SERIES 6 (Season VI) - First broadcast 1993

1. Psirens

While trying to search for Red Dwarf, the crew encounter a large number of space ships floating in space. They want to find out what brought them down, so they watch a black box recording from one of the ships. They see a man being eaten alive by a creature called a 'Psiren.' When Red Dwarf crashes onto a planet and Lister has to unlodge the ship from rocks, the crew end up being subjected to a nightmare with the creatures!

Best Quote: The crew are trying to decide which is Lister, because they know one has to be the psiren.

Rimmer - "Play the guitar."
Lister - "Here? Inside?"
Rimmer -"Play it."
[The first Lister belts out a brilliant tune on the electric guitar. The crew shoot him with the bazookoids.]
Lister - "How did you know that wasn't me?"
Cat - "Cos that dude could play!"

First broadcast: 7th Oct 1993


2. Legion

A un-identified space object beams Red Dwarf into it's path and when they get on board there seems to be no life forms around. That is, until, Legion suddenly appears. He seems to want only the best for the crew, and makes sure they get everything they ever desired. Soon, the Dwarfers start to wonder why he is so keen to please. Of course, only Kryten guessed that he was made up of each different part of their personalities.

Best Quote: Lister reads a magazine while chomping on some grilled space weevil!

Lister - "Some smegger's filled in this 'Have You Got A Good Memory' quiz."
Kryten - "But that was you, sir. Last week. Don't you remember?"
Lister - "Was it?"
Kryten - "Hmm. Look: Nobody else spells "Thursday" with an "F".

First broadcast: 14th Oct 1993


3. Gunmen of the Apocalypse

When a simulant ship puts a virus in Red Dwarf's computers, Kryten decides to contract the virus himself to find a cure. As the rest of the crew watch his dreams, his mind seems to have been turned the virus into some sort of Western film. Kryten is the sheriff in a town, but is told to leave by his enemies. Lister, Cat and Rimmer decide to use the Artificial Reality machine to go into Kryten's dreams and help him. Of course, they do have to remind him of why he's there when they get there!

Best Quote: When Kryten appears to be losing the battle against the virus, the crew wonder what they can do to help.

Cat - "Isn't there some way we can get in there and help him? Somehow turn ourselves into tiny electronic people and get into his dream? Isn't there some sort of gizmo lying around someplace that can do that? And if not (punches hand) why not?!"
Rimmer - "Look, I think we've all got something we can bring to this discussion. But I think from now on the thing you should bring is silence."

First broadcast: 21st Oct 1993


4. Emohawk - Polymorph 2

When Red Dwarf crashes into a Gelf zone, and they need new engine parts, they have no alternative but to go out and brave the fearsome and ugly "Kinitawowi" tribe. They do manage to bargain enough to enter their camp, but unfortunately it seems they're going to have to sell a little bit more for the OG unit they need....

Best Quote: Kryten realises that very little survived Starbug's crash.

Kryten - "Well, at least Mr Lister's guitar survived intact."
[The Cat takes it from him and smashes it on the floor.]
Kryten - "Not even Mr Lister's guitar survived intact."

First broadcast: 28th Oct 1993


5. Rimmerworld

When the Dwarfers discover the crashed Simulant ship that they destroyed, they decide to go on board and recover some of their food supplies. Unfortunately, when they get there, a dying female simulant jumps out on them with a bazookoid gun. Rimmer has the chance to save the crew, but instead chooses to save his own life and takes the escape pod. He ends up stranded on a planet for 600 years and in that time recreates a whole population of Rimmers!

Best Quote: Lister trying to talk the Simulant round.

Lister - "Actually, as far as psychotically deranged ruthless killer simulants go, you're a bit of a babe! What are you doing tonight?
Simulant - "Dying! Care to join me?"

First broadcast: 4th Nov 1993


6. Out Of Time

When Red Dwarf receives a signal from another ship, they discover that it's their future selves. Kryten tells the crew that they should not reply in case something awful has happened to them later on. Eventually, he invites them on board himself and talks to them. Later, it's proved that it wasn't a good idea because they threaten to slay their younger selves. Strangely, it ends up to be only Rimmer who can save the day....

Best Quote: After going through an un-reality pocket, the crew believe Lister to be a mechanoid.

Cat - "This is gonna crack him up. Devastate him. Who's gonna tell him?"
Rimmer - "I'll write you into my will if you let it be me!"

First broadcast: 11th Oct 1993
