| ARTICLES RELATED TO British sitcom |  |  |  | British sitcom: Encyclopedia II - Red Dwarf - ScenarioIn the show, the Red Dwarf is a spaceship 5 miles long belonging to the Jupiter Mining Corporation. An on-board radiation leak kills everyone except for Dave Lister, who was in suspended animation at the time, and his pregnant cat, Frankenstein, who was safely sealed in the cargo hold. Lister had smuggled Frankenstein aboard the ship, but had been caught in possesion of the illegal life form (by having his photo taken with the cat and sending the film off the ship's lab for processing). Given the choice of giving up the location of the cat, or going into Stas ...

Seven further series have so far been produced, and a film is currently in pre-production.

Red Dwarf - Red Dwarf.
The main ship after which the show is named. Red Dwarf is five miles long, not including the scoop at the front, and can hold over a thousand crew members. It also holds a complement of Starbug and Blue Midget shuttlecrafts. The "scoop" at the front of the ship collects trace hydrogen gases from space and converts them into fuel: the ship, therefore, could theoretically keep on travelling forever. As a mining vessel, the Red dwarf has massive bays which apparently holds large asteroids in place for mining. Currently the ship is ...

|  |  |  | British sitcom: Encyclopedia II - Red Dwarf - Invented wordsRed Dwarf famously employed a vocabulary of fictional expletives in order to avoid using potentially-offensive expletives in the show, and to give nuance to futuristic colloquial language. By far, the most famous example is smeg. Variations of the word include: smegger, smeghead, smeg off, smeg-for-brains, and smegging hell; it is used as a synonym for the word fuck. In one episode, Rimmer tells a vending machine to "smeg off, you smeggy smegging smegger!"; "Bodyswap" features the phrase "Oh s ...

|  |  |  | British sitcom: Encyclopedia II - Red Dwarf - Talking BackwardsIn the season three episode "Backwards", there are several segments of reversed dialogue. Some of these are simply reversed recordings of the subtitled dialogue (a few with rather more "robust" language than the subtitled version), others are actors attempting (quite successfully) to speak backwards. An example of this is seen at the bar in the pub, where Lister discovers he has to order "Erskib" - played b ...

It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere.
I'm all alone, more or less.
Let me fly far away from here--
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun...
I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose,
Drinking fresh mango juice,
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes!
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun
Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun...
There is also an extended theme tune with two extra verses. These verses were not written by the ...
