Filmmaker and comedian Matthew Highton remembers when Red Dwarf set the agenda for all playground conversations. And he certainly brings his A game to this chat, sharing so much of what he loves about the show - from the fantastic model work, to the endlessly entertaining relationship between Lister and Rimmer. What’s more, he gives us not one but three approaches to a fantasy re-cast. His insight into the links between comedy and horror is also on point… which leads us neatly to…


Our discussion of series 5 episode 4 - which happens to be Matt’s favourite episode! It is, as he says, a densely packed, incredible piece of work. We shine our hex vision onto so much great stuff - from very special effects, to the iconic Mr Flibble, and from amazing sci-fi ideas to beautifully crafted punchlines. Is it peak Dwarf? It may well be. We’re certainly quite, quite madly in love with Quarantine.


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.


FANCY SOME LINKS?


Check out Matt’s films on YouTube, starting with Norman Lovett’s Holly starring in Moon with Sam Rockwell!
