                              Red Dwarf  III
                                 THE SAGA
                                CONTINUUMS
The story so far...

Three million years in the future, David Lister, the last human alive,
discovers he is pregnant after a liaison with his female self in a
parallel universe.  His pregnancy concludes with the successful birth of
twin boys, Jim and Baxley.  However, because the two were conceived in
another universe, with different physical laws, they suffer from highly
accelerated growth rates, and are both eighteen years old within 3 days of
being born.  In order to save their lives, Lister returns them to the
universe of their origin, where they are reunited with their father (a
woman), and are able to lead comparatively normal lives.  Well, as normal
as you can be if you've been born in a parallel universe and your father's
a woman and your mother's a man and you're eighteen years old three days
after your birth.  Shortly afterwards, Kryten, the service mechanoid who
left the ship after being rescued from his own crashed vessel, The Nova 5,
is found in pieces after his space bike crash lands into an astroid.
Lister rebuilds the 'noid, but is unable to recapture his former
personality. Meanwhile, Holly, the increasingly erratic Red Dwarf computer
performs a head sex change operation on himself.  He bases his new face on
Hilly, a female computer with whom he'd once fallen madly in love.

                       And now the saga continuums...

>>> LYRICS <<<

          RED DWARF THEME SONG
    It's cold outside,
    There's no kind of atmosphere
    I'm all alone, more or less
    Let me fly, far away from here
    Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun

    I want to lie, shipwrecked and comatose,
    Drinking fresh mango juice
    Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes
    Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun

    Fun, fun, fun, in the sun, sun, sun...

    But when I tried to speak to you (talk tall)
    My tongue unraveled to my knees (flippity-flippity-flop)

    I tried to say, "I love you" (love you)
    But it came out kind of wrong girl (wrong girl)
    It sounded like mi-noo-muh-dee-do (tongue-tied)
    Mil-uh-nuh-muh-nee-nung nirl
