Churchill is Prime Minister for the last time. Rationing is still in force. All music sounds like the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. People like living in 1952: it's familiar and reassuring, and Britain knows its place in the world. Few have noticed it's been 1952 for the past 65 years. Meet Professor Quanderhorn; a brilliant, maverick scientific genius who has absolutely no moral compass. With his Dangerous Giant Space Laser, High Rise Farm, Invisible Robot and Fleet of Monkey-driven Lorries, he's not afraid to push the boundaries of science to their very limit. Even when it's clearly insane to keep pushing. Despite the fact he's saved the world from several Martian invasions, the attacks of the Mole People, the Troglodyte Shape-shifters and the Beatniks from Under the Sea, plus countless other sinister phenomena which threatened to rend the very fabric of reality, the Government would like to close him down. Why? Because they're terrified of him. Of his reality-warping experiments, of the mysterious button on his desk which he's constantly threatening to press. Of the unearthly secret locked in his cellar. And yet they're even more terrified it might stop being 1952 and they'll be out of power
Before the beginning. Before the accident that wipes out the crew, the mining ship Red Dwarf is in orbit around Titan, and the crew is heading down for shore leave, all with different intentions A strangely reluctant hen party; a terminally-boring cultural Odyssey; a marathon drinking and fighting binge; and an invigoratingly violent Shore Patrol. But menial chicken soup machine repairmen Dave Lister and Arnold Rimmer have slightly less noble ambitions. Rimmer wants illicit exam-cheating tech, to land a much-lusted-for promotion, and Lister plans to acquire a cat as part of a nefarious scheme to return to Earth. But mainly they just want to get as far away from each other as possible. However, their objectives are scuppered somewhat unexpectedly when they receive a cryptic message. A message from the future. The two feuding crewmen are catapulted into a breakneck race to save not only this but every other Reality. Along the way they'll find themselves united again, for the first time, with some new but somehow old friends, as they embark on a labyrinthian quest through the most dangerous underbelly of humankind's furthest outpost, where bizarre dangers and one mysterious hidden nemesis with an obscure, yet clearly lethal agenda, lurk. So strap yourself in – the Dwarfers are taking on TITAN.

Sir George Scott was an unsung Victorian adventurer who hacked, bullied and charmed his way through uncharted jungle to help establish British colonial rule in Burma. Born in Scotland in 1851, Scott was a die-hard imperialist with a fondness for gargantuan pith-helmets and a bluffness of expression that bordered on the Pythonesque. Stepped on something soft and wobbly, he records in his bush diary one dark night. Struck a match, found it was a dead Chinaman.
