Andrew O’Neill knows the exact date they got into Red Dwarf, telling us “it was exactly ‘me’ flavoured”. Surely we can all relate? And, refreshingly, they’re a proper fan of the Dave era episodes! Andrew is very insightful on why the show is perfect for young people… and metalheads.
Series 4 episode 5, Dimension Jump, raises some interesting questions. Listener, would you like your own “Ace” if you met them? What are the moments in our lives when possible versions of ourselves diverge? And how self-aware do you think Rimmer is? We also chat about Chris Barrie’s charismatic transformation, the “Grant Naylor look”, taramasalata vs hummus, in-flight magazines, and kippers.
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!
Hosted by Fergus (huge fan) and John (lapsed fan).
Production, artwork and insights by Alex Watson.
