Bec Hill shares her Red Dwarf journey: Manipulating the public library system to get hold of box sets. Reviving Duane Dibbley as a paper puppet. And doing stand-up comedy with her time travelling future self. That’s dedication. 

We cover all the important stuff about series 1 episode 2, ‘Future Echoes’, including: Kids’ spongy brains and the Theory of Relativity. Low-tech backstage shenanigans. Why unloved PE teachers should move to Australia. Plus, of course, hopelessness. 

SO WHAT IS IT?

Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. With a fresh guest every ep, we’re your perfect podcast companion for a first watch or a rewatch. Be warned: spoilers!
