“The Nation’s Favourite Uncle”, comedy titan Nick Helm, closes our series 1 discussion. A massive collection of Red Dwarf t-shirts! Watching every episode four times a day! Turning the hell of teeth straightening appointments into the heaven of Red Dwarf video shopping! That’s all stuff we talk about!

From the challenges of making two Rimmers work, to the ruination of a soup, we give “sitcom 2001” series 1 episode 6, Me2, a good going-over. Major questions are posed. Like: what is Lister without Rimmer? And: original intro or electric guitar bonanza, what’s best? Listen and learn. 

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.
