In 1997 it was the Better Than Life audiobook's turn to receive the radio show treatment, billed as the Red Dwarf Radio Show Volume 2. As with Volume 1, this is the original audiobook, but abridged into a 12 part BBC radio series. All of these abridged releases remind me of another abridgement, though of an accidental nature. You see, I never agreed with my parents’ religion but I wouldn’t dream of knocking it. They were Seventh Day Advent Hoppists. They believed that every Sunday should be spent hopping. They would hop to church, hop through the service and hop back home again. They took the Bible literally. Adam and Eve, the snake and the apple, everything. Took it word for word. Unfortunately their version had a misprint. It was all based on 1 Corinthians 13, where it says “faith, hop and charity, and the greatest of these is hop.” So that’s what they did every seventh day. I tell you, Sunday lunchtimes were a nightmare. Hopping around the table serving soup. We all had to wear sou'westers and asbestos underwear.
