"Confidence and Paranoia" is the fifth episode from series one of the science fiction sitcom Red Dwarf.[1] It was first broadcast on the British television channel BBC2 on 14 March 1988.[2] The plot involves Lister's mutated pneumonia which manifests solid hallucinations.
Written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, and directed by Ed Bye,[3] the episode was originally going to be broadcast as the series cliffhanger but was moved down in the broadcast schedule with a new series finale taking its place.[4] Considered to be one of the weaker efforts from the first series,[5] the episode was re-mastered, along with the rest of the first three series, in 1998, to bring the episode up to a standard suitable for international broadcast.[6]
