Red Dwarf is a British science fiction comedy franchise
created by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, which primarily consists of a television
sitcom that aired on BBC Two between 1988 and 1999, and on Dave since 2009,
gaining a cult following. The series follows low-ranking technician Dave
Lister, who awakens after being in suspended animation for three million years
to find that he is the last living human, and that he is alone on the mining
spacecraft Red Dwarf—save for a hologram of his deceased bunkmate Arnold Rimmer
and "Cat", a life form which evolved from Lister's pregnant cat.
