Doug Naylor is the co-creator of the long-running, hugely successful sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, having written or co-written every single episode! Doug was also the Head Writer and Script Editor on the original Spitting Image, has written a number of award-winning radio shows and is a best-selling author.
In this episode we dig into all things Red Dwarf, from the creation of the show with Rob Grant, the show’s continued success while retaining an outsider status, UKTV's recent cancellation of a TV film and what the future may hold... We also talk about writing his incredible first children's novel, Sin Bin Island which I highly recommend!
