This Story: 2020 Special
Overall: Story 68, Episode 74
Airdate: 9 Apr 2020
Written by Doug Naylor
Directed by Doug Naylor
Notes
- Features the return of Norman Lovett as Holly.
- Contains a reference to “Backwards” from Season 3’s final joke.
- The first time we’ve properly seen any others from the Cat race since Season 1’s “Waiting For God“.
- Fans sometimes refer to this as “Series 13”, but it’s not officially labeled that, much in the same way that “Back to Earth” is not really labeled as “Series 9” either.

cat's Feral King (has Christian implications there). Holly's back here and is funny - especially in the sandstorm sequence. I do love how the cats are ultimately defeated (laser pointer). We get a new version of pic.twitter.com/h43fDaLP6s

Rimmer's hologram, now "Diamond Light". The non cat stuff is typical current era Red Dwarf jokes, which all work for me. Loved Rimmer in low power mode. This was excellent - hope it's not the last of Red Dwarf. pic.twitter.com/DdyYlgN8dx
