Ep 15 - POLYMORPHIt’s our first ever two guest spectacular! Musical comedy virtuoso Kirsty Newton and phenomenal standup Nick Doody are joyful company as they share their love of Red Dwarf - from the mighty theme tune’s spacey vibes, to taking comfort in the company of misfits. You’ll find out which one of them has a groinal socket. And Kirsty and Nick’s individual links to Rob Grant will have you asking: what’s your RD Number? Tackling the chaotic brilliance of series 3 episode 3, Polymorph, head-on, we talk blatant Alien references, ponder the mutant’s knowledge of 1980s household objects, and mull quite how much chilli powder there is onboard the Dwarf. Plus: Stupidity! Special effects! Sad home movies! And much more. Trigger warning: this episode of the podcast contains way too many fish puns and most of them are genuinely awful. On reflection, we probably should have cut them trout in the edit. 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.
