Arnold Rimmer undergoes a medical examination and learns he has a stress-related condition that could give him an electronic aneurysm, resulting in his death. Kryten prescribes several stress relief measures too prevent this, including Chinese worry balls. Shortly after this, the pair join Dave Lister and Cat in investigating the simulant ship they defeated a few weeks earlier for supplies. While aboard, the group finds that one crew survived their encounter and confronts them. Rimmer opts to flee in an escape pod, inadvertently triggering the collapse of the ship. Kryten, Lister and Cat use the matter transporter they had been using to load supplies onto "Starbug" as an alternative exit. However, their return to the ship is stalled by Kryten making a programming error on the device and sending them back into their past a week ago, meeting their past selves. Once they have returned, the group finds Rimmer's pod, which Kryten discovers was looted and had terraforming equipment, is being drawn into a wormhole with time dilation effects, meaning that it will take six centuries from Rimmer's perspective for them to recover him but only a few hours from the crew's. Rimmer opts to wait upon the closest S3 planet beyond the wormhole that the pod lands on, and uses the equipment to create a paradise from himself for the time being. When the rest of the crew finally reach him, they find themselves confronted by a race of power-hungry Rimmer-clones, who throw them into a dungeon with the real Rimmer. Through him, the group learns that he attempted to create a female companion but created clones of himself instead, who eventually overthrew him, much to his despair. With his hard light drive preventing him from being executed, Rimmer was imprisoned for over five centuries. Rimmer further explains that the others will be executed for having un-Rimmer like traits, which the clones consider a crime, which Kryten points out will cause the clones to not evolve and die out. Although Lister forms a complex plan to escape, Kryten simply suggests they use the transporter to return to Starbug, though he causes another programming error that takes the crew out of the present. Believing that they have again travelled into the past, Lister and Cat tease "past" Rimmer about his future six-hundred-year ordeal. However, informing the crew that they have in fact travelled weeks into the future, future Rimmer implies that something terrible will happen to Lister, leaving him worried for his future before they leave.
In this 50th episode spectacular join your host Garhdo and his guest hosts Tallulah and Zulu for a roundtable discussion looking back at sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, produced by the BBC and celebrating its 35th Anniversary this year. Together they will give their thoughts on this seminal show, the colourful cast of characters within - including the last human being Dave Lister, the stylishly cool Cat, the prissy mechanoid Kryten, and the insufferable smeghead Arnold Rimmer - as well as the fantastic episodes that make this show so good. From the clever sci-fi of Future Echoes, the excellent Camille, the hilarious Quarantine, the subversive Back to Reality, to the bittersweet Stoke Me A Clipper. Let Garhdo and his partners introduce you thoroughly to the "Boys from the Dwarf". --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garhdogoesgeek/support
Adam is joined by Rich, Pat & Mark this week, and (briefly) Craig. We discuss what we've changed our minds about since Week 2, which is plenty.
[School of Everything Else 2020] The long-running British sci-fi comedy series gets its first podcast with us. We picked the season that's easiest to get into and most immediately funny. If a lot of people like this one and especially if newcomers get into Red Dwarf (currently available on Netflix UK and Britbox) then we will record more shows. A ragtag crew of losers on their way back to Earth cross paths with all manner of androids, genetic mutants and time travel phenomena. Aboard we have Dave Lister, maybe the last human slob alive, Arnold Rimmer, the holographic projection of his pedantic boss, a fussy mechanoid named Kryten and a preening evolved feline known only as The Cat. They are semi-guided by the super-genius A.I. Holly who may have gone a bit strange over three million years. It is delightful how this show has held up over the decades, and if you're unfamiliar you're in for a treat.

There’s some singing in the episode, and it’s not pretty. You have been warned. Otherwise we spend our time talking about the opposites of bubbles, of Bubbles, of Arnold Rimmer, and of Hump Day. Are we right? Or are we the opposite of right? Let us know, join in the fun, and make suggestions for future episodes. We need you to make the show better.
Dave Lister, Arnold Rimmer, Kocour a Holly. Zdají se vám tato jména povědomá? Samozřejmě nejde o nikoho jiného, než o hlavní představitele legendárního komediálního sci-fi seriálu Červený trpaslík. Vůbec poprvé si jej diváci BBC mohou vychutnat 15. února 1988. Myšlenka úspěšného seriálu se zrodila v hlavách britských rozhlasových scénáristů Dougha Naylora a Roba Granta a to už v roce 1983. Do vysílání se Červený trpaslík dostal ale až o pět let později. Vše se protáhlo kvůli tomu, že se tvůrci stavili proti reklamám. Nechtěli, aby komerční pauzy divákům kazily podívanou. Jediné východisko tak představovala veřejnoprávní televize BBC. Naléhání se vyplácí. Červený trpaslík dostal zelenou a objevuje se na kanálu BBC 2.
This week the Jay and Tony caught up with Harrison Rimmer during his recent UK tour. They chat about old influences, a brief rap career, getting down with Choir, playing it all yourself vs getting a band and taking it on tour. Check out Harrison's latest EP 'C' right now. https://harrisonrimmer1.bandcamp.com Just imagine if Han Solo and Arnold Rimmer had a child? How weird would that be? I'm just throwing that out there.
Three million years ago, a radiation leak killed the crew of the mining ship, Red Dwarf. The only survivor was Dave Lister, the chicken soup machine repairman. He spends his time on the ship with a holographic projection of Arnold Rimmer (his dead bunkmate), Cat (a life-form that evolved from Dave's cat), Holly (the ship's senile computer), and Kryten (a service mechanoid). - Written by Garrett Hobbs
