"Future Echoes" is the second episode of the science fiction sitcom Red Dwarf series one, and was first broadcast on the British television channel BBC2 on 22 February 1988. Written by co-creators Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, and directed by Ed Bye.
The episode — which has the crew witnessing events from the future as Red Dwarf breaks the light barrier — was considered to be one of the better efforts from the first series, so much so that it has been credited, by the creators, as having saved the series. The episode was re-mastered, along with the rest of the first three series, in 1998, to appeal more to international broadcasters.
