Doug Naylor tweets

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.

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?)

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?

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]

He does strike me as very cute ^__^

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....

[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.

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

[smaych.livejournal.com]

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

[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 :)

[laurenthemself]

Have you read her autobiography? It makes me cry in places, but she's got a way with words.

[smaych.livejournal.com]

No I haven't, but I'll look it up now! :)

[laurenthemself]

It's called Random Abstract Memory, if that helps.

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, you'll know Lauren but THAT bit about her mum always makes me well up :-(

[laurenthemself]

I cry every time.

[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.

[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.

[laurenthemself]

To be fair, I don't know the backstory of why he wasn't included in BTE, but it's his reaction that's made me narked at him.

[fearcat.livejournal.com]

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

[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 :)

[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.

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