Doug on today’s ‘We Can Be Weirdos’

[Podey]

Excited to see a certain Mr Naylor on the newest ep of one of my favourite podcasts, hosted by Dan Schreiber. Guests usually talk about any weird/unexplained encounters they’ve had and go through a list of what weird stuff they believe so should be an interesting listen.

Shall report back any nuggets, or feel free to do so yourselves if you best me to listening.

Not going to be much new there for anyone with the slightest knowledge of the show’s history, but a few interesting tidbits:

..

– a clairvoyant told Doug in around 2004-2005 that there was no chance of the Red Dwarf movie happening but that it would come back as a TV series, which Doug dismissed at the time as impossible

..

– working with other writers on Red Dwarf didn’t produce the same results as working with someone like Rob because “it’s not their life, it’s just a job”.

.. 
– restates that the new special he was writing will be a novel if not a TV show.

Also interesting to hear the story of how Doug lost his leg which was new to me, but has probably been out there before.

That podcast sounds great generally, thanks!

There’s an episode with Tony Hawks (#56) that I remember being particularly entertaining, though my personal favourite is Paul Foot (#36).
