The Lows were the crew of a Red Dwarf created by the triplicator. They exemplified all the worst qualities of the Boys from the Dwarf When the triplicator malfunctioned and made two copies of Red Dwarf, the Dwarfers had to visit the "Low" version in order to find half of the triplicator, so that they could reverse the process. Their first encounter with the Low crew was when the High Kryten was shot several times and then he and the High Cat were blown up by a grenade. Lister ran off into the cargo bays and encountered the Lows one at a time.
