Welcome to the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. Guy Kelly is our wonderfully warm and witty guest for series 1 episode 1, The End. You’ll find out why he was terrified the first time he watched Red Dwarf. Where the stains on his novelisations come from. And how it feels to gig with Norman Lovett.
We cover all the important stuff – from the drabness of the future, to Cat’s muted trumpets, the acting instincts of an inexperienced Craig Charles, and aliens versus accountability. Plus: the utterly perfect ways in which Rimmer is such a smeghead.
With a fresh guest every ep, Better Than Life is 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.
