RED DWARF III: The introduction
bob@castle.ed.ac.uk (Bob Gray)
I have had a number of requests for this, so here is the
text of the high-speed message seen at the start of the
first episode of RED DWARF III.
Thanks to Mike Bayliss <[email protected]> who sent me a
copy of the text which he had already typed in, and saved
me the trouble.
Think of this as a sort of anti-spoiler. The text really
should be read before seeing the first episode to know what
has happened and why everything has changed, but you can't
be meant to read it given the speed it scrolls up the screen.
OK, to set the scene, imagine a starfield.
Blue/white lettering scrolls into the bottom of the picture
and up and away from the screen, exactly as at the start of
"Star Wars".
RED DWARF III
THE SAGA
CONTNUUMS
THE STORY SO FAR...
Three million years in the
future, Dave Lister, the last
human being alive discovers
he is pregnant after a liason
with his female self in a parallel
universe. His pregnancy
[ Text speeds up ]
concludes with the successful
delivery of twin boys, Jim and
Bexley. However, because the
twins were conceived in another
universe, with different physical
laws, they suffer from highly
accelerated growth rates, and
are both eighteen years old
within three days of being
born. In order to save their
lives, Lister returns them to
the universe of their origin,
where they are reunited with
their father (a woman), and
are able to lead comparatively
normal lives. Well as normal
as you can be if you've been
born in a parallel universe and
your father's a woman and
your mother's a man and
you're eighteen years three
days after your birth. Shortly
afterwards, Kryten, the
service mechanoid who had left
the ship after being rescued
from his own crashed vessel,
the Nova 5, is found in pieces
after his space bike crash
lands onto an asteroid. Lister
rebuilds the 'noid, but is unable
to recapture his former
personality.
Meanwhile, Holly, the
increasingly erratic Red Dwarf
computer, performs a head
sex change operation on
himself. He bases his new face
on Hilly, a female computer
[ Text slows down again ]
with whom he'd once fallen
madly in love.
And now the saga continuums

SHOW TIMES article from Dec 12
KOO - WHAT A TURN-UP!
Once pronounced by the press as a possible match for Prince Andrew, Koo
Stark has ended up in an entanglement with Charles-Craig Charles, that
is, in the form of last man on earth Lister in Red Dwarf III (Tuesday
BBC2). But why would the actress and photographer leave her normal
social circle to join the motley crew pictured above? 'It's just that
I'm a fan of the series.' says Stark. Appearing in the same episode is
the shy and retiring comedienne Ruby Wax, typecast as a typically
understated American TV presenter, fervently feeding the lifestyles of
the rich and famous to the masses. 'What I couldn't understand was
producer Ed Bye's insistence that I slept with him before he'd give me
the part,' says Wax, 'particularly since I'm married to him.' Not
content to ration the incidences of nepotism to one per episode, the
show has also recruited Charles(Emile), younger brother of
Charles(Craig) to play a teenage Lister in a plot that goes back to the
future-or is it one that goes forward to the past?
