This is an SOS distress call from the mining ship /Red Dwarf/.
The only crew:
- Dave Lister, half-curry, half-chutney: he woke hung over for nine

- a hologram of his 'eunuch' bunkmate, ninny Arnold Judas Rimmer
- a hip cat-descended creature ('Ow! Shiny!')
- Nude Nuns pinups.
I'm Holly, the computer.
The guys found an urgent fuel leak. It was Dave's feet (fungus and lint gunk).
Earth's millions of years away, Europe may not exist, but we still get

Message ends.
