Sarah Mills greets us with her own version of the Red Dwarf theme tune - and it’s the perfect start to an especially bantery ep. Sarah talks about not being a sci-fi fan, yet wishing she’d come up with the concept of Red Dwarf. She shares her enduring love for a classic ep from series 4. And she has a great take on why we enjoy spending time with Rimmer, despite everything he says and does. Taking a look at series 2 episode 5, Queeg, we discuss Holly’s flat cap; horseys, bishes and prawns; and the hidden depths behind the wheeze of the week. Plus: Queeg’s literary origins, Charles Augins’ backstory… and twists within twists.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.
