Series 1-6 Roundup and Quiz

About this episode

The episode celebrates the first six series of Red Dwarf with discussions and a quiz featuring guests.

It’s time to put a bow on the first six series of Red Dwarf. So we sit down with Gemma Arrowsmith to discuss our favourite episodes from across the classic Grant-Naylor era. It’s a great big celebration of just how brilliant the show and its people are.  Then Fergus pits John against Tom Neenan and Guy Kelly in a Red Dwarf quiz that’s alright for you listening, you’ll probably think it was easy, but actually it was really tough, okay? Sigh.  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 and produced by Fergus (huge fan) and John (lapsed fan).  Huge thanks to Alex Watson for invaluable help in making this podcast a thing.  FANCY SOME LINKS?
