00:00For decades now, we've immersed ourselves in the Red Dwarf universe, and at its centre
00:17is the most memorable cast of comedy characters ever assembled.
00:22It's four complete oiks in space. One human being, it's a hologram, a cat and an android.
00:29It's the very classic sitcom set-up, where you have different personalities who can't
00:33escape from each other.
00:34The crew got wiped out, you survived. That's charmed.
00:36I survived to live the rest of my life with you, not charmed.
00:41There is a great one-line premise at the heart of all of this, which is, what if the last
00:48human being left alive is a complete waste of space?
00:54And that last man standing is unwashed space bum and curry connoisseur, Dave Lister.
01:00There's been a fire in here. It's a small one. Put it out with my beer.
01:04For goodness sake, Lister, that's terrible. Don't panic, I've got another one.
01:09It's just a lazy layabout. He's got an ambition, lives in the moment.
01:15He is a slob who is obsessed with curry and lager.
01:22Class.
01:26You know, he's never quite been house-trained, let's put it like that.
01:29He's Rimmer's arch-nemesis. They always screw each other over whenever they get a chance.
01:35Drop dead, Rimmer. Already have done.
01:38Encore.
01:39He's loathed by Lister, but loved by us. It's everyone's favourite smeg-head, Arnold J.
01:46Rimmer.
01:47Now hear this, because it's only coming once. We surrender totally and without condition.
01:52Thank you very much.
01:53He is probably king of the losers. He is the petrol for much of the comedy.
01:59Rimmer is slightly troubled. He thinks everything is the fault of the world, but he's not higher
02:06up in the scale of things than where he is.
02:08Rimmer really wants to be supreme commander of the universe. He ain't ever going to get there.
02:16If this funky feline was cream, he'd never stop licking himself. He's the cat.
02:21Ah, the sex on my nipples are tingling. Ow!
02:24I've given pleasure to the world because I have such a beautiful ass.
02:29This strange hybrid of human and cat, who has the dress sense of Prince.
02:34It's just a character who's self-obsessed megalomaniac.
02:38I'm not here to help. Read my CV. Does not help. Does not clean.
02:44Will have sex with anything.
02:48His warranty ran out yonks ago, but if you need a toilet unblocking, just call for Crichton.
02:54If you took a butler and a French maid and Mr. Spock and let them engage in an orgy,
03:02they would out Crichton.
03:04He's full of admiration for the human race.
03:07Morning, sir.
03:08And he wants to emulate them, and it's very hard for him because he's programmed to be
03:12just a service droid.
