573 - HUMAN

The Red DwArf mining spaceship cruised through the Universe until a radiation leak occurred as a result of which Arnold Rimmer became an unman - a computer generated hologram. David Lister survives the radiation leak since he was in stasis at the time for punishment. But because of the leak he doesn't emerge until 3,000,000 years later, by which time all his plans for the future are impossible to achieve. He is the only human on board, although the cat he'd smuggled on board had evolved into a human-like being. David, Arnold and a robot called Kryton are left attending to minor tasks on the spaceship.
