"Marooned" is the second episode of science fiction sit-com Red Dwarf Series III, and the fourteenth in the series run. It premiered on the British television channel BBC2 on 21 November 1989. Written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, and directed by Ed Bye, the story is about Lister and Rimmer being marooned together on a bleak ice planet. The episode was re-mastered, along with the rest of the first three series, in 1998.
Red Dwarf is on a collision course with five black holes and Holly (Hattie Hayridge) recommends that it's time to abandon ship. Lister (Craig Charles) and Rimmer (Chris Barrie) make their getaway in Starbug while Kryten (Robert Llewellyn) and Cat (Danny John-Jules) take Blue Midget. But as Rimmer regales Lister with tales of his military interests, (he reveals that in a previous life he was Alexander the Great's chief eunuch), Starbug is struck by a meteor and crash lands on an icy planet. In these conditions, rescuers could be ten feet away and still not find them. Food is short and warmth is non-existent. As a hologram, Rimmer would not need either, but Lister can only hope he survives until help arrives. As personal stories are swapped Rimmer sees a side of Lister he never knew existed.
