Howdy y'all

If you're not following Doug Naylor (DougRDNaylor) on Twitter you REALLY need to start doing it now. He's tweeting all over the place about 'upcoming RD news' and 'film in front of an audience or not? Vote now!' He even said to bobbyllew 'you'll be tweeting as you bloody film - "I'm about to say my next line".!'

OMGWTFBBQBYOB!

I think it's really sweet; everyone knows there are new eps coming, but he's being all secretive about it. And he cares about spelling. I want to adopt him.

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

He does strike me as very cute ^__^

I'm not a Tweeter, but you can vote twice for me on the audience thing. (I think it'd be hilarious if he's decided to do it and is gathering Tweets for the sole purpose of making CB stop resisting it, hee. But likely it's to convince producers of interest in the project?)

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Judging by his replies, it seems that the producers DON'T want an audience as it's too expensive. BTE didn't make a concious decision to not have an audience to shift the tone of the show - they simply couldnt' AFFORD an audience. I reckon he's feeling a bit torn by it....

They never seemed to have any money before, but they always had an audience :( I wish we could go back to that.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

I don't get how an audience could be expensive either, but I suppose it might be to do with costs that weren't needed 20 years ago. Some things, like security measures, are a much bigger deal these days. Which is sad, but what can you do? From what I understand, all the actors prefer an audience, and I think that's a huge argument in its favor.

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

*shrug* I really don't know. But his reply tweets to other people show that they couldn't afford an audience and they could only afford four sets! :-)

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I feel his pain; it's better with audience reaction - not because we don't know where to laugh, as is often suggested, but because the show HAS a fair amount of angst and that extra bit of laughter helps keep the mood of watching light. Besides, you can't tell me it doesn't push a performer, to get an immediate response like that; I've never had a bit of interest to go into commercial acting for a camera, but I DO enjoy performing live and have done it enough times to know the woofs matter, at least to me.

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh yes I know what you mean. I used to LOVE my theatre work years ago.... *le sigh*

It's a real shame - I felt that the audience laughter gave the show a real soul and depth. But judging by the tweets flying back and forth he's terrified of the plots being leaked before they're aired. Personally I think this would be less of an issue for an actual series, but obviously for BTE it would have really spoilt it.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you, M.M. is gonna be in it. I feel it. ;-)

[smaych.livejournal.com]

I'm excited about the new Red Dwarf, there's so much potential and even if it sucks I'll still love it because I'm just that much of a fangirl :P That being said, I hope it's really good and filmed in front of an audience and everything we want it to be :)

Do you reckon Holly will be in it?

[nadilee.livejournal.com]

norman lovett is still angry over not appearing in BTE ;___; the only option would be a new actor/or femHolly which I really wouldn't like :(

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Like nadilee said, he was very pissed off by the move not to include him in the final show. Apparently he kept faffing over the decision when they originally asked him so they made if for him - no thanks. They'll never work again methinks.

[smaych.livejournal.com]

I was actually thinking about Hattie - she's so awesome!

[laurenthemself]

I would love to see Hattie back. Norman can smeg off; the only time RD fandom has hit Fandom Wank has been because of him.

[smaych.livejournal.com]

Oh dear Norman! I love his Holly, but oh dear. I saw Hattie at DJ and she was just so totally likeable, it actually made me like her Holly even more :)

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Sad to admit it but I've got to agree with you on this one Lauren. He's far too bitter about the whole thing.

[amy-wolf.livejournal.com]

I'd quite like having Hattie back.

[fearcat.livejournal.com]

there's so much potential and even if it sucks I'll still love it because I'm just that much of a fangirl :P

I'm so with you on that... smaych :) been a fan too long now to think anything bad about the show.

4 years ago I would never have thought to slash RD lol but here I am and loving it :)

[fearcat.livejournal.com]

I just twitter him haha saiying "bring them back :) I miss them"

[kms726.livejournal.com]

If they do film in front of a live audience, I will surely drop whatever I'm doing here and jet over to be there :D

And bum around till DJ because I can't afford the flight twice...

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Ooooh are you coming to DJ m'dear? ^__^

[kms726.livejournal.com]

I was gutted when I missed the last one, and that it was postponed this year (it coincided with my birthday so it would have been so perfect!)

I've got money especially set aside for my plane ticket and have every intention to be there! On order from Mr. Charles :D

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Oh now that rocks socks. If you do come you'll have to say howdy! ^__^

[kms726.livejournal.com]

Oh, I will! I can't wait to see all my LJ friends there and meet all the cast. I highly suspect it might be the best weekend ever :)
