Thanks to the nanobots, the Red Dwarf is back in business with its original crew on board, which means Rimmer is alive and well.

Armed with a stash of confidential files, Rimmer proceeds to brown-nose Capt. Hollister in hopes of receiving officer status.

After being slapped with a two-year prison sentence for committing crimes against the Space Corps, the Red Dwarfers are desperate to escape.

Lister thinks he's signing the gang up to sing in a prison choir but learns that he's enlisted them in an army of convicts used for suicide missions.

After being cornered and reprogrammed by restless, sex-starved prisoners, Kryten launches his own television station called Krytie TV.

After infecting the prison guards' basketball team with a sexual-enhancement virus, Lister and Rimmer are sent to the hole.

In an attempt to bring Pete the sparrow back to life, the Red Dwarfers inadvertently cause him to devolve into a tyrannosaur that stalks the ship.

The series concludes as a mysterious life form invades the Red Dwarf courtesy of an escape pod and starts eating away at the ship.
