    I met Norman Lovett a few years ago, he told me a tale of how the “Everybody’s dead Dave” was the only line given to him for his audition, everything else was improv with Craig. They were so impressed that not only did he get the job but they wrote the improvised audition into the first script.
    I will also add, his live show ‘Bags and Biscuits’ was brilliant. And I still have the signed DVD

    I think the sweetest thing about the Red Dwarf 'tongue tied' segement, is the guys admitting on the DVD cast commentary for that episode, that it was an absolute mare to film. And that they didn't enjoy it at all.
    You could probably make a Red Dwarf top 10 moments just out of Kryten's ripostes back at Rimmer during the show's run. I'm partial to the 'Captain Bollocks' line myself.

    As a Gen X American woman; Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Joanna Lumley and Julia Sawala are the height of awesomeness. I’m not forgetting about June. Absolutely fabulous was really a show that spoke to me because I felt like saffron because my mother was very much like Eddie. I like the young ones and I’ve never seen red dwarf. I love the British original version of the office, and the British version of ghosts. All of which have made their way over to America and I do appreciate a good number of of only British shows. Jennifer Saunders is a God in my eyes.❤
