Chicken soup machine repairman and intergalactic loser Dave Lister awakes from suspended animation to discover he is the lone survivor of a radiation leak and is now three million years into deep space and the last surviving member of the human race. Dave is soon joined by a hologram of his dead bunkmate, a life-form who's evolved from his pet cat, and a neurotic sanitation mechanoid. Together this unlikely bunch of heroes attempt to find their way back to Earth, under the guidance of Holly, the ship's senile computer, encountering a whole heap of smeg on the way.

Red Dwarf (1988) 

English That's how you make an iconic show... Humor on the edge between pubescent fun and intellectual innuendo, characters like from a bad trip and a story that has no regard for the sci-fi genre. The Lister-Rimmer duo sparkles like a grinder, Cat adds flair and a dance pace to everything... and Kryten? He's cleaning Rimmer's underwear. Those who haven't seen this have missed out on the pinnacle of humorous series creation... And it ended with the best... How many good shows have done that? ()
