My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

RED DWARF - SERIES 1 - PILOT - THE END



First aired: 2/15/1988   
Aboard the Jupiter Mining Corporation vessel Red Dwarf, Dave Lister, a lowly 3rd Technician, smuggles aboard a cat and is consequently confined to suspended animation for a severe violation of ship's regulations.
During his time in stasis his bunkmate Arnold Rimmer, an equally, if not more lowly 2nd Technician, is forced to perform the maintenance duties alone and inefficiently repairs a drive plate, causing it to fail and subjecting the entire crew to deadly radiation that kills them all almost instantly. 3 million years pass until Holly (the ship's computer) decides the radiation levels have lowered sufficiently and releases Lister from stasis and tells him of the accident and also resurrects Rimmer as a hologram to be a companion for Lister. After the initial shock, Lister realizes that he has the run of the ship, allowing him to be, basically, himself: a lazy, easygoing slob without a care in the world. In addition, Rimmer and Lister discover that his cat was pregnant, and had been sealed in the ship's hold during the accident and her descendants have bred there for the last 3 million years and have evolved into a humanoid, only one of whom is still on the ship. When he discovers his new friend, Lister decides to complete his dream of owning a farm on Fiji and orders Holly to set a course for Earth. THE BEGINNING!

I knew I would hate this, purchased the set for a friend but have never enjoyed the few episodes I've seen over the years. The humour is written for adolescents and students, and just wasn't funny (to me). Craig Charles is such a fake and a tosser this pilot never had a fighting chance with me. The best part was when everyone died, shame they didn't stay that way.
I'm sure this series gets better hence the volume produced, but it will be a long time before I sit down to view more of it.
