Things Norm is right about

Well to be fair to him the Breakfast interview wasn’t that funny.

This is gonna be a short thread.

[Pete Part Three]

I nom….

Never mind.

[Jason aka Smeg4Brains]

Well he did have the idea that Holly should be seen, not just a voice.

Was it supposed to be? It’s BBC Breakfast, not Jonathan Ross.

[locusceruleus]

He’s right about the fact that he’s not bitte….

*pisses self immediately*

Funny or not… RedDwarf on BBC Breakfast. Last time that happened was 1999… and Norm was just as miserable on that.

Yeah I know, this is a thread about how little Norm is right about. Given the rest of what Norm said I thought that was a good line.

[Mr-Stabby]

I, Lovett he was definitely right about, as he was the only one who actually loved it. Eh eh eh! I’m here all week, don’t bother trying the veal !

[Phil]

I was excited when Norm uploaded all of the I, Lovett episodes to his site, because I had been really wanting to watch them.

…then I made it about, oh, six minutes into the first one, and never bothered again.

Jesus Christ it sucked.

If Holly hadn’t been a head, and just a voice, then he/she would have still been a key crew member when they left the ship, since a voice is easier to transport than a physical entity. Therefore, Norm killed off his own character.

Double post

[locusceruleus]

I don’t know about that…what about the Holly watch? Surely they could have used that more if they’d really been desperate to keep the character.

I’ve always thought that Holly’s gradual fade-out was more due to Kryten taking over exposition duties.

[Turk Thrust]

Can Doug do it all on his own though? That is the one point in Norm`s rant that may have some validity (and one or 2 of the reviewers have said the same thing). I guess we will see tonight and over the weekend.

By the way, I actually don`t think I, Lovett is that bad at all and it is generally quite highly thought of from what I`ve read.

I remember liking I, Lovettt when it was first on. But I was only ten.

> what about the Holly watch? Surely they could have used that more if they?d really been desperate to keep the character.

This is the point in a nutshell. You could have crowbarred the character in to reel off the odd one-liner from a watch, but to what end? If it has no relevance to the story whatsoever – as you’ll see in the final show, all four main characters are vital to the unfolding story of BTE – it’s just a cameo. A cameo that you have to pay for on a budget that’s already incredibly tight.

[Mr Flibble]

I hear Norm’s no longer interested in the audience Red Dwarf used to attract.

I hear Norm’s tired of living.

It may well have gotten better than the first third of episode one, but the prospect of sitting through the rest of them based on that possibility was not an appealing one.

>and it is generally quite highly thought of

That does absolutely nothing to change my own opinion, nor should it.

I think there are special underpants to help you with that problem.

He apologised for that spot between his eyes in one of the commentaries…

My underpants are special by default.

Hungry?

[Zombie Jim Undead]

I think they might have invited him to take part in Back to Earth if he didn’t have hair like a paintbrush.

I hear they were planning a whole episode based around Holly inspecting a tea-bag found on the underside of the ship.

[Pete Part Three]

Norm didn’t get the Davros gig because he’s too bitter and twisted for the role.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

win.
