HawkMan

50/51. Pete ( parts 1+2) 1. After playing a practical joke on Warden Ackerman, Lister and Rimmer along with Kochanski, Kryten and the Cat are forced to take on the guards led by Warden Ackerman in a game of basketball. When they spike the guards' juice with a drug which gives them erections for 7 hours, Lister's and Rimmer's punishment is to peel all the potatoes for 2 weeks. Kryten, Kochanski and Cat investigate a derelict spacecraft, where they discover "The time Wand" a time device. 2. Lister and Rimmer are in a special part of The Tank, punishment for using a bacteria to help them peel spuds. The bacteria eats the potato skins rapidly, unfortunately it is quick spreading and ended up eating their clothes, and when appearing before Captain Hoillister naked the bacteria jumped onto Hollister and attacked him, leaving him bald. Meanwhile the time wand the others discovered on a ship has been brought on board and accidentally freezes the crew. This wand can speed up time and and is proposed by the Dwarfers that it can speed up their 2 year prison sentence. The wand sends out a time reversal field and a pet bird belonging to The Birdman, a prisoner in the Tank, is engulfed in this time field and turns into a dinosaur. So a T Rex is loose on board, not exactly something that'll help getting their sentence reduced. 52. Only The Good. A escape pod containing a "Microbe", a genetically-engineered virus that eats metal and programmed not to harm glass, has arrived on-board "Red Dwarf" and begins to eat away at the ship. Left aboard to die, Rimmer, Lister, Cat, Kryten, Kochanski and Holly believe their only chance at finding an antidote is in a mirror universe where everything is opposite. Rimmer is sent in, hoping for success before Red Dwarf is destroyed by the Microbe. Rimmer gets the antidote, but on returning to Red Dwarf everyone is gone , escaped into the mirror universe, leaving Rimmer on a disintegrating ship, alone, about to die. He receives a visit from a cowled figure carrying a scythe, Death is here to collect him.....until Rimmer knees him in the bollux. How did this situation resolve itself. To this day we don't know. From series 9 onwards the hologram Rimmer is back, is it the original Rimmer back from being Ace, or the series 8 human Rimmer now a hologram ? It is an in- joke , a tease by writer Doug Naylor that we don't know how the situation is resolved.

48. Cassandra. Lister, Kochanski, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat begin their two year sentences in The Tank, the ship's jail. Lister volunteers the group for The Canaries without realising they're a squad of prisoners who lead any ground force into dangerous situations. On a crashed ship with no survivors they meet Cassandra a computer that can predict the future. She predicts Rimmer's death. But Rimmer surmises that Cassandra can only know who is Rimmer by the name on their Canary jackets. So if he can swap jackets he should be okay. If only it was that simple. 49. Krytie TV. Kryten lets slip that as he is now classified as a woman he has to endure the boredom of girls shower night. Watching the girls sud themselves in the showers. A group of unscrupulous crew members kidnap him, alter his program and turn him into a sort of television boss. In the cinema of the ship it's, " Shower Night Special- a pay per view event." Kryten in the girls showers will stare at the floor, until the cinema goers fill up collection buckets. Then he'll stare at the showering girls , his optics relaying the image to the cinema. Krytie TV grows and in a you've been framed type show Lister and Rimmer are conned into vandalising a senior officer's room 5 minutes before he returns with a date.

Series 8. 45./46/47.- Back In The Red (parts 1,2,+3) 1.The nanobots have rebuilt Red Dwarf and Lister, Kochansi, Kryten and Cat find that the nanobots have not only rebuilt the ship, the nanobots have resurrected the crew and they find themselves in big trouble, as they find themselves standing trial for a series of crimes. Among the revived crew is Rimmer, alive , a different Arnie, with no knowledge of the adventures of the Dwarfers. All the crew and officers alive again and wondering where they are. Lister tries to persuade Rimmer to allow him to escape and to track down the nanobots, the only way for Lister to convince Rimmer is by helping Rimmer gain promotion by sharing the confidential info on the Red Dwarf officers he acquired during these last years. 2. Rimmer begins his scheme to get promoted, and he begins to impress Captain Hoillister , Kryten is reprogrammed and has his factory settings restored. And Lister , Kochanski and Cat set out to escape and search for the Nano Bots. 3. We discover the Dwarfers are in a hallucinogenic unreal situation. They were all unknowingly given drugs to believe they are awake and attempting to escape, including Rimmer, he was given a drug too when Captain Hollister became suspicious of his new found personal knowledge that he was using to get up the ladder of promotion. By observing how the Dwarfers react thinking the situation is real, Hollister concludes that the guys were being truthful about everyone's reincarnation by nanobots, but nevertheless they are sentenced to two years in the ship's brig for misuse of confidential information. Kryten mentally clings on to all he has learnt from being a crew member of Red Dwarf and rejects the attempt to restore factory settings. He too is in the brig, and reclassified as a woman.

43. Epideme. A corpse frozen in a block of ice is discovered on a crashed ship. Inside is the body of a long long dead Red Dwarf officer Carolyn Carmen. Taken aboard Starbug, the ice begins to thaw suspiciously quickly, the corpse is alive. It gets into bed with Lister and kisses him, then dies. The corpse was contaminated by the Epideme virus, an intelligent deadly virus that kills its host quickly, then freezes the body until it can hunt for the next victim. Lister doesn't have long to live. 44. Nanarchy. Lister has a false arm made by Kryten, operated by mental powers by the wearer, but it's a struggle to use. Kochanski wonders why the nanobots inside Kryten can't make Lister a new arm from exsisting tissue. Kryten's nanobots, tiny microscopic robots that repair Kryten's systems. But they apparently left Kryten's body a long time ago, about the same time as Red Dwarf mother ship disappeared. Detection device discovers them, they are inside Starbug in a MINIATURISED Red Dwarf. They stole Red Dwarf, miniaturised it, and have been flying around in Starbug, from their perspective, a macro sized universe, that's why the Dwarfers could never catch up with it. A sandstorm swept planetoid is located, and the reading says it's comprised of Red Dwarf matter, the original ship the rest of it the nanobots didn't need, reduced to constituent atoms, sand, on this planet. To show penitence and hoping for forgiveness the nanobots agree to recreate the ship, and give Dave a new arm by being injected into his body to create new arm tissue. For series 8 we have Red Dwarf back, better than ever.

41. Blue. Rimmer is back he enters Lister's room, Dave has missed him, they snog, lovingly, then Lister WAKES UP......just a dream. Lister is feeling a bit down, he misses Rimmer. Kochanski shares some of her wisdom, a bit of psychotherapy, and Lister feels a bit better. This enrages the increasingly jealous Kryten, who counters with psychotherapy of his own. Rimmer kept diaries of every adventure on Red Dwarf, but his written entries twist everything to make it appear that he always saved the day. Kryten creates a virtual reality experience using holograms to recreate a number of previous encounters the crew experienced as Rimmer said they happened. 42. Beyond A Joke. Kochanski wanting to educate her crew members takes them to Jane Austen World, a virtual reality hologram experience. This annoys Kryten who has spent hours preparing a lobster gourmet meal. Kryten borrows a WW2 tank from another virtual reality game and appears in Austen World, fires , blows everything up, thus forcing everyone to the dinner table. Lister mistakenly asks for ketchup, this blows Kryten's mind, literally his head explodes. The crew have to find someone to repair him. Meanwhile a rogue Simulant alone on a ship raids Starbug and kidnaps the remains of Kryten, and gets his mechanoid, Able, to repair him. It seems Kryten and Able are brothers, same model, but Able is a junkie, abusing his mechanical body with Otrazone a toxic substance.

39. Ouroboros. Starbug comes to a tear in the fabric of space, a rip, where two dimensions meet. On the other side of rip is another Starbug and crew, Kryten, Cat, a hologram of Lister, OF LISTER?! Yes he died in this reality, so who went into stasis? Christine Kochanski that's who, Lister's girl. She briefly crosses into our Starbug to ask Dave to donate sperm, she obviously can't have a kid with her hologram Lister. But an attack by GELFS, genetically engineerd life forms, means the rip between dimensions closes. Kochanski is here to stay, replacing Rimmer as the Dwarfers 4th member. If this wasn't enough, there's a startling revelation that the sperm in the invitro tube becomes Lister! 40. Duct Soup. Kochanski is struggling to settle in this reality. Being bunked near creaking rattling pipes in her quarters doesn't help. Lister offers to swap rooms with her and Kryten realises Kochanski is special to Dave, and he is jealous. Kryten accidentally while doing the laundry overpowers the electrics and the ship powers down. With the doors sealed everyone has to crawl miles through the air ducts to reach the engine room. We discover Lister is claustrophobic, which Kryten didn't realise, if he did he wouldn't have DELIBERATELY blown the power !!

Series 7. 37. Tikka To Ride. After defeating their future selves , you'll have to watch to find out how, the Starbug vessel that our heroes are confined to until they locate Red Dwarf , has undergone changes as the timelines adjusted themselves. Disaster! All the Indian curry provisions have been destroyed. Lister can't function without vindaloo. They still have the time drive, Lister suggests they go back to Earth and buy years and years supply of curry. By chance they end up in Dallas 1963, overlooking the parade where JFK will attend. Unfortunately their arrival in a book repository has forced JFK's assassin to miss. Unfortunately because, JFK a womaniser and possibly under Mafia influence doesn't die and therefore history is altered. Our heroes time jump forward and discover America has been compromised as a result of JFK's continuing Presidency. Russia has a missile base in Cuba. The only way to rectify this is to assassinate JFK in 1963 as was meant. 38. Stoke Me A Clipper. Super hero Ace Rimmer is back, the dimension jumping all round handsome, brave, fearless.....what a guy!! Ace comes on board Starbug, but is injured, dying, yes a hologram can die, his " light bee" that buzzes inside him projecting his image is damaged. But this ISN'T the Ace Rimmer they met before. As each Ace dies he dimension jumps to the next reality to pass the baton so to speak to the next Rimmer. Each Arnold Rimmer turns into the next Ace. And now it's our Rimmer's turn. Lister can't help but laugh, Rimmer a hero!!, no chance. Ace trains our Arnie to be the new Ace, then Ace expires. In a moving scene Lister reassures Rimmer he can do it, Rimmer accepts and leaves the crew. He's gone! Out into the black yonder to be the next Ace Rimmer. As he leaves he says the traditional Ace farewell, " smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast " Our Rimmer gets it a bit wrong, see bottom photo for what he says.

35. Rimmerworld. The team are on an abandoned ship, belonging to Simulants, killer androids. They're there to help themselves to any valuable gear they can get. However an injured Simulant is on board who is going to kill them all. Rimmer in act of bravery, and not because he was trying to escape, jumps in an escape capsule and ..er escapes. But this act , as the capsule blasts off, sends ripples through the infrastructure of the damaged ship, in the confusion our heroes escape. Well done Rimmer, a hero at last. Unfortunately the capsule he's in goes through a wormhole before he can be pulled off. Rimmer ends up on a world alone, and the Starbug crew arrive 500 years later in Rimmer's timeframe, almost immediately from Lister , Cat and Kryten's timeframe. What has Rimmer been up to for 500 years. Why does everyone on this planet look like Rimmer? It's too horrible to contemplate. 36. Out Of Time. Still no sign of the lost Red Dwarf ship, so the Starbug crew need cheering up, so Rimmer has an idea for their personal betterment. Thankfully before that can happen they make an amazing discovery, on an abandoned ship , they get a time machine. They plug it into Starbug's engines and they can time travel. Unfortunately not space travel any quicker so they're still out in deep space 3 million years from Earth. Then they recieve a signal from.....Starbug...from the future, It's them!! Future Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat have travelled back in time to meet them to get a component to repair their time drive. But they've changed, not for the better. Kryten wears a wig, and all of them traverse time tasting the best life has to offer, throughout history. They love socialising, the Hitlers being there favourite hosts. What the hell has happened to our heroes, integrity gone, good taste gone, they've become freeloading parasites. A showdown is inevitable, current against future Red Dwarfers, who'll win ?

33. Gunmen Of The Apocalypse. Simulants are killer androids who despise humans, they attack Starbug, but our heroes win. Before the Simulants ship is destroyed they transmit an electronic virus to Starbug's engines. To combat this Kryten must plug himself into the ship and combat the virus. His battle is translated in his mind as a battle for power in a Wild West town, Lister and Co enter this dream Wild West town to help out. 34. Emohawk- Polymorph 2 Second encounter with the shape shifting polymorph creature. The crew need to trade with a tribe to get an engine part, unfortunately the price is Lister's hand in marriage to the chief's daughter, who is not exactly a looker.

After 200 years following the Red Dwarf vapour trail Lister and the Cat are revived from cryogenic hibernation, Rimmer reactivated, and the search continues. On an asteroid they encounter hallucination inducing mind sucking insectoid life. 32. Legion. The crew in pursuit of Red Dwarf meet Legion, an entity that needs other minds to become active from its dormant state. Legion was created by 4 scientists and shared their minds and personalities. Now its mind is made up of thoughts and emotions of Lister and Co. A bit of a comedown.

29. Demons And Angels. The matter transmitter previously seen is adapted by Kryten to transmit and replicate matter, hopefully to boost their food supply. However a slight miscalculation means Red Dwarf blows up and is destroyed. But two new Red Dwarfs are created, along with duplicate crews. On one ship is angelic versions of Lister, Rimmer, The Cat and Kryten, the other demonic evil counterparts. They must be faced in order to get the original ship back. 30. Back To Reality. Red Dwarf isn't real of course, the characters are fictional. So after being killed by a giant squid, our 4 heroes awake to discover it was all a virtual reality game called Red Dwarf. So who are they really? Fugitives in a fascist world and Lister and Rimmer are half brothers....or are they? The Cat is really a goofy toothed loser who lives in a Salvation Army hostel. They aren't who they thought they were.

27. Terrorform. Rimmer is stranded on a planet that has terraformed to bring all the emotions and qualities inside Rimmer's head to life. Lister and the others have to rescue him and face Rimmer's self loathing personified as a slobbering beast. 28. Quarantine. A hologram of a scientist is in suspension in an abandoned scientific research centre, the Red Dwarf team inadvertently release the hologram, Professor Langstrom who has a hologram virus turning her into a maniac. Before she dies the virus is transmitted to Rimmer, who is unaware of this, and he takes over Red Dwarf and puts the others in quarantine to protect himself. But it's too late, he has the virus, and a homicidal Rimmer is not a pretty sight.

Series 5. 25. Holoship. A hologram ship , made out of pure light, staffed by holograms all with incredible IQs arrives, Rimmer desperately wants to join. He dangerously uses a mental enhancing technique to boost his IQ to pass the entrance test.

Bad news, The Inquisitor, the insane time travelling android who's mission is to judge everyone in the universe, and delete those who led worthless lives, meets the Red Dwarf team.

22. White Hole. Holly the senile computer wants to regain her IQ of 6000, so with Kryten's help goes through a process of reducing her remaining run time to increase her cleverness. Unfortunately the plan backfires when in return for being a genius again her run time is now just 3 minutes, so she switches herself off. Not good news as the ship approaches a White Hole, the opposite of a black hole but still as deadly. 23. Dimension Jump.

Ace has dimension jumped into our dimension and meets our Rimmer , and what a disappointment Ace finds him. After crashing on an ocean planet, the Red Dwarf crew rescued by Ace really want Ace to stay. But no, Ace is on a mission to dimension jump to explore different realities, somewhere he might find a Rimmer who is more of a pain in the butt than our Rimmer.....but it's doubtful. 24. Meltdown. Kryten finds a matter transmitter in one of Red Dwarfs science labs, something that was being developed when the ship suffered the disaster that wiped everyone out..except Lister of course. The matter "paddle" transports the team to a world inhabited by waxdroids, wax robots of famous people, abandoned here in Waxworld Theme Park.

Series 4. 19. Camille. The Red Dwarf crew rescue Camille , a female survivor of a crashed ship. Strangely Lister sees her as Liverpudlian, Rimmer think she's a hologram, Kryten says she's a mechanoid, the same model as himself. Truth is she's something else altogether. This episode has plenty of references to the film Casablanca. 20. DNA On an abandoned ship the team find a three headed corpse and a machine that can change DNA. Kryten becomes human, and struggles with what it is to be organic life rather than mechanical. Love is an emotion he does not understand, he has erotic thoughts about vacuum cleaners. Kryten wants to be a mechanoid again, but the DNA changing machine isn't reliable, so to test it they try to change Lister's chicken curry to a lamb one, and inadvertently create the mutton vindaloo beast. 21. Justice. The crew come upon a pod in space, it comes from a prison planet and either contains a warder or a dangerous criminal. They take it justice world where it can be safely opened, but on arrival a mind scan reveals Rimmer's guilt in causing the accident that killed all on Red Dwarf 3 million years ago, and is sentenced to imprisonment for hundreds of years given his hologramatic status. Kryten has to act as defence attorney to save him.

17. Timeslides. Mutated photographic developing fluid means the crew's photo slides have become portals to the past. You can walk into the past so long as you have a photo of the scene. Lister goes to visit himself aged 17 and persuades him to go to the patent office and patent an invention as his before the established inventor ever got round to inventing it. This is of course immoral but the 17 year old Lister does this. The invention is the Tension Sheet, plastic packing paper painted red, a calming therapy for anxiety, you pop the plastic sheet to calm down. Lister changes history and becomes a millionaire, subsequently he never joined Red Dwarf, the Cat race was never born, and Rimmer is left on Red Dwarf for eternity alone. It is Rimmer's duty as a complete and utter b astard to reverse this. 18. The Last Day. Kryten gets a message from Devadroid International the company that made him. His warranty is running out and in the morning he will be terminated and replaced by the latest model mechanoid on its way now. But after chasing Red Dwarf for centuries the new mechanoid Hudzen is insane and wants everyone on board terminated.

15. Polymorph. A shape shifting creature boards Red Dwarf, it can change it absolutely anything, the crew discover when Lister's kebab leaps off the plate to attack him. The creature feeds by removing emotions from its victims. Lister loses his fear, Rimmer his anger, The Cat his cool and Kryten the mechanoid his loyalty. 16. Bodyswap. The personality of the dead second in command is recorded on a disc, that personality in an emergency has to be planted into Lister's body to cancel the self destruct mechanism destroying the ship, which was activated by accident. Rimmer seeing this is possible suggests he and Lister temporarily swap bodies, he goes into Lister's body and Lister temporarily becomes a hologram. In this way fitness fanatic Rimmer can get Lister fit and on a proper diet without Lister having to actually do the work. Lister agrees , but disaster as Rimmer now in a body again gets to like it and absconds with Lister's body in Starbug and threatens to shoot himself, killing both his mind and Lister's body if they come after him.

Series 3. 13. Backwards. Lister does give birth to twins, but the boys cannot physically exist in this universe so are returned to the opposite one. Holly falling in love with the computer in the other universe, Hilly, now changes persona to become a version of that Computer ie.Holly now has a female personality. Rimmer and Kryten go through a time hole thingy, Lister and The Cat search for them and follow to find themselves in a backwards reality. They're in London in the 1990's but time is running backwards. Rimmer loves this reality, good things happen like, Hitler dismantling the third Reich, liberating Poland and bogging off to Austria. Lister points out that here, Father Christmas climbs down chimneys and steals kids presents. And in this reality with time backwards if they stay he'll end up getting younger and end up as a sperm in someone's testicles. They have to leave!! 14. Marooned. Lister and Rimmer are marooned on a snow bound planet, with the only food dog food and a pot noodle, so obviously it's the dog food eaten first . Kryten and the Cat search for them as Lister and Rimmer in a desperate situation learn about each other more which isn't necessarily a good thing. In the crashed Starbug hopper vehicle that the two are in awaiting rescue, Lister realises Rimmer's priceless camphor wood trunk that contains his valuables would make good firewood.

11. Queeg. Holly the senile computer almost kills Dave Lister when he was repairing the hologram simulation suite by wrongly instructing him, and the crew curse his incompetence. The back up computer Queeg 500 comes on-line to take charge. Holly is relieved of duty, but Queeg is a workaholic maniac who makes life hell for the crew. Can they get Holly reinstalled. 12. Parallel Universe. The Holly Hop Drive instead of getting them home instantly as Holly promised, flips them into a parallel universe. There they meet another Red Dwarf and crew, but are opposite to them gender wise. A female Lister and Rimmer, and a Dog person instead of Cat. Lister and female Lister make out, but it's male Lister who gets pregnant as they're in this opposite universe. As Rimmer says, that's how Lister got those two babies on Red Dwarf without a woman on board.(s01e02). The crew return to our universe and is Lister really going to give birth? YES!

9. Thanks For The Memory. The crew wake up and have lost a few days memory and the Cat and Lister have plaster casts on broken feet. Why? The black box recorder reveals the truth, a party to celebrate Rimmer's death day went wrong . 10. Stasis Leak. Lister is reading Rimmer's diary written 3 million years ago before his death and is puzzled by an entry. Rimmer wrote that after recovering from eating magic mushrooms he saw a version of himself talking about coming from the future to rescue him from impending disaster. Could that have been hologram Rimmer going back in time ? Yes! A stasis leak on the ship enables the crew to go back to before the initial accident. Can they prevent it, or ar least can Lister persuade Chrissy Kochanski his girl to go into suspension to avoid death or will Rimmer get there first to get his earlier self to go into suspension instead?

Series 2. 7. Kryten First alien contact and it turns out to be the android version of Norman Bates. An android serving his crew on a crashed ship, but the crew are all dead, as Rimmer says, there's less meat on them than a chicken McNugget.

2. Future Echoes Lister is going into suspended animation again for the journey home, much to Rimmer's annoyance. Then before that can happen Rimmer sees Lister blown apart in an explosion in the drive room. It's a future echo , a vision of the future because of the ship's approach to light speed. Also seen is a photo of a future Lister holding two babies. How can he get kids without a woman on board? 3. Balance Of Power Christine Kochanski love interest of Lister is now dead of course, but Lister would like Holly to bring her back as a hologram. That means turning Rimmer off! No chance as Rimmer is his superior officer, even though they're 3 million years in the future , Rimmer is holding on to that. Lister decides to try and become an officer by becoming a qualified chef, thus becoming superior in rank to Rimmer.

That was 3 MILLION years ago, The radiation is gone and Lister was released, but now he is 3 million years from Earth and all alone. Well not quite alone, Holly has the capability to revive one crew member as a hologram, it chose Arnold Rimmer, Lister's bunk mate. Rimmer is one step up the rung of superiority than Lister, but is basically a d***head , officious, obnoxious, cowardly and full of himself. Holly reasoned the perfect person to keep Lister sane in the years ahead. But there's another person here too , Homo Feline, a walking talking smart dressed cocky self centred CAT. Lister's cat 3 million years ago was locked in the hold and survived the radiation, and bred, generation after generation after generations of cats, until we have the Cat creature here now. Lister wants to return to Earth no matter what state the human race is in now, even if the ants have taken over and the humans are in the humanbeingatarium. The journey begins.

25. THE PURSUED David is contacted by Anne Gibbs, an alien who is on the run from both her fellow aliens and humans. She is the undesired result of an attempt to mimic human behavior by creating emotion. It's been successful in part, as she now values her own life as well as those of humans, but in the process she frequently now loses control and becomes violent when even mildly angered, and has killed a woman in one of her outbursts. Still, she tells David she will come with him to Washington to tell officials everything she knows about the aliens' plans. But the aliens plan to kill her to stop her, and the husband of the woman she killed is also after her seeking revenge. FINAL EPISODE 26.
