Red Dwarf (BBC)

[Riklaa]

First broadcast in 1988, Red Dwarf is a half-hour science-fiction sit-com. It has so far run for 8 series, totalling 52 episodes. It stars Chris Barrie (Rimmer), Craig Charles (Lister), Danny John-Jules (Cat), Robert Llewellyn (Kryten), Chloë Annett (as Kochanski), Norman Lovett and Hattie Hayridge (both playing Holly). On the mining ship Red Dwarf, professional slob Dave Lister works as a technician with his immediate superior and bunkmate, the officious Arnold Rimmer. To say that Rimmer and Lister don't get on would be like saying that high doses of radiation aren't entirely good for you. Quite a coincidence, then, that a radiation leak picks this moment to wipe out Red Dwarf's crew. Having smuggled his pregnant pet cat onto the ship, Lister is imprisoned in stasis - suspended animation - and so has no idea that his crew-mates, including love interest Kristine Kochanski, are being blasted into sherbet. Lister is woken three million years later. Holly, the ship's computer, redirected the ship out of the solar system as soon as the accident happened, and then had to wait for the radiation to reach a safe background level. To keep Lister company Holly resurrects Rimmer as a hologram. He can't touch anything, but he's as irritating as ever. To everyone's surprise the team is soon joined by a humanoid animal evolved from Lister's pet cat. The shallow, self-involved creature is cleverly named 'Cat'. During a million year journey home, the crew encounter Kryten - a servile mechanoid who thinks the phrase Cleanliness is next to godliness understates the importance of cleanliness. In the following years Holly changes his gender from male to female (and back again), the crew misplace Red Dwarf and spend some time stranded on the small transport vehicle Starbug, Rimmer leaves to become an inter-dimensional space hero, a version of Kochanski appears from another dimension and, eventually, the entire crew of Red Dwarf are resurrected by nanobots. And if you think that sounds complicated, just be glad we didn't get started on all the time-travel stuff that goes on... Series 1

You are most welcome. This is my first attempt at uploading files so if I have got it wrong I apologise. I found the web site by accident and I am very pleased that I did. I like old radio programmes and have a personal library of about 150 gb. Even so there are lots of programmes I have found already that I don’t have or had not heard before.

What a great site, keep up the good work!

Rick and David, thank you for theses episodes. I loved watching this series when the local PBS station would air it. I will enjoy every minute of these.

Hello Steve

I also love the TV series and I also have the paperback version of these radio shows. If you like Monty Python I also have 6 of the records in mp3 format. That's about 400 mb in total.

David,

That would be incredible. I love Monty Python. They were the first comedy troup my Dad introduced me to. A lot of fond memories watching their movies and the Flying Circus.
