Red Dwarf

Red Dwarf is an enormous spaceship, mining around the moons of Saturn with a crew of 169 members. Before the end of the first episode, 168 of them are dead, wiped out by massive radiation leak. And the laughs just kept coming! Revived after three millions years, Dave Lister, whose personality is a bit radioactive, finds his only companions are a life-form evolved from his cat and Arnold J. Rimmer, a hologram simulation of his dead bunk-mate. Life gets a bit less lonely starting in Series Three, when they are joined by mechanoid servant Kryten, and even less lonely (and a bit more sexy) in series VII when human female Kochanski joins up. Devised by writers Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, the series ran from 1988 until 1999 and became a cult hit sitcom with a huge and dedicated fan following.
