	"Part One" begins on ''Red Dwarf'', nine years after the events of [[List of Red Dwarf episodes#Series VIII (1999)\|Series VIII]]. [[Kristine Kochanski\|Kochanski]] ([[Chloë Annett]]) is apparently dead, and [[Holly (Red Dwarf)\|Holly]] is out of commission because [[Dave Lister\|Lister]] ([[Craig Charles]]) ~~left~~ a ~~bath running in the officers' quarters for nearly nine years~~ and the Skutters ~~still~~ ~~have not finished~~ drying him out. The original hologram Rimmer has re-joined the crew after temporarily leaving to become the new Ace Rimmer in Series VII, ~~with~~ no explanation of what became of the Series VIII human Rimmer.		"Part One" begins on ''Red Dwarf'', nine years after the events of [[List of Red Dwarf episodes#Series VIII (1999)\|Series VIII]]. [[Kristine Kochanski\|Kochanski]] ([[Chloë Annett]]) is apparently dead, and [[Holly (Red Dwarf)\|Holly]] is out of commission because [[Dave Lister\|Lister]] ([[Craig Charles]]) caused a flood and the Skutters are busy drying him out. The original hologram Rimmer has re-joined the crew after temporarily leaving to become the new Ace Rimmer in Series VII; there is no explanation of what became of the Series VIII human Rimmer.

	The crew ~~have~~ ~~noted~~ water supplies are low, and discover ~~the cause—a~~ giant squid in ~~their~~ water ~~tank—after~~ they go to investigate. After they ~~barely~~ escape from the encounter ~~with their lives~~, the squid ~~proceeds to vanish~~, and [[Katerina Bartikovsky]] ([[Sophie Winkleman]]), a former ''Red Dwarf'' science officer, materialises. Informing [[Arnold Rimmer\|Rimmer]] ([[Chris Barrie]]) he is to be switched off in twenty-four hours, she uses the ship's equipment to analyse the leviathan's DNA and manages to turn a mining laser into a dimension cutter, in the hope of opening up a portal so that Lister can find a mate and restart the human race.		The crew note that water supplies are low, and discover a giant squid in the water tank when they go to investigate. After they escape from the encounter, the squid disappears, and [[Katerina Bartikovsky]] ([[Sophie Winkleman]]), a former ''Red Dwarf'' science officer, materialises. Informing [[Arnold Rimmer\|Rimmer]] ([[Chris Barrie]]) that he is to be switched off in twenty-four hours, she uses the ship's equipment to analyse the leviathan's DNA and manages to turn a mining laser into a dimension cutter, in the hope of opening up a portal so that Lister can find a mate and restart the human race.

	"Part Two" begins with the discovery that the ''Red Dwarf'' crew inhabit an "invalid dimension". Zeroing in on the nearest valid reality, the portal sucks the crew to Earth in 2009, only to find that in this world, their adventures have been turned into a fictional television show called ''Red Dwarf''. As a result of the discovery they quickly accept that they themselves are merely fictional characters, and find a [[Digital Video Disk\|DVD]] of the "Back to Earth" special. ~~They are alarmed~~ to discover that they are to die at the end of the final ~~part.~~ ~~They~~ resolve to track down their creators and plead for more life. While on a bus, Lister meets two kids who are fans of the show and who reassure him that, despite all of his faults, he is a heroic and cool character to them. ~~They also share a~~ theory about Kochanski's fate - since Kryten was the only person who actually witnessed her supposed 'death', it seems likely that Kochanski simply tired of Lister and left ''Red Dwarf'', with Kryten ~~telling Lister she had died~~ to spare ~~his~~ feelings. ~~Lister~~ ~~later~~ ~~confronts~~ ~~Kryten~~ ~~about~~ ~~this~~ ~~and Kryten~~ admits that the children ~~are~~ correct. Bartikovsky informs Rimmer that it is not wrong to kill a hologram, so he pushes her under a bus.		"Part Two" begins with the discovery that the ''Red Dwarf'' crew inhabit an "invalid dimension".

While on a bus, Lister meets two kids who are fans of the show and who reassure him that, despite all of his faults, he is a heroic and cool character to them. Their theory about Kochanski's fate is that, since Kryten was the only person who actually witnessed her supposed 'death', it seems likely that Kochanski simply tired of Lister and left ''Red Dwarf'', with Kryten trying to spare Lister's feelings by claiming she had died. Kryten later admits that the children were correct. Bartikovsky informs Rimmer that it is not wrong to kill a hologram, so he pushes her under a bus.

	In "Part Three", the crew track down actor [[Craig Charles]] on the set of ''[[Coronation Street]]'' and ask him to reveal the location of their creator. After they locate him, the Creator ([[Richard O'Callaghan]]) reveals that he intends to kill off the crew~~, having tired of them~~, but he is himself killed by a now-keen-to-remain-alive Lister. Shortly afterwards, the crew discover that they are in a shared hallucination caused by a female relative of the [[Back to Reality (Red Dwarf)\|despair squid]] that uses joy, rather than despair, to subdue victims. Kochanski appears before Lister, tempting him to remain behind, but having discovered ''his'' Kochanski may still be alive in his own reality, he chooses to wake up and return with the others. As the crew head back to their sleeping quarters, [[Cat (Red Dwarf)\|Cat]] ([[Danny John-Jules]]) admits that he brought the female despair squid to ''Red Dwarf'' with the intention of eating it, and they reflect on the ridiculous idea that anyone could consider them fictional characters.

	Dave started a viral marketing campaign in March 2009, when listerscominghome.co.uk was introduced to the public. The site shows a postcard, and reveals minor details of the series to the viewer. Dave also released several videos on their site, including a mock-advertisement for the "Carbug", a modified [[Smart Fortwo]] to fit the shape and style of Starbug. On-set videos also were released, along with short teasers (under ten seconds), with some 30-second teasers as well. Cast members have also written for the Dave blog, releasing small bits of information about the shows. The viral campaign went on to win a Broadcast Digital Award for Best Use of Digital Technology.<ref>{{cite web\|url=http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2010/06/18/red-dwarf-wins-broadcast-award/ \|title=Red Dwarf Wins Broadcast Award \|publisher= Official Red Dwarf Website \|date=18 June 2010 \|access-date=12 September 2010}}</ref>		Dave started a viral marketing campaign in March 2009, when listerscominghome.co.uk was introduced to the public.

	''Back to Earth'' was released on DVD on 15 June 2009. The cover of the DVD is a replica of the one featured in part two of the specials, with a few cosmetic changes, such as replacing "Coming Soon" with "[[Director's cut\|Director's Cut]]" and the addition of the plot synopsis read by Lister, which was absent on the prop.<ref>{{cite web\|author=Red Dwarf: Back to Earth \|url=http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/news/2009/05/15/back-to-earth-dvd-cover-art/ \|title=Back To Earth DVD Cover Art \|publisher=Red Dwarf \|date=24 April 2009\|access-date=17 May 2009}}</ref> There are two methods of viewing the specials, the broadcast episodes as shown on Dave, and a new "Director's cut" in which all three episodes have been edited together into a single feature length programme, with a few lines of dialogue trimmed, such as Rimmer's bemoaning it being a three-parter, but no extra scenes or dialogue were added with the exception of "The End" being typed on a typewriter following extended end credits.
