Series V of Red Dwarf aired between February and March 1992. It starred Chris Barrie as Arnold Rimmer, Craig Charles as Dave Lister, Danny John-Jules as the Cat, Robert Llewellyn as Kryten and Hattie Hayridge as Holly.

SummaryEdit

Horrors and delights abound, as Arnold Rimmer gains and gives everything up for love, the crew face utter erasure from history in the ultimate test of their self-worth, take a stroll through Rimmer's self-loathing sub-concious physically manifested, and later face the extent of his cruelty and the terror of his insanity (hand puppet accomplice on side), only before meeting each of their own best and worst halves and finally having who they are ultimately thrown into question. Can the crew make it through it all with themselves intact?

Background InformationEdit

• During the course of Series V, the crew encounters four different versions of themselves: the alternate Lister and Kryten from "The Inquisitor", the good and evil versions of themselves from "Demons & Angels" and the "real" versions from "Back to Reality".
• "Back to Reality" was aired as the series closer in order to keep fans guessing whether the game explanation was real or not.
• This was the last series to feature Holly and Red Dwarf itself until the finale of Series VII, and the last ever appearance of the female version played by Hattie Hayridge. Holly also later vanishes from Back to Earth onward.
