16 - "Bodyswap" with Tom Price

Red Dwarf changed Tom Price’s comedy DNA. The multitalented actor, radio presenter and podcaster shares his fan story - from being Talky Toaster at school, to bonding with his future wife over their shared love of the show, all the way to what happened when Tom did studio warm-up for a Dave-era Red Dwarf taping. His insights are plentiful, especially when it comes to appreciating why Chris Barrie is so fantastic as Rimmer. Turning our attention to series 3 episode 4, Bodyswap, we talk about all the good stuff - of which there’s lots. Like Chris and Craig impersonating each other. Danny’s exquisitely timed tea drop. And, of course,  the smegging crash scene. But we also consider what doesn’t quite work… and what might have made it even better… Do any of our alternate versions of the plot strike you as better than the original? Email in or let us know on social media.  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.
