatively low impact and potentially ubiquitous service. To this end, steam has an offline mode.

If your account credentials are saved on your computer, your steam library is accessible offline as long as the game developers themselves didn't include such a requirement. And if the problem is automatic updates, you can disable those without going in offline mode. There's clearly a downside that you must have steam installed, logged in sometime in the past, and installed the game, but that's hardly an issue when you plan ahead.I'd also like to point out that if steam is ever shut down indeffinitely, they've made it publicly known that they will disable all of the DRM in every game in the library prior to said shut down.And I'll say this, I knew someone morally opposed to Steam, but now they use it, because darnit, it's just too damn convenient having an instant messaging system, auto-updater, and game store all in one little program.

Besides, we're not talking about EA's Origin here, oh wait, he uses that too. Also, he refuses to shop at gamestop because they have a 'local monopoly'.Yay, ideology!+4 votes.
