Rob Grant (1955–2026): Shipwrecked & Comatose Reacts to the Loss of a Red Dwarf Legend Host Kurt North is joined by Matt Laham and Colin Jackson Brown for an emergency episode of Shipwrecked & Comatose following news that Rob Grant has died aged 70.

The conversation reflects on Grant’s career from Spitting Image (including the chart-topping “Chicken Song”) to co-creating Red Dwarf with Doug Naylor, and his novels, including Grant Naylor books and solo work such as Incompetence and Backwards. They also talk about the recently announced prequel novel Red Dwarf: Titan, hoping it is finished, and share personal stories about Red Dwarf’s multi-generational impact and influence on their friendships and humour, before closing with condolences to Grant’s family and friends. 00:00 Tribute to Rob Grant 01:20 Hosts and Guests Introduced 01:41 Breaking News Confirmation 03:51 Red Dwarf Titan Prequel 05:51 Colin on Personal Legacy 10:09 Craig Charles Tribute Quote 13:20 Matt on Red Dwarf Memories 18:15 Rob Grant Early Career 19:17 Spitting Image and Chicken Song 21:33 Other Works and Titan Hopes 22:18 Final Thanks and Sign Off   Host: Kurt North Co-Host: Colin Jackson Brown & Matt Latham Editor: Kurt North   BlueSky/Insta: @RedDwarfPod Our network on BlueSky: @filmstories Our network on Insta: @filmstoriesmagazineuk   Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to SHIPWRECKED & COMATOSE, an in-depth podcast dedicated to the classic BBC science-fiction sitcom, Red Dwarf. After finishing out coverage of The Promised Land, we're nearly out of 'proper' Red Dwarf content now! There's a few specials and DVD extras that we're going to look at in 2026, but we've covered all the episodes of the show now! As such, we're going to embrace our love of specials covering weird and wonderful stuff peripheral to our favourite sci-fi sitcom!   Welcome to our look at Zombie Apache. Released in November 2025, this counts as 'new' stuff to look at as it features Craig Charles as a main character. Mark welcomes Carl and returning guest Rob Yeomans (from the Cinemortuary podcast) to have a chat about this low budget indie film that's a fun little B Movie but features fewer zombies and apaches than expected.   Host: Mark Adams Co-Host: Carl Bryan Guest: Rob Yeomans Editor: Mark Adams   BlueSky/Insta: @RedDwarfPod Our network on BlueSky: @filmstories Our network on Insta: @filmstoriesmagazineuk Learn more about your ad choices.
