This week we are delving into the science behind the classic British Sci-Fi sitcom Red Dwarf. How did Cat evolve from Lister’s pregnant domestic cat Frankenstein? What does sustainable space travel look like? Are we any closer to a holographic AI Rimmer? And what is a red dwarf anyway?

We are joined by Royal Observatory astronomer Jake Foster to discuss all things space science, including sustainable space travel, aliens and navigating in space.

Toasted tea cake anyone? Smoke me a kipper, I’ll be back for breakfast!
