2 - 'Future Echoes' with Bec Hill

Bec Hill shares her Red Dwarf journey: Manipulating the public library system to get hold of box sets. Reviving Duane Dibbley as a paper puppet. And doing stand-up comedy with her time travelling future self. That’s dedication. 

We cover all the important stuff about series 1 episode 2, ‘Future Echoes’, including: Kids’ spongy brains and the Theory of Relativity. Low-tech backstage shenanigans. Why unloved PE teachers should move to Australia. Plus, of course, hopelessness.
