Series 6 - New Year "Special" Part 4

from Better Than Life: A Red Dwarf Podcast

The final batch of listener emails in this series cover more great character moments and recasting suggestions/heresies. An important question about Starbug is answered. An important question about polymorphs and holograms is also answered. And an important question about space weevils is raised. Another listener plays detective over that Simpsons comic featuring Rimmer. And we hear lots of opinions about whether or not we should be looking forward to watching series 7 onwards. Speaking of which, fear not listener – no matter how long it takes, we’ll be back for more Better Than Life tackling series 7 and beyond!
