List of Red Dwarf episodes
This is a list of television episodes from the BBC's cult sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf. There are ten series, 61 episodes in total. The first six series were written by co-creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, while Series VII and VIII were written by Naylor with collaborations from other writers and Back to Earth and Series X were written by Naylor alone. Series I and II were produced by Paul Jackson Productions (with Grant Naylor Productions taking over from Series III) for BBC North, and broadcast on BBC2. Red Dwarf first aired on 15 February 1988[1] and ended its original run on BBC2, by then rebranded BBC Two, on 5 April 1999 after eight series,[2] with some PBS stations in the United States airing the entire eighth series earlier on 7 March.[3] From 2009, Grant Naylor Productions produced new episodes for UKTV, which were broadcast on the TV channel Dave. The series follows the fortunes of Dave Lister who is stranded three million years in the future, together with the hologrammatic representation of his former bunkmate and immediate superior Arnold Rimmer; a creature known only as Cat; and the ship's computer Holly.[4] During Series II, the crew encounter a mechanoid called Kryten, who joins them from Series III onwards.[5] In Series VI the Red Dwarf ship has been stolen from the crew, forcing them to travel in the smaller Starbug craft for two series.[6] In Series VII Kristine Kochanski, Lister's former love interest, joins the crew, following the departure of Rimmer.[7] In series VIII the entire crew of the Red Dwarf ship – including a pre-accident Rimmer – are resurrected, but the Starbug crew, along with Rimmer, find themselves sentenced to two years in the ship's brig for "abusing classified information".[8] Series IX (Red Dwarf: Back to Earth) involves Lister, Rimmer (back as a hologram), Cat, and Kryten hallucinating that they've arrived on Earth in another dimension in the early 21st century, and Series X sees the same four crew members continue their adventures back on Red Dwarf.

Red Dwarf I (1988)[edit]
The pilot script was written in 1983; the writing duo team of Grant and Naylor handed the finished script to their agent Paul Jackson who had trouble convincing the BBC to take on the series.[16][17] Three years after the initial rejections, the script was accepted by BBC North West.[18] The series almost did not happen due to an electricians strike at the BBC in 1987 which prevented filming and the project was shelved.[19] Filming eventually went ahead after the industrial action was resolved.[20] A remastered version of this series was produced and broadcast in some countries.

|15 February 1988
|Aboard the Jupiter Mining Corporation (JMC) vessel Red Dwarf, the lowest-ranking crew member and utter slob Dave Lister (Craig Charles), technician third-class is sentenced to be frozen for 18-months in suspended animation as punishment for breaking quarantine regulations by smuggling his pregnant cat Frankenstein on board, a pet he had obtained while on leave on Titan. He is given the option of either having the cat dissected or be frozen in stasis, he chooses to save his cat. But Lister awakes from stasis only to find the rest of the crew have since been wiped out in a radioactive disaster, and he has actually been frozen for 3-million years. However, to both his relief and horror, he is not alone. The ship's computer Holly (Norman Lovett) has revived Arnold Rimmer (Chris Barrie), his austere and petty bunkmate, in the form of a hologram, he was the one who was responsible for not preventing the accident that wiped out the crew. Also Lister's pregnant cat, Frankenstein, was sealed in the hull during the radiation leak, and her kittens bred there for 3-million years and evolved into a race of humanoid life-forms, Felis sapiens, bred from the domestic housecat and about half as smart. They meet one of these life forms on the ship, Lister decides to call it Cat (Danny John-Jules). The episode ends with Lister saying, "Holly, plot a course for Fiji. Look out Earth, the slime's coming home!"
|"Future Echoes"

|22 February 1988
|Red Dwarf has been steadily accelerating for three million years and when it breaches light speed the new crew begin to experience visions from their own futures. Lister is shocked that his future self appears to have blown up while making a repair to the ship. However it was not him he saw, it was his son Bexley as revealed by a future echo Lister aged 171. The future Lister tells present Lister to run to the medibay to take a picture of Jim and Bexley as babies.

|29 February 1988
|Lister wants to go on a date with the hologram of his former love interest, navigation officer Kristine Kochanski (C. P. Grogan), but it would mean replacing Rimmer as the ship hologram, which of course Rimmer will not let happen. Lister decides to do a cooking exam so he can become a chef, and if he passes he will hold sufficient rank to order this. Rimmer attempts to discourage Lister from taking the exam, but fails in this task.

|7 March 1988
|Red Dwarf stumbles upon one of its own garbage pods, and Rimmer is convinced that it's a stasis capsule carrying a dormant alien woman. Meanwhile, Lister learns about Cat's people (the Felis sapiens) and discovers he is their mythical god, "Cloister the Stupid", and will bring them to the mythical island of Fuchal.

|Lister contracts a mutated pneumonia virus. The hallucinations of his fevered brain materialise in solid form, and suddenly the ship is beset by herring rain and exploding 16th century Mayor of Warsaw.

|Rimmer creates his perfect companion, an identical hologrammatic duplicate of himself. He moves out of his quarters he shares with Lister and starts rooming with his doppelgänger. At first he enjoys it, but they eventually began to despise each other. Soon the two Rimmers find themselves locked in a conflict so fierce, only one of them can stay.
Red Dwarf II (1988)[edit]
Realising that they were limited with stories based on the huge, but empty, mining ship of Red Dwarf, writers Grant and Naylor decided to go in a different direction for Series II. A small shuttle ship, Blue Midget, was designed to ferry the crew to and from different locations.[21] The mechanoid, Kryten, appeared in the first episode as a one off. The writers had resisted using robot characters as they had considered the practice a sci-fi cliché.[21] A remastered version of this series was produced and broadcast in some countries.

|6 September 1988
|Red Dwarf intercepts an SOS distress call from the American Space cruiser Nova 5, which has crashed on an asteroid. Much to their disappointment, the crew (who are expecting to find female crew members) find the only survivor is Kryten (David Ross), a service mechanoid with an over-active guilt chip. Lister wants to teach Kryten to be rebellious, whilst Rimmer wants to abuse Kryten's servitude.

|13 September 1988
|A post pod carrying a three-million-year-old bag of mail arrives, and Rimmer becomes depressed when he reads a letter saying his dad is dead. Meanwhile the Dwarfers play a total-immersion computer game called "Better Than Life" which makes the player's wishes come true. Rimmer's neurotic brain fittingly begins to rebel against the fantasy and turn it into a nightmare.
|"Thanks for the Memory"
|Rob Grant & Doug Naylor
|Ed Bye
|20 September 1988
|The crew wake up after celebrating the anniversary of Rimmer's death, only to find four whole days have passed and they've got no memories of the previous four days. But when they find the ship's black box on a moon, they slowly learn what happened over the past four days.

|Rob Grant & Doug Naylor
|Ed Bye

|4 October 1988
|When the ship's "senile" computer, Holly, allows a meteorite to damage the ship and Rimmer's hologram to malfunction, the crew lose faith in him. Holly's back-up computer, Queeg 500 (Charles Augins), takes command of Red Dwarf. When Queeg 500 runs the ship like a military garrison, the Dwarfers have a change of heart and want Holly back. Despite their misgivings, Holly challenges Queeg to a game of chess, where the loser gets erased from the system.
|"Parallel Universe"
|Rob Grant & Doug Naylor
|Ed Bye
|11 October 1988
|The Dwarfers test Holly's new invention, the "Holly Hop Drive", which will supposedly warp them back to Earth in seconds. Instead Red Dwarf enters an alternate parallel dimension in which the Dwarfers encounter female versions of themselves – Cat, however, encounters an opposite version of himself instead, the scruffy Dog. Lister gets drunk and sleeps with his female self. Later he finds himself pregnant with twins, as in the parallel dimension, it is the men who fall pregnant.
Red Dwarf III (1989)[edit]
With Grant and Naylor directly involved with the series' production, under Grant Naylor Productions, they radically changed the look of the show.[22] The opening credits sequence was changed. A new upbeat version of the theme tune played over clips from the series.[23] A new official Red Dwarf logo also appeared at the end of the credit sequence.[22] Starbug was introduced as the new spaceship in place of Blue Midget.[24] The look of the show had been overhauled with the incoming Mel Bibby who had re-designed the old grey sets.[25] Costumes were overhauled as well as Costume designer Howard Burden brought in a new stylish look to the crew.[26] A remastered version of this series was produced and broadcast in some countries.
There were a number of loose ends from the first two series, and changes in the third series, that were explained off by a text intro to the first show of Series III. This was done in the form of scrolling text across outer space, in a parody of the introductions to the Star Wars movies. The loose ends included the return of Kryten, Lister being pregnant, delivering twins Jim and Bexley, who grow up in a matter of days, then wind up in the parallel universe with the female version of Lister.
The regular cast changed for Series III: Robert Llewellyn came in as Kryten, and Hattie Hayridge replaced the departing Lovett.[27] Craig Charles, Chris Barrie and Danny John-Jules remained as Lister, Rimmer and Cat respectively.[28]
The character of Kryten was originally intended as a one-off appearance in the series-two episode "Kryten", but had returned mainly to broaden the story potential. The show was becoming difficult to write for. At the insistence of Naylor, Kryten returned to complete the team.[29] They had approached David Ross with the intention of bringing him back to play the regular role of Kryten. Ross, however, was in a stage play Flea In Her Ear and was not available, so they went to see Robert Llewellyn. Llewellyn was also in a stage show called Mammon: Robot Born of Woman, playing a robot. They saw his performance and were impressed.[29]

|The crew become radically different people after they encounter a polymorph, a genetically engineered shape-changing mutant that feeds on negative emotions. After escaping from the polymorph they decide that there are only two options, one: take it on, or two: run away. Two has always been the Cat's favourite number anyway. In the course four emotions are lost: vanity, guilt, anger and fear.

|Rimmer suggests that the perfect way to help Lister get "healthy" is swapping bodies, by implanting his mind into Lister's and vice versa, so that Rimmer can undergo a hefty exercise regime in Lister's body. However, Rimmer is overtaken with excitement at the prospect of having a physical body again and refuses to give it back to Lister.

|The developing fluid that Kryten uses to process old photographs mutates and the photographs come alive. The crew find they can go into the photograph, and Lister finds that the photographs allows them to go back in time. Using this he plans on changing history so that he does not end up marooned in deep space. Director Ed Bye's wife Ruby Wax made a Cameo appearance as the presenter of "Lifestyles of the Disgustingly Rich and Famous."

|Lister receives a pre-recorded message from Jim Reaper (as in "the Grim Reaper"), head of Diva-Droid international, the company that created Kryten. Kryten is ordered to be dismantled within 24 hours and is to be replaced by Hudzen-10 (Gordon Kennedy), a super-strong android, who has been tracking Kryten for thousands of years and is now on an intercept course with Red Dwarf. The crew decide to throw Kryten a leaving party, and give him one last night to remember.
Red Dwarf IV (1991)[edit]
Due to the old studio in Manchester undergoing refurbishment, the recording of Series IV moved to Shepperton Studios.[30] Series IV was not broadcast as originally intended. The BBC had decided to start off with the romantic story of "Camille" for Valentine's Day.[31] The Gulf War outbreak also affected the series running order as both the anti-war "Meltdown" and heroic Ace Rimmer's "Dimension Jump" episodes were postponed.[32]

Later, when Kryten rescues a mechanoid named Camille, the sole survivor from a crashed spaceship, she appears to be his perfect mechanoid partner. However, Rimmer and Lister also see their fantasy women when they see Camille. Secrets, lies and broken hearts ensue, along with an ending similar to Lister's favourite film, Casablanca.

They decide to go to "Justice World" to discover the contents of the pod. Things become worse when a justice scan reveals that Rimmer is guilty of the radioactive disaster that wiped out the entire crew of Red Dwarf, equal to 1,167 separate counts of second-degree murder, and he is promptly convicted and sentenced.

|Kryten uses a prototype "matter paddle" to teleport the crew to a nearby planet with an S3 (or Earth-like) atmosphere. They discover the planet has been visited by humans years previously, who populated the planet with "wax droids" – animated wax works of famous characters from Earth's history including Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Gandhi, Winnie the Pooh, Mother Teresa and Elvis Presley, who have now gone berserk, and are at war.
Red Dwarf V (1992)[edit]
The series returned without regular director Ed Bye, who had agreed to direct his wife Ruby Wax's television show The Full Wax.[33] New director Juliet May found it hard to work with the science fiction elements of the series[34] and left before the series had completed. The remaining episodes were directed by Grant and Naylor.[35]

|Rimmer is abducted by holograms of superior intelligence, away to a space vessel which is itself hologrammatic, where Rimmer has a physical presence and where twice-daily sex is a health requirement but emotional attachment is bad manners. Rimmer applies to join the crew, feeling that this is his chance of becoming an officer and getting a life. To do this he must pass an exam against a fellow hologram, which is complicated when he discovers his opponent is Nirvanah Crane (Jane Horrocks), a female hologram who's fallen for him.

The crew escape aboard Starbug but find that the Triplicator has made two copies of Red Dwarf in place of the original. One of these copies has extracted the "good" qualities of the former vessel, and the other has extracted the "bad" qualities. The crew board one, first meeting angelic versions of themselves, then to the other, meeting demonic versions of themselves.

|The crew take Starbug down into the watery depths of an ocean planet to investigate the wreck of the SSS Esperanto. They find that the ship's crew have committed suicide, then escape to try and avoid attack from a sea monster, the "Despair Squid". The crew suddenly wake up to find they are not who they think they are, Red Dwarf and Starbug did not exist, and they have in fact been playing a virtual reality computer game for four years. This turns out to be a hallucination caused by the despair squid to make them commit suicide.
Red Dwarf VI (1993)[edit]
The writing of Series VI was rushed due to the fact that the BBC wanted the episodes completed as soon as possible. Grant and Naylor had originally hoped to both write and direct Series VI, but the rapid production schedule meant this was unfeasible, and Andy de Emmony was brought in to direct the series. The writers decided to make changes for the new series – Red Dwarf itself was written out, thus removing Hattie Hayridge's Holly – and the series was set entirely aboard Starbug. During the series Rimmer would also obtain "hardlight", which would effectively give him a physical presence. For the first time in the series history a story arc was introduced and followed throughout the episodes leading up to the series cliffhanger.[36]

|Two hundred years after investigating the SSS Esperanto, the crew awake from suspended animation aboard Starbug with amnesia, and find that their mothership Red Dwarf is missing. Chasing a faint vapour trail which may lead to their mothership, the crew travel through an asteroid field containing lost and crashed spaceships. The asteroid field is inhabited by "psirens", genetically engineered creatures that telepathically lure the ship's crew onto the asteroids so that they can suck out their brains.

|Chasing the vapour trail of Red Dwarf into a gas nebula, Starbug is taken over by a tractor beam which takes it to a space station. There the crew discover Legion, a highly intelligent, sophisticated and cultured lifeform conceived out of an experiment by a group of famous scientists. It is Legion who modifies Rimmer's holo-projection unit, enabling him to become a "hardlight" hologram (his jacket goes from red in "softlight" to blue in hardlight), as a result he is able to touch, feel, eat, and experience pain – but still being made of light, cannot be physically harmed. They learn that Legion is composed from the minds of each member of the crew, combined and magnified, and as such they are sustaining his very existence with their presence. Legion will not allow them to leave and continue the search for Red Dwarf.

|Starbug narrowly wins a battle with "rogue simulants". However the "simulants" have infected Starbug with a computer virus and the ship is locked on a collision course with a volcanic planet. Kryten attempts to fight the virus, with the battle taking the form of an old wild west movie in his digital mind. The virus overtakes him, so Lister, Cat and Rimmer enter Kryten's wild-west dream using an artificial reality video game in attempt to help Kryten come up with an antidote.

|Starbug enters an artificial fog containing devices that create false realities. Persevering through it, the crew find what it is hiding – a time machine. Shortly after, they meet their future selves, from fifteen years later. The crew learn that their future selves are incredibly corrupt and amoral through abuse of the time drive, to experience the "very best" of history. In the end, the two Starbug craft engage in a space battle to end all space battles.
Red Dwarf VII (1997)[edit]
After Series VI, co-creator and writer Rob Grant had decided to leave the series to pursue other non-Red Dwarf projects.[37] Naylor continued with the series to build towards the often discussed movie. To help with the expanding episode number, Naylor brought in the help of other writers like Paul Alexander. Chris Barrie, disappointed with the hectic workload of series VI, had decided to only take part in four of the episodes. Kochanski (now played by Chloë Annett) was brought back as a regular character.[38]
Changes to the show itself were evident with the mix of science fiction and sit-com episodes throughout. This was an attempt by Naylor to move away from the "monster of the week" format that he felt Series VI suffered from.[38] Ed Bye also returned to direct the series after leaving due to scheduling clashes during Series V. The studio audience was now removed from the series and, much like feature-length films, the episodes were mostly shot using one camera.[39] Episodes were still videotaped, but were digitally processed to look like film, and although there was no live audience, a laughter track was later recorded at a screening of the episodes before an audience.[40]

|Starbug is travelling through a rather uninteresting region of space and the crew are bored and begin to nitpick at petty areas of their lives. Meanwhile Lister finds, much to his own surprise and disgust, that he is missing Rimmer, and even having romantic dreams about him returning. Kryten's solution is to take him on a ride called "The Rimmer Experience," which recounts outrageously fictionalised events from Rimmer's diaries.

|Searching for a new head for Kryten, which exploded due to build-up of negative thought after an incident involving ketchup added to lobster, the crew encounter a rogue simulant on a deserted ship. The simulant kidnaps Kryten and commissions one of his own droids, Able, to fix him up. But Kryten and Able discover they're brothers, the same model, and Able helps Kryten escape. Kryten then discovers from Able a disturbing secret about their creator.

|The crew come across a frozen supply ship, the Leviathan, with one survivor: Caroline Carmen, one of Lister's former crushes. She revives in the middle of the night, as a zombie; she has been dead for a long time, and infects Lister with the dreaded Epideme virus. Lister tries talking with the virus directly through a communication link (Epideme is a sentient, self-aware organism) but Epideme refuses to let Lister live. Drastic action must be taken if Lister is to survive.

|Lister tries to cope with the loss of his arm. Meanwhile Kryten searches for his nanobots – incredibly advanced microscopic robots, which can alter forms of matter at the sub-atomic level – so that he can rebuild Lister's arm. Kryten finds the nanobots in Lister's laundry basket, and also discovers that it was the nanobots who stole the mothership Red Dwarf in the first instance. Kryten gets the nanobots to rebuild both Red Dwarf and Lister's arm. Red Dwarf makes an appearance, but with one problem – its size.
Red Dwarf VIII (1999)[edit]
Having changed the look and format for Series VII, Naylor returned to the show's roots for Series VIII. Writing the series himself, Naylor resurrected the original Red Dwarf crew, along with Holly, played again by Norman Lovett, and Chris Barrie as Rimmer.[41] With the old cast and Red Dwarf back, the series moved back to being videotaped in front of a studio audience.[42] The series ended on a cliffhanger that has still to be resolved.[41] With 52 episodes the show was now in a good position for international syndication and the prospect of a feature-length film increased.[3]
KTEH, a PBS station in San Jose, California, broadcast the entire series on 7 March 1999. As a result, they broadcast the last five episodes of Series VIII before they were aired in the UK. "Cassandra" was also broadcast on other PBS stations on 7 March 1999 as well.[43]

|The nanobots have rebuilt Red Dwarf not only in its entirety, but to its better, original design plans. In effect, the fresh new Red Dwarf is better than the old version of the ship the nanobots deconstructed in the first place – faster, more streamlined, containing more advanced technology, which was not included the first time round due to budget cutbacks. After crashing Starbug in the docking bay, they discover the nanobots have also resurrected the original crew complement of Red Dwarf who were killed in the radioactive disaster three million years previously, and who now have no memory of the incident or events following it. Lister tries to persuade the newly resurrected Arnold Rimmer to help him escape so that he can track down the nanobots to corroborate his story. However the only way for Lister to convince Rimmer is by helping Rimmer get promoted using a disc of confidential files left in the crashed wreckage of Starbug.

Lister signs up the gang for the Canaries, thinking it is the prison choir and enticed by the list of privileges that go with it. Lister is unaware the Canaries is actually a convict army utilised for reconnaissance on uncharted planets. Their first assignment is to investigate an abandoned spaceship on an ocean planet, where they discover Cassandra (Geraldine McEwan), a computer that can predict the future.

Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (2009)[edit]
In 2009, UKTV channel Dave screened three new 25-minute specials to celebrate the 21st anniversary of the show. The new episodes form part of an effort by Dave to screen more original programming, instead of just repeats. The specials were made up of a three-part story, "Back to Earth", as well as a "Making-of" special. Originally, there were to be two episodes, a "Making-of" and a live show titled Red Dwarf: Unplugged. However, according to Robert Llewellyn on 'Twitter', the Live Show had been cancelled due to time and money and there would be three episodes instead.[44] As with series 7, these episodes were not filmed in front of a live studio audience; however, unlike the seventh series, it was not shown to an audience at a later date to record the audience laughter.

They find a DVD box for "Back to Earth" and discover that they are to die at the end. They decide to track down their creators to plead for an extension, in a parody of Blade Runner. The DVD box also refers to a series X that does not actually exist yet. Katerina arrives via a second portal, but is quickly killed by Rimmer after she makes the mistake of telling him that taking the life of a hologram is not murder as they are already dead. A discussion between Lister and two children on a bus reveals that Kochanski may not be dead.

|Lister, Rimmer, Kryten and Cat use the car they take from the President of the Red Dwarf fan club, made out to resemble Starbug. They go to the set of Coronation Street, where they question Craig Charles about how much time they have left. Charles tells them they are down to their last episode, as well as giving them the address of "the creator", before joking that he needs to go back to the Priory (a reference to the actor's real life drug problems). They find the creator, in a scene heavily referencing Blade Runner. He tells them that their deaths cannot be undone, but they will at least die gloriously. In a struggle Lister manages to kill him, before finding that this was scripted by the creator. Lister then burns the creator's script and rewrites their own ending. They then discover that the typewriter is not determining their actions. The small origami sculptures left by the Cat turn out to be squids, leading the crew to realise that they have been drawn into an alternative reality by another despair squid. Rimmer, Kryten and Cat have formed resistance to the Despair Squid through their previous meeting, but Lister chooses to stay in the false reality where he gets together with Kochanski, despite the knowledge that she isn't real. After a period of time with Kochanski Lister decides to head back to his own reality, with a renewed sense of his own self-worth, determined to find the real Kochanski and win her back. The episode ends with the four laughing at the fact that the fans of Red Dwarf created by the Despair Squid's hallucination (i.e. the viewers) will think that their reality is the real one, and the Red Dwarf reality dependent on it, as opposed to the other way round.
Red Dwarf X (2012)[edit]
Red Dwarf returned for its first full series since 1999 in October 2012 for six new episodes written by Doug Naylor filmed before a live audience.[45] It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on 19 November 2012.[46][47] All four original cast members from Back to Earth reprised their roles.

Red Dwarf XI (2016)[edit]
It was confirmed on 2 May 2015 that an eleventh series of Red Dwarf would be filmed in 2015 for a release in 2016. The series will be, once again, aired on Dave. All the cast are expected to return to their roles. After the announcement of an eleventh and twelfth series of Red Dwarf, Craig Charles quit his role on Coronation Street to focus on filming for the eleventh series.
Red Dwarf XII (2017)[edit]
A twelfth series of Red Dwarf was confirmed along with the announcement news of an eleventh series on 2 May 2015. It is expected to air in 2017 on Dave.
Unbroadcast scripts[edit]
Originally to be the second episode of Series I, and would have involved Rimmer going insane trying to deal with his intangibility and attempting to build himself a new body by stealing parts of Lister's. This idea was, in a way, used in the episode "Bodyswap" in Series III. "Bodysnatcher" itself was dropped, and "Me2" filled the sixth spot in the first series.[51]
This would have been the opening episode to Series III. It was to be a direct continuation of the earlier episode "Parallel Universe" (the last episode of Series II), and would deal primarily with Lister's pregnancy. The idea was ultimately rejected by Grant and Naylor who felt that the script was unfunny and possibly sexist. The events were referenced in the pre-title sequence of the episode "Backwards".[52]
"Identity Within"[edit]
This episode was going to be in Series VII but was replaced by "Duct Soup" for budgetary reasons. A reconstructed version of the episode, (read by Chris Barrie), appears on the Series VII DVD release.[51][53] The Cat is fatally ill, with only one cure: he has to have sex. They travel to a GELF village, where a female cat called Aura is being held prisoner for auction. Lister, Rimmer and Kryten have to save Aura and get her to fall in love with the Cat before he dies from being a virgin.
Feature film[edit]
Since Series VIII ended in 1999, Doug Naylor has been attempting to make a feature-length version of the show. A script has been written, by Naylor, and flyers began circulating around certain websites.[54] The flyer outlined the movie's plot, set in the distant future where Homo Sapienoids – a fearsome flesh-machine hybrid race – had taken over the solar system and were wiping out the human race. Spaceships that tried to escape Earth were hunted down until only one remained... Red Dwarf.[55] Pre-production began in 2004 and filming was planned for 2005.[55] However, sufficient funding has not been forthcoming and production was put on hold.[56]
American pilots[edit]
Two versions of a pilot episode for a proposed NBC version of Red Dwarf were produced in 1992—a complete episode and a partial episode compiled with different cast members. Neither has been televised, though excerpts from the first pilot have been released on the Red Dwarf V DVD set.

1. Field of the Disclosure
The disclosure relates generally to retractable instruments and more specifically to cap-less, retractable writing instruments having a one-piece valve door actuating assembly.
2. Related Technology
One example of a cap-less, retractable writing instrument is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,048,990, which is hereby incorporated by reference. The cap-less writing instrument includes a writing member having a writing tip. The writing member is accommodated in a valve that is disposed inside a writing instrument body. A lid for closing an end opening of the valve is disposed on the valve near the front end thereof. A writing member moving mechanism moves the writing member forwardly and locks the writing member at a writing position with the writing tip protruding through the front of the writing instrument body. The moving mechanism includes separate flexible thread-like members that connect the writing member moving mechanism to the lid so that after the writing member is retracted, the lid is pulled backwardly so as to be brought into contact with the valve, thereby substantially sealing the writing member within the valve and preventing the writing tip from drying out. Because the prior art cap-less writing instrument uses flexible connecting members, the prior art cap-less writing instrument relies to some extent on the nib to push the lid to an open position during extension of the writing instrument at least until the lid is positioned such that the thread member can exert a backwardly directed force on same. As a result of this repeated contact between the nib and the lid, ink builds up on the inner surface of the lid. The uneven inner lid surface results in incomplete contact with the valve. This incomplete contact manifests as one or more breaches in the seal between the lid the valve, thereby allowing premature ink or solvent evaporation from the writing tip and lending to diminished performance of the entire assembly.
Some capless writing instruments incorporate more robust connecting members. One such writing instrument includes connecting members which are molded into a snap ring or seal seat and thus connect the snap ring to the lid. One example of a prior capless writing instrument is the Pentel NX50, which is currently available in Japan. However, in such writing instruments, the lid is a separate component from the valve body. Because the lid is separate component, such prior capless writing instruments use a complicated set of channels and tabs on the connecting members and/or the valve body to bias the lid open when protracting the writing instrument. During closing, it is easy for alignment between the lid and the valve to become displaced and for the lid to contact the valve in different orientations due to the separate components (i.e., there is no alignment mechanism between the lid and valve). As a result, over time, the lid can become worn and deformed and ultimately lose the ability to reliably seal the valve, thus leading to ink evaporation and premature drying of the nib.
In one embodiment, an instrument comprises an instrument body having an opening at one end. A valve is mounted within the instrument body, the valve having an opening at one end. An integral valve door is hingedly mounted to the valve proximate the opening. An actuating arm is molded to either the valve door or a seat ring. The actuating arm transmits forces under both tension and compression, from an instrument actuating device to the valve door. Thus, the valve door is both opened and closed substantially solely by the actuating arm.
In another embodiment, a retractable writing instrument comprises a writing member having a nib, the nib extending through an opening in a reservoir holder. A valve substantially surrounds the opening and the valve has an open end. A movement mechanism moves the writing member from a retracted position in which the nib is disposed substantially within the valve to an extended position in which the nib is extended outside of the valve through the open end. A lid is integrally attached to the valve at the open end, the lid being movable from an open position in which the lid exposes the open end of the valve to a closed position in which the lid covers the open end of the valve. An actuating arm is attached to the movement mechanism and to the lid, the transfer mechanism transmitting forces under tension or compression, through the actuating arm to the lid. Thus, the lid is both opened and closed by substantially solely by the actuating arm and the nib does not contact the lid during extension or retraction.
Exemplary aspects and features of an instrument constructed in accordance with the disclosure are described and explained in greater detail below with the aid of the drawing figures in which:
A cap-less writing instrument 10 generally constructed in accordance with the teachings of the disclosure is shown in
Turning now to
The valve 24 includes one or more stabilizing features, manifested in this embodiment as recessed guides 46. In the assembled condition, the actuating arms 28 may be disposed substantially within the guides 46. The guides 46 protect the actuating arms 28 from possible entanglement with the spring (not shown) which is a common problem in prior art designs. Additionally, the guides 46 provide lateral support to the actuating arms during opening of the lid 26. For example, any portion of the actuating arm 28 that remains within the guide 46 is effectively prevented from buckling or deforming under compressive loads. The guides 46 aid in sequenced opening of the lid 26 which will be discussed hereinafter.
Turning now to
The guides 46 support the geometric feature 50 as long as the geometric feature 50 is disposed substantially within the guides 46. As a result, the actuating arms 28 do not begin to deform or buckle as shown in
Another embodiment of a cap-less writing instrument 110 is shown in
Like the actuator arms 28, 128 of previous embodiments, the actuator arms 228 of the embodiment shown in
In the closed position, the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 are under tensile forces from the instrument moving mechanism. These tensile forces are transmitted through the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 which "pull down" on the lid 26, 126, 226 thus providing a positive sealing force between the lid 26, 126, 226 and the valve 24, 124, 224. The valve 24, 124, 224, lid 26, 126, 226 and actuator arms 28, 128, 228 may be molded from a single material, or from multiple materials (e.g., a single shot molding process or a double shot molding process). Based on clearances inside of the instrument body, the location at which the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 extend from the lid 26, 126, 226 may be optimized to provide adequate clearance for movement of the actuator arms 28, 128, 228.
As the instrument moving device moves the instrument towards the open (extended) position, the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 experience a change from a tensile force to a compressive force. Because the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 are rigid or semi-rigid, the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 transmit compressive force to the lid 26, 126, 226 thus pushing the lid 26, 126, 226 to the open position before the nib contacts an inner surface of the lid 26, 126, 226. Prior art devices were not capable of transferring compressive forces because prior art devices use flexible actuator arms, such as monofilament string. As the instrument protracts, the actuator arms 28, 128, 228 may bend or bow slightly outward under the compressive force, while still transmitting force under compression from the instrument moving device to the lid 26, 126, 226.
The disclosed embodiments make assembly more efficient and less costly as compared to prior art designs. For example, the disclosed embodiments eliminate the need to melt ends of the monofilament string or otherwise glue the monofilament string to the lid and seat ring. The melting process is difficult to control, very time consuming and expensive. The disclosed one-piece valve door actuating assemblies provide a more efficient assembly process and a more reliable and longer lasting seal between the lid and the valve.
The above disclosed valve lids, valves and actuator arms may be formed from any material that combines limited flexibility with the ability to transfer compressive forces to the valve lid. Such materials include, but are not limited to various materials including but not limited to natural and synthetic rubbers, thermoplastic elastomers, and conventional thermoplastics such as polypropylenes, nylons, etc.
Notwithstanding the disclosure that the actuator arms specifically illustrated herein include a spring to generate opening and closing forces which are transmitted to the lid through the actuating arms, a variety of force generating mechanisms can be used including but not limited to helical springs, leaf springs, etc.
The one-piece valve door assemblies may be used on virtually any instrument having a lid. For example, as will be appreciated by one of skill in the art, one-piece valve door assemblies as described above may be used in various retractable writing instruments such as highlighters, markers, felt-tipped pens, ball point pens, and the like. In addition to writing instruments, the one-piece valve door assemblies are also applicable to a variety of other retractable instruments including paint brush applicators, correction fluid applicators, make-up applicators, such as nail polish and mascara applicators, perfume applicators, thermometers, pH detectors, knives, fluid sampling devices, flash lights, laser pointers, and other instruments. The one-piece valve door assembly is particularly useful for writing instruments such as retractable markers having relatively large writing points as such instruments greatly benefit from the improved seal achieved with the improved valve assemblies described herein. In one aspect, the writing instrument is a permanent marker. In another aspect, the writing instrument may be a dry-erase marker.
Although certain one-piece valve door assemblies have been described herein in accordance with the teachings of the present disclosure, the scope of coverage of this patent is not limited thereto. On the contrary, while the invention has been shown and described in connection with various preferred embodiments, it is apparent that certain changes and modifications, in addition to those mentioned above, may be made. This patent covers all embodiments of the teachings of the disclosure that fairly fall within the scope of permissible equivalents. For example, the rigid or semi-rigid actuator arms may take on virtually any shape and/or size provided that they are capable of transmitting both compressive and tensile forces as described herein. Many other variations of the invention may also be used without departing from the principles outlined above. Accordingly, it is the intention to protect all variations and modifications that may occur to one of ordinary skill in the art.

Malaysia government bans fish exports to control prices
Published on Jan 13, 2014 12:47 PM
Malaysia halts fish exports
Malaysia has temporarily stopped the export of six types of fish to control fish prices, due to shortages caused by rough seas and flooding. It previously put a similar ban on some fish exports last year from July to September due to seasonal shortages, resulting in price spikes in Singapore. Here are the fish types affected by the latest ban:

Straits Times Graphic: Lin Zhaowei
Rough seas in the current monsoon season has forced the Malaysian government to put a stop to fish exports until March in a bid to control fish prices.
Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob made the announcement on Monday that the national fishermen's group known as Nekmat was told to stop exporting six types of fish for the time being.
"To overcome the shortage and prevent spiraling price of fish, we have instructed Nekmat to stop exporting six types of fish, namely kembung, selar, kerisi (bream), cencaru, tamban (greenback) and selar kuning," he said in a report by the Bernama news agency.
Singapore typically imports Indian mackerel (kembung), hardtail scad (cencaru), one-finlet scad (selar) and its yellow variant from Malaysia.
Malaysia had banned its fish exports between July and September last year to address seasonal shortage, resulting in fish prices spiking between 10 and 30 per cent in Singapore.
The current monsoon season, expected to last until late February, has caused floods in Malaysia's east coast towns in Pahang and Kelantan, beaching thousands of fishermen.

Originally written on Fox Sports Wisconsin | Last updated 1/5/13
MILWAUKEE -- After a dunk in the fourth quarter Friday night, Carlos Delfino took a long look back at his former team's bench and smiled. There's no ill-will, he was just having fun. In his return to the building where he spent the last three years of his career, Delfino put on one of the offensive shows he did every so often in Milwaukee. Hitting 8 of 11 field goals and 6 of 7 three-pointers, Delfino scored 22 points to lead Houston to a 115-101 victory in a game it once trailed by 18 points. Delfino understands the business side of the game and doesn't blame the Milwaukee Bucks for not offering him a contract, but during the offseason he was hoping they would. The Argentine forward didn't want to leave the franchise that gave him his first real consistent minutes in the league, and the Bucks didn't want him to leave. But an abundance of wing players left Delfino as the odd man out. "After you spend three years defending the colors, you want to go back to the city," Delfino sai...

This question exists because it has historical significance, but it is not considered a good, on-topic question for this site, so please do not use it as evidence that you can ask similar questions here. This question and its answers are frozen and cannot be changed. More info: help center.
The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage by Cliff Stoll
This isn't a technical book, but a true story about how a real person stumbles upon a hacker. He watches the hacker operate and notifies various three letter agencies with little or no response.
While not technical (and maybe a bit cliched now?) the principles are fantastic and highly applicable to sysadmin work.
Sun Tzu: The Art of War. This is a very important book for sys administrators too because you will see many example to help you through difficult and challenging times in your career. You will learn how to win without fighting a single battle.
For network admins: TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols (2nd Edition). You should know how TCP/IP works.
Unix Power Tools, Third Edition. I own three copies of this, two in the office and one at home. If you like to become a Unix guru, grow a beard and read this book.
Essential System Administration was already mentioned. Espescially useful if you are the boss to a group of SA's
The only essential I have is The Practice of System and Network Administration by Limoncelli, Hogan, et al. My first edition copy lives on my desk
The Visible Ops Handbook: Implementing ITIL in 4 Practical and Auditable Steps by Kevin Behr, Gene Kim and George Spafford.
This gives a great guide to getting IT under control and improving it, based on the experiences of high performing IT organisations. From the book website:
And finally, short and sweet - not a 1000 page tome to wade through.
And so it all began...
Some of the best book's I have ever read...
The Practice of Systems and Network administration by Limoncelli - will probably be a common theme in this thread.
Writing secure code by M. Howard - honestly changed the way I write code in the span of about 2 days.
Beginning Python by Hetland - Python for people who already know how to program.
The book that shaped my life as a sysadmin, it's a bit outdated but written from the dads (at least one of them) of UNIX.
Get it here.
I might get booted off of this site, given who wrote this, but...
You can't go wrong with a book that starts with nothing, involves a dude in a telegraph relay office who wants to go fishing, and ends with a fully working computer.
Another great choice; it's not the newest, but it explains things in a fundamental way, from which standpoint you can understand the newest fanciness:
In terms of giving you the baseline understanding of everything you need to know, grab these two. With a good foundation, you can then build a great house.
If there really is a "must read" book for either sys admins or programmers I've yet to come across it. No one book has anywhere near enough information to fit the description. However, there are books that might qualify if you greatly narrow down the target audience. For me the most valuable book I have is The Perl Cookbook (second edition). It's the only one I open on a fairly regular basis.
In the beginning was the command line
Not exactly SysAdmin related but it has to be one of the most influential IT books out there.
Not for the faint of heart, this is the only book I know that tries to describe and explain adiministering complex systems using systematic, scientific principles and mathematical models.
From the author of cfengine:
Mark Burgess: Principles of Network and System Administration
Surprisingly enough nobody came up with this one:
Unix System Management Primer Plus, by Jeff Horwitz.
Best choice: Unix System Management Primer Plus, by Jeff Horwitz.
This book is almost criminally unknown, if you ask me. There's a ton of excellent technical books out there that will tell you specific details of operation of a particular piece of hardware, or a piece of software. There's lots of good ones on scripting, automation, and programming.
This isn't the book to teach you every aspect of administering your server or application, but this is the one that teaches you how to be a System Administrator.
It covers things that you just don't find in other books, including chapters on infrastructure and data center design and build out, server deployment, patching and upgrades, monitoring, user support, outages, high availability, capacity planning, automation, security, and more.
If you want to run one Unix/Linux box in your basement as a home server, this isn't the book for you. If you want to work as a System Administrator, particularly with Unix/Linux, you absolutely should read this book.
While this book is rather old - principles do not die easily. Combine it with The Linux Administration Handbook mentioned above, serve chilled:
UNIX System Administration Handbook
Also this one will help:
Essential Drucker, Druckers Management Essentials
Wwhen i was starting to work as a Systemadministrator alot of changes pass my life. The Point at this time was i had no idea what i had to expect with this changes. And i desided to read [1]. In a little distanced view i think that gave me alot of improvement for my daily work.
[1] http://www.amazon.com/Habits-Highly-Effective-People/dp/0743269519/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244200902&sr=8-1
I'll second the Limoncelli, et.al. 'The Practice of System and Network Administration,' but I'll add another, and possibly place it higher - Eliyahu M. Goldratt's 'The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement' I think it places any enterprise SysAdmin in the mindset of 'how do all plates spinning lead to a company's common goal.' When I worked QA/Field Engineer work at an ERP software co., prior to getting into SysAdmin work, this was 'the bible.'
Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values
(Often regarded as one of the best books on any topic.)
This quote (found here) is relevant:
I think the most influential book that you can read is Sex, Drugs and Economics: An Unconventional Introduction to Economics.
It's a pop economics book written by a british economist.
Since System Administration involves many different skills and it's usually different tasks depending where you're working, I believe it's important to develop a mindset using this book and making your own choices about what's best.
I vote for UNIX hints and hacks. A lot of the content is out of date now but it still helped me to think like a UNIX admin.

I used these for a 16 mile trail run with 3600 ft. of climbing at mt. st. helens straight out of the box. No blisters, no lost footing. These are a low profile minimal shoe with the perfect amount of underfoot protection. You can run over any size of rock in these with no worries of bruising. They allow for a natural stride and seem to form to whatever your foot is doing. They felt tight in the toebox until I began running and noticed that the shoe expands and moves with your foot allowing the toes to spread without feeling like a loose fitting shoe. I did take other reviewers advice and ordered a 1/2 size down from what I normally wear and they fit great. I couldn't be happier with this shoe.

Just an all around Country Boy living in the City, loooking for a side "partner" to venture off into the sunset with.
My perfect match, as I think I see it, should be someone who is ambitous, kind, unselfism, respectfull to others, able to laugh at them self, willing to be a "partner" in life, and just want to be happy and make life fun. . She should be the type of girl who isn't afraid to get dirty on a saturday morning and then can clean up really well to go saturday night. Someone who is comfortable to go out and try new things and aslo be willing to show me new things. She should be independant enough to take care of herself yet still be a little needy, so I have a place in the relationship. Someone who is willing to put the time in to really get to know someone. Someone who is organized, knows what she wants in life and tries to obtain it. Someone who is family oriented and would like to one day have kids or adopt if the timing doesn't work out. I would like to meet that special someone who wants you to be involved in every aspect of their life, not just someone to see on the weekends.

I realy do not have a favorite spot here, haven't been around enough. But I travel back to Pa alot. You show me around Baltimore and I will show you around my hometown.
I think my favorite thing to do right now is learn, about the city, the people, and the places. Trying to venture out and explore when time permits. could use some help from someone who knows.
I grew up in the country but now live in the city. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, Mountian Biking, Kayaking, Camping. I like to cook dinner, go to the gym, tennis, and am open for just about anything.
I do not read all that much, but lately it has been proceedures and law books. Work related materials and magazines of such.

Everyone's needs are very similar, but very different. We will build a specific insurance plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Insurance can be confusing. We want to take the time to show you the importance of coverages and how they protect YOU! All at a sound price while building a trusted relationship.
