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.

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. He passes, he's on his way, says goodbye to Lister, Cat and Kryten , but he hadn't reckoned on one thing....Will love ruin it for Rimmer, the man that no one has ever loved. 26. The Inquisitor. 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. How will slobby Lister, vain Cat, cowardly Rimmer and subservient Kryten justify their lives.

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. From another dimension comes Ace Rimmer, another Arnold Rimmer but one who is a hero, brave, manly, and ...what a guy!! 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. The droids are having a civil war, good vs evil, droids of Marilyn Munroe, Stan Laurel, Elvis , and more versus Hitler, Caligula, Rasputin droids. Good are losing.....Rimmer to the rescue hopefully.

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 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.

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?

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.

THE VISE David and Edgar intercept an alien data drop and recover the partially burned contents of a briefcase. A picture inside convinces them that Arnold Warren is an alien. Warren is seeking confirmation to a post supervising a space tracking project. He would be one of the few black men to hold such a high post. Standing between him and that goal is Jim Baxter, a Senate investigator who also happens to be black. Baxter's wife Celia wants black heroes for her son, so she's pressuring her husband to recommend Warren. Against that, David Vincent only has a wildly implausible story: that Warren is a man from outer space! Convincing Baxter to look further means appealing to his policeman's instincts.

David's trouble is figuring out how to prove it when Avery is surrounded at all times by fanatics - not all of whom are human. The key may lie in Now magazine writer Bill Shay, if David can trust him with the truth. 12. LABYRINTH David manages to subdue an alien and takes him to a doctor. The x-rays reveal that internally he's not human. This is proof that David can take to a project that investigates the possibility of extraterrestrial contact. He offers the x-rays to the project director, Dr Crowell, but the wife of the doctor who took them recants, claiming the x-rays David offered are fakes.
