36 - "Out Of Time" with Gemma Arrowsmith

To close out the Grant-Naylor era of Red Dwarf, the genius Gemma Arrowsmith returns. We explore why these glory days came to an end, and ponder if the show’s creators could ever return. Gemma will be back in a near-future episode to give an overview of the first six series of Britain’s best loved sci-fi sitcom – because this week, we’ve got more than enough to explore!It turns out we can fill a whole episode rabbiting about series 6 episode 6, Out of Time. Gemma is a fount of knowledge about the production and troubled genesis of this strangest of episodes. And, as you’d expect if you’ve heard her previous appearance (Thanks For The Memory) she is full of fascinating insights into the themes and craft behind this epic series finale. 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?Go to gemmaarrowsmith.com for all your Gemma Arrowsmith links and info. Follow @mmaarrow on Instagram and/or Bluesky.WHAT DO YOU THINK?Have a word on our socials: X/Instagram/Facebook - @itsBTLpodEMAIL USWe’d love to ask your questions on the pod – and to hear your feedback.
