[Opening shot: a starfield. Words begin to scroll into space, but
accellerate to unreadable speeds before slowing down again at the end.]

RED DWARF

THE STORY SO FAR...

BY THE LATTER HALF

OF THE TWENTY-SECOND

CENTURY, HUGE SPACE

CRUISERS POWERED BY

HYDROGEN RAM-JET

ENGINES HAD COLONIZED

THE OUTER FRINGES OF

OUR SOLOR SYSTEM.

HUMAN KIND WAS

POISED TO EXPLORE

THE DARK MYSTERIES

OF DEEP SPACE.

WE WISH WE COULD

HAVE TOLD YOU

STORIES ABOUT THESE

BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN,

BUT WE COULDN'T

AFFORD IT. INSTEAD,

WHAT YOU'RE GETTING

IS THIS.

THIS IS THE STORY OF

A BEAT-UP OLD

MINING SHIP WHICH

AMBLES BETWEEN EARTH

AND THE MOONS OF

SATURN, TRANSPORTING

RAW MATERIALS WHICH

ARE BADLY NEEDED BY

SOMEONE.

IS IT JUST ME, OR

DOES THIS SOUND

REALLY TEDIUS?...
