Today's event is a special one. All the cast of the hugely popular series Red Dwarf are here today at IB Stores. To inform those of you not familiar with the show, here's the basic plot!
On board the mining ship Red Dwarf, the slovenly and lazy Third Technician Dave Lister is sentenced to eighteen months in stasis for smuggling an unquarrantined cat on board.
Three million years later, he is revived to discover he is the sole surviving crew member on board the ship following a nuclear disaster, and he is very probably the last human being alive in the universe. But he is not alone. Also on board is HOLLY, the senile computer powering the ship; an intangible hologrammatic version of Second Technician Arnold Rimmer, his pompous and cowardly immediate superior; The Cat, a humanoid evolved from Lister's pet cat; and Kryten, a neurotic android.
And so this motley crew goes where no one has gone before, in search of adventure, women, and a really good vindaloo...
The nine-strong cast are obviously happy to be together again, and we have real problems getting them all to look to camera! They are joined by Ruby Waxes's husband, writer and producer Ed Bye.
The event is from 4.00pm - 7.00pm but doesn't finish until 9.00pm due to the hundreds of fans that turn out to see them.
