Red Dwarf

Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers

De: Rob Grant, Doug Naylor

Narrado por: Chris Barrie

When Lister got drunk, he really got drunk!

After celebrating his birthday with a Monopoly-board pub crawl around London, he came to in a burger bar on one of Saturns moons, wearing a lady's pink crimplene hat and a pair of yellow fishing waders, with no money and a passport in the name of "Emily Berkenstein".

Joining the Space Corps seemed a good idea. Red Dwarf, a clapped out spaceship, was bound for Earth. It never made it, leaving Lister as the last remaining member of the human race, three million light years from Earth, with only a dead man, a senile computer, and a highly evolved cat for company.

They begin their journey home. On the way, they'll break the light barrier. They'll meet Einstein, Archimedes, God, and Norman Wisdom...and discover an alternative plane of reality.

A Must Listen for Dwarfers

What was one of the most memorable moments of Red Dwarf?

Getting to here just how Lister ended up joining the Red Dwarf crew.

Which character – as performed by Chris Barrie – was your favorite?

All of them! Especially Lister and Holly.

Chris Barrie is amazing

It feels like the whole crew is there, reading their parts. Chris Barrie is such an amazing impressionist it's hard to tell sometimes. The story is fun and familiar to any Red Dwarf fan, but along with the new content and extensions to well known scenes, makes this a fresh experience for even the most devoted Red Dwarf viewers. Plus, even if you know nothing of the series, or it's been years since you viewed it, the book does such a good job introducing the Red Dwarf universe to the listener, you don't need to know everything, or anything, about the story to enjoy the book.

Highly recommended.

Brilliantly British and Brilliantly funny!

Wodehouse meets Asimov! Up there with the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy. I hadn''t seen the episodes and I started of with the novel. Enjoyed it thoroughly. The narration is superlative and makes the book all the more fun.

Love it!

I truly loved this, but was a little disappointed that it's basically all straight from the TV show. I thought it would be an original story. Nevertheless, it's delightful and Chris Barrie is a great narrator.

Chris Barrie brings this classic comedy to life.

If you could sum up Red Dwarf in three words, what would they be?

Slime comin' home.

What did you like best about this story?

Chis Barrie's narration.

What does Chris Barrie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If you're a Red Dwarf fan you will absolutely love how Chris Barrie brings each character's voice to life in the story. You might think that's Craig Charles stopping by to work with Chris, but it's all just a one man show. Incredibly entertaining and worthwhile.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Smegs in space. (It is a show.) :)

Any additional comments?

You won't regret buying this, even if you've already read the book.
