Hear From Rob And Doug

Grant and Naylor speak! (Separately.)

24 September, 2010

Doug Naylor has joined Twitter! Red Dwarf's co-creator has finally succumbed to the social networking du jour and can be found posting as @DougRDNaylor. Click your follow buttons now!

Will we be getting insights into future projects? Surprising revelations about the dining habits of cast members? Or will he be tweeting a brand new comedy script 140 characters at a time? Time will tell... but to be honest I'm hoping for that last one. That'd be awesome.

Also on Twitter you can find the following Dwarfy people:

And speaking of Rob Grant, the other co-creator of Red Dwarf has recorded an interview for the mysterious IVIEWME. The videos are on YouTube, but also handily embedded below for your viewing pleasure. There's some proper new and unheard stuff in there, including what Rob used to get up to with a tape recorder and how he aspired to be Salford's very own local Spider-Man...
