You’ll know comedian, actor and writer Jessica Knappett from her sitcoms Drifters and Avoidance, Taskmaster, and from The Inbetweeners Movie. Red Dwarf is a childhood favourite and her comfort watch to this day. She talks about fancying Lister in her youth, the show’s lack of pretension, and the weird day when she was cast in the revived Red Dwarf on Dave!


We take a steady aim at series 6 episode 3, the Emmy Award-winning Gunmen of the Apocalypse. But don’t worry, our guns contain no bullets. We celebrate film noir, Vindaloorians, impeccable Western comedy shenanigans – and how the show anticipates Black Mirror. Plus: find out which line from this episode became a bizarre catchphrase in Jess’ house growing up.


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.
