Which Holly?

[Jawscvmcdia]

If Holly were to come back in the next series, which Holly would you choose? It can be any version of Holly, Queeg even.

That… was… strange. Cute, but strange. I’d expect that sort of sound from a cat than a dog. Remember that shaggy looking dog who could say “Sausages?” Heh.

Holly at his most senile…

[peas_and_corn]

Does Norm have a brother?

[hummingbird]

It would be interesting, too, to have a complete departure from the slow/senile/deadpan persona and cast for a different kind of Holly.

Chris O’Dowd would make a good Holly, I reckon.

[Plastic Percy]

Patrick Stewart? He can out-bald Norman Lovett any day.

Though I’d like Hattie back. She didn’t do too badly in ‘Ace Rimmer: A Life in Lame’

[Ben Paddon]

She was my favourite of the two Hollies in Beat The Geek.

[Anonymous]

If Norm could recover his early form then him (despite the fact he doesn’t deserve it). He’s still my favourite Holly.

If not then Hattie – she never really got the lines her loyalty to the show deserved but I still enjoy her rendering of Holly.

It not those two then don’t bring back the character. Bill Bailey is a very funny guy but I wouldn’t want him on RD.

Why?

Because if I see Hattie on RD I think, “Oh look, it’s Holly.”

If I see Norm on RD I think, “Oh look, it’s Holly.”

If I were to see Bill Bailey on RD I’d think, “Oh look, it’s Bill Bailey’s head.”

But I’m clearly in the minority.

Sometimes on this site people sound so sincere…when they must surely be being sarcastic.

[Jawscvmcdia]

No I agree with you

[thomasaevans]

Hattie. Or Doug Naylor.

[NoFro]

Not Bill Bailey. Funny guy but find I would just think of him as Bill Bailey, not Holly.

I’m going for Hattie.

[Nakrophile]

Yeah, Hattie.

I just did a bit of sick in my mouth.

[Ian Symes]

Having Boris Johnson in Red Dwarf would be a sacrifice I’d be willing to make if it meant he wasn’t Mayor of London any more.

[Zombie Jim Undead]

Looks like Dave are asking the same question!

Hattie please

[Nakrophile]

The comments in that article, while speculation one would assume, do seem to hint towards another series. And Robert’s Radio 5 comments hint further that, we could be on a course set to successville.

[Kris Carter]

The further thought occurs, we haven’t budged a smegging inch.

A puerile nob gag just popped into my head.

I’ll keep it to myself.

I’m not sure French filmstar lookalikes would work for Holly anyway.

Norman or failing that, Ross Kemp.

It’s what Norm actually looks like these days. The hatred and bile are causing him to flake.

[Danny Stephenson]

Like the dude on Knightmare.

Or Mumm-Ra.

[Jawscvmcdia]

Doesn’t Norm have the IQ of 6,000 PE teachers?

Charlie Brown.

If Hattie were to return, they should shoot the front and the back of her head at the same time, then layer the front of her head onto the back – that way you’d see her hair hanging down behind her head, and she’d actually look like a floating head – with two strands on either side it looks a little bit dodgy.

[si]

Norm’s only got two strands on top of his head, that doesn’t look much better.

[Jawscvmcdia]

No it’s a bloody paintbrush

[Stabbim the Skutter]

Call me insane, but I’ve been watching a lot of Scrubs recently and I think Sarah Chalke would make a great Holly. If Red Dwarf ever got remade for USA again (Heaven forbid) she’d make a great stand-in for Hattie any day.

John Hoare

[peas_and_corn]

>Call me insane

You’re insane.

I don’t think she would work as a Holly, TBH.

[Carlito]

Seconded. Not to say she isn’t a talented comedy performer (because she is… hmmm, or should I say “was” considering her character has become a lot more annoying than funny over the last 2/3 years?) but she’s not really right for Holly.

[Ben Paddon]

But her hair is the right length for a computer…
