This was a failed attempt in 1992 to make an "Americanized" version of the hit British sci-fi comedy. Two pilots were filmed after the producers replaced the actors playing Rimmer and Cat, but the series was never picked up, even with the involvement of the original creators, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. The story was an amalgam of several episodes but pretty much followed the original British pilot episode The End, except that Kryten is aboard the Red Dwarf from the start and the Cat is now a woman.

The Official Red Dwarf Site (www.reddwarf.co.uk) has a complete article about the fate of Red Dwarf USA in their 'DownTime' section; and a documentary on the entire American experience is included on the Series V DVD.

The second and shorter attempt at a US pilot of Red Dwarf comes across as more of a promotional video than a pilot episode due to it's clips from the British version of the show. Features Terry Farrell as the Cat and script concept from Backwards, Terrorform and Parallel Universe.

"Dad" was intended to bridge the last episode of Series II and the first episode of Series III, expanding on the events happening in-between that were only otherwise briefly mentioned in the show, and detailed in a very fast, Star Wars-like opening scrawl at the beginning of the first episode of Series III.

Dave Lister emerges from 3 million years of suspended animation to find that he's the only surviving crew member of the Red Dwarf.

The members of the Red Dwarf crew get a glimpse of their respective futures when the ship goes into light speed, and time begins to dilate.

Fed up with Rimmer always pulling rank, Lister decides to take the chef's exam to become his superior -- which doesn't sit well with Rimmer.

When Holly, the ship's computer, reports a mysterious pod floating in space, Rimmer insists on capturing the capsule.

Plagued by a nasty case of space pneumonia, Lister begins to hallucinate.

Tired of sharing space with Lister, Rimmer begins a blissful new relationship with the ultimate roommate: a holographic replica of himself.

A distress signal draws the ship's crew to the site of a space shuttle crash.

Rimmer learns that his father has passed away but isn't sure which is sadder: his father's death or that he is now encumbered with an £8,500 tax bill.

When Lister awakens after a night of revelry, he's at a loss to explain how he and Cat broke their legs.

A wrinkle in time takes the crew 3 million years into the past, before the radiation leak killed everyone aboard except Lister.

With Holly on the fritz, the ship's backup computer, Queeg 500, steps in to command the Red Dwarf and its crew of misfits.

After testing Holly's latest invention, the crew ends up in a parallel universe where they encounter opposite versions of themselves.

Kryten, the 4,000 series sanitation mechanoid takes you on a journey into a dimension of fluffs, bloopers, hitches and smeg ups that lead to one inevitable response: "cut"!

The hilarious sequel to Smeg Ups.

In Space No-One Can Hear You Scream "Cut"!

Join Kryten and Lister as they take you on a journey into a plane of reality no humanoid has previously been allowed to see, a dimension of cosmic cock-ups and ballistic blunders where no-one can remember their lines and nothing goes right - ever.

The crew goes back in time to get food but inadvertently lands in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, the day President Kennedy was assassinated.

Ace Rimmer -- Rimmer's charming alter ego from another reality -- revisits the crew to ask Rimmer an important favor.

The Red Dwarfers pick up a new crew member -- Lister's old flame, Kristine Kochanski -- when they encounter a wormhole.

Fearing he'll someday be replaced by Kristine Kochanski, a jealous Kryten "accidentally" shuts down the Starbug's engine.

Lister is conflicted when he discovers that he actually misses Rimmer, who's been away protecting the universe for far too long.

The crew reluctantly explores the works of Jane Austen when Kristine Kochanski takes them on a virtual reality tour of Pride and Prejudice World.

After being seduced by a 3-million-year-old corpse, Lister discovers he's contracted a deadly STD.

After losing his arm in a battle with the Epideme virus, Lister enlists the help of nanobots to reconstruct his mangled body.

The crew of Starbug are transported to the Can't Cook, Won't Cook studio to see who can cook a better vindaloo. It's Lister and Kryten vs Rimmer and the Cat. Well it should have been the Cat, but he was worried he would mess up his suit (really he just didn't want to work with Rimmer), so Duane Dibbley took his place.

This left Kochanski as the taster (God help her). It's not her fault, she lost the "ippy-dippy"!

The show was total, hillarious chaos. Ainsley Harriott (now known as AH – which has a completley different meaning) was run all over the place. He was totaly pissed off.

The crew of Blue Midget pick up a transmission from 1998's Children in Need, with Terry Wogan encouraging people to make donations. After some talk over what to do, Rimmer decides he will help humanity by breaking Lister's guitar!

A tribute to the late Mel Bibby and his contributions to Red Dwarf as production designer.

This is a touching and well-deserved tribute to the man who managed to completely revolutionise the look of the show, despite not having a great deal more money than his predecessor.

After six or seven minutes of lovely tributes from interviewees, we get a real gem. According to the caption, it's the only known footage of Mel talking about his work on the series. It's hard to tell where it came from, or when it was recorded, but he talks about the moody, industrial sets contrasting with the cleaner, more conventional sci-fi sets.

Hattie Hayridge records her experiences at the tenth annual Red Dwarf convention, Dimension Jump.

This features some great footage of Robert, Chloe and Danny messing about, as well as some good links performed by Hattie. There's also some fancy dress stuff, and footage of Chairman Jane's excellent tattoo.

Comedy Connections focusing on Red Dwarf

A documentary about the seventh series. The contributors are refreshingly frank and fair about the various problems the production faced. They treat subjects like Rob's departure, Chris's departure, the introduction of Kochanski, the various visual effects crises, the guest writers and the lack of audience with honesty and clarity, and all sides of the story are represented.

The "lost" episode of "Red Dwarf" (1988), presented in storyboard form. The Cat is dying, and is forced to have sex in order to stay alive.

This script was originally written as an episode of the seventh series of "Red Dwarf" (1988), but was dropped because the budget wouldn't stretch to the story; it was later replaced with the significantly less expensive "Red Dwarf: Duct Soup" (1997).

For the DVD release of the seventh series, it was included as an extra feature in order to show what might have been. The first draft of the script, considered the best, was performed by Chris Barrie (Rimmer), then edited by Jem Whippey and set to a series of images drawn by Neil Maguire, in order to get as close to the original concept as possible.

Bodysnatcher was a partly finished script that was written but unused for the first series of the BBC sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf.

To headline the release of Red Dwarf Remastered on DVD in Autumn 2007, the same audio story board process used in recreating the lost episode of Series VII, Identity Within, has been used to create the Bodysnatcher episode. When the script was retrieved from the vaults of Grant Naylor offices, it was found to be without an ending. The writers Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, who went their separate ways during pre-production on the ITV series The 10%ers in 1996, collaborated on bringing the script into line with the series' continuity and giving it an end.

Following the creation and reception of the remastered shows.

An exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of new three-part series Back to Earth, which reunited the cult sci-fi comedy's original cast.

Back to Earth takes place after series X. Kochanski is dead and the crew are hurled through a portal and discover they are just characters from a TV series.

Knowing that they will die in the final episode the Dwarfers, in best Blade Runner traditions, decide to track down their creators to discover how long they have left to live.

First the crew attempt to track down the actors who play them in the series and their metaphysical odyssey begins...

The crew stumble on a science centre where vile historical figures have been 'cured' of evil.

A ship full of rogue androids who broke their programming want to help Kryten do the same. The M.I.L.F can only spell trouble for the remainder of the crew.

The boys from the Dwarf discover a ship where all forms of criticism are illegal.

The machines of Red Dwarf go on strike. Kryten and Rimmer campaign against each other for their votes in an election to represent them.
