Podcast appearances and mentions of Norman Lovett

Filmmaker and comedian Matthew Highton remembers when Red Dwarf set the agenda for all playground conversations. And he certainly brings his A game to this chat, sharing so much of what he loves about the show - from the fantastic model work, to the endlessly entertaining relationship between Lister and Rimmer. What's more, he gives us not one but three approaches to a fantasy re-cast. His insight into the links between comedy and horror is also on point… which leads us neatly to…Our discussion of series 5 episode 4 - which happens to be Matt's favourite episode! It is, as he says, a densely packed, incredible piece of work. We shine our hex vision onto so much great stuff - from very special effects, to the iconic Mr Flibble, and from amazing sci-fi ideas to beautifully crafted punchlines. Is it peak Dwarf? It may well be. We're certainly quite, quite madly in love with Quarantine. SO WHAT IS IT?Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. With a fresh guest every ep, we're your perfect podcast companion for a first watch or a rewatch. Be warned: spoilers! Hosted by Fergus (huge fan) and John (lapsed fan).

Human hurricane John Robertson talks about inspiring some of Norman Lovett's standup, having a Twitter misunderstanding with Robert Llewelyn, Hattie Hayridge's s**t stirring mate, and an embarrassing encounter with Chris Barrie.As we immerse ourselves in series 2 episode 2, the creator of live action videogame The Dark Room tells us why he would be sure to have a good time in Better Than Life. We explore Cat's problem with Marilyn Monroe. And we consider how this ep's namesake novel raises the stakes.

Comedian, musician and podcaster Matt Blair joins us to chat about continuity (or lack thereof) in Red Dwarf, being hooked as a kid by its naughtiness… and what it was like when Matt shared a flat with Norman Lovett. Our amateur psychoanalysis of Rimmer continues, and we return to the burning question: is Lister cool?Chewing over series 1 episode 5, Confidence and Paranoia, we cover all the essentials. Like how it is “pure Star Trek”, how long it takes for the plot to kick in, and how well the special effects stand up today.

Welcome to the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time. Guy Kelly is our wonderfully warm and witty guest for series 1 episode 1, The End. You'll find out why he was terrified the first time he watched Red Dwarf. Where the stains on his novelisations come from. And how it feels to gig with Norman Lovett. We cover all the important stuff – from the drabness of the future, to Cat's muted trumpets, the acting instincts of an inexperienced Craig Charles, and aliens versus accountability. Plus: the utterly perfect ways in which Rimmer is such a smeghead. With a fresh guest every ep, Better Than Life is your perfect podcast companion for a first watch or a rewatch. Be warned: spoilers!

Glyn & David talk to The Fast Show's Simon Day and Red Dwarf's Norman Lovett. Hosted by Doggett & Ephgrave. Recorded live at Mostly Comedy on 9th December 2021.

If you're reading this then there's a decent chance that at some point in your childhood or early adulthood you sat down on a Friday night and enjoyed the feast of mechanical violence that was Robot Wars. For older Millennials and young Gen Xers watching this show went hand in hand with being a Red Dwarf fan, not least because the host was, from series 2 onwards, Craig Charles himself. And it's for that reason Robot Wars qualifies for our series of 'Dwarf-adjacent' commentaries as we seize with both hands the opportunity to talk at length about a show very dear to our hearts for... quite a long time.Show notes Christopher Wickham's Ludicrously Niche blog posts on Robot Wars. Robot Wars Series 1 trailer, featuring Norman Lovett. Cheesoid hate self. Cheesoid kill self. Yes, there was a Robot Wars Celebrity Special in which Vic Reeves operated Diotoir, and yes it's on YouTube. Ant from Behemoth has a little strop. That time Jeremy Clarkson was nearly decapitated. Craig's other '90s technology-based game show gets the G&TV treatment. Every Craig Charles outro poem, Part 1. Aaaaaand, here's Part 2.

Third Technician David Lister, lowest-ranking member of the Jupiter Mining Corporation vessel Red Dwarf has awaken from stasis millions of years after everyone else onboard was killed due to a radiation leak from an improperly sealed drive plate. Now possibly the last human in existence, Lister must make his way back to Earth aboard this ghost ship with only Holly, the ship's computer, a life form evolved from Lister's pet cat, and a hologram of Second Technician Arnold Rimmer (who was responsible for killing everyone onboard) to keep him sane on his journey back home. Did we mention this is a comedy? Vinnk and Sean reminisce about the first two series of this seminal classic of science fiction, honed with that gormless wit the British do so well. Starring: * Chris Barrie - Rimmer (Smeghead) * Craig Charles - Lister * Danny John-Jules - Cat * Norman Lovett - Holly * Mac Macdonald - Captain Hollister * Clare Grogan - Christine Kochanski * Mark Williams - Peterson Available on BritBox and Amazon Prime Video.

Phil Micallef, Englishman in Prague, keeps it local this week as he speaks to Kristýna Haklová, a Czech stand-up comedian and founder and owner of the comedy promotions brand Velvet Comedy.  She discussed all the key Czech-related issues, such as what Czechs really think of foreigners, what foreigners really think of Czechs, what everyday life was like for her older relatives under Communism, Bill Clinton and former Czech president Václav Havel’s beer-fuelled 90’s bromance and, most importantly, why the age-old stereotypical cliché of Czechs being terrible at customer service, while not strictly being untrue, is certainly unfair!  Kristýna’s 6-month old kitten, Archie, also dropped in (literally, onto the audio recorder) to say „Ahoj!” (yes non-Czechs – that really is how the Czechs use speech marks – mad innit!). Kristýna grew up in the town of Beroun, just to the west of Prague, and has also lived in New Zealand for a couple of years.  As founder, owner, and all-round empress of Velvet Comedy, she has put on many a wonderful comedy show in Prague and other parts of the Czech Republic over the last few years, featuring well-known touring comedians, such as Judah Friedlander, Todd Barry and Norman Lovett, to name just a few.  She also works tirelessly to give opportunities for skill-honing to local Prague-based comedians, such as everyone else who has been on this podcast so far, including me (sorry, I lapsed into the more familiar first person there – Phil will now quietly slip back to the more professional-looking third person form).   Follow Velvet Comedy on Facebook and Instagram for more details about all the wonderful English comedy shows Kristýna is putting on.  Also follow Comedy Prague for details on more fun comedy shenanigans in this most joyous of cities.

Red Dwarf star on heart attacks, comedian with too much time on their hands and the problem with Jimmy Saville.One of the first and most deadpan stand-ups on the British circuit, Norman Lovett is now famous as the face of the computer, Holly, on the sci-fi hit comedy Red Dwarf. In this intriguing chat with Dr. Brian Kaplan, Norman muses on why comedians get depressed and reveals how he dealt with his own heart attack at the age of 38. Norman gives his thoughts on public figures from Donald Trump to Jimmy Saville and how to deal with the advancing years.Tweet us @FeelingFunnyPod About us snippernixon.comMore about Norman Lovett here > @normanlovett1 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Okay, suckers. Get this into your stupid thick heads. There's only one thing I'm going to say to you: please listen to our episode commentary for Queeg. Danny, John, Ian and TORDFC's Jo Sharples gather around to discuss such topics as Ed Bye's directorial flair, the nature of Holly's consciousness, how the show might have developed had Norman Lovett stayed on, and the surface area of peas. There's also a somewhat startling new theory about how long Holly's joke lasted - was "Queeg" actually in charge for five months? Join us for an uncharacteristically competent chinwag.

Red Dwarf stars Danny John-Jules, Robert Llewellyn, Chris Barrie, Hattie Hayridge, Norman Lovett and Chloe Annett discuss their experiences making the show, reflect on the attempted American remake and speculate on the whereabouts of their missing colleague... Recorded at EM-Con 2015 at the Capital FM Arena, Nottingham, England.

Rambling man Norman Lovett is the comedy equivalent of a tai chi master, using subtlety and gentleness to often devastating comic effect. In this episode Norman is convinced to put aside his distrust of analysing comedy, at least some of the time, and we learn about the acts that inspired him, his audition for Red Dwarf, and the anger simmering beneath the whimsy...Get ad-free new episodes, bonus content from interviews and much more by joining the Insiders Club at www.comedianscomedian.com/insidersGet tickets for Stu Goldsmith's stand-up tour at www.comedianscomedian.com/tour@comcompod | www.comedianscomedian.comAnd don't forget to join the Comcom Facebook group, which you can do here.

RHEFP 2013 #3: Norman Lovett and Christian Reilly - Colin's Revenge? Richard is reeling from a not really all that near death experience, but luckily Norman Lovett is on hand to provide laconic wisdom and laughs and the kind of honesty that comes with being one of comedy's elder statesmen. There is some frank discussion about Jimmy Savile and what he might have been trying to achieve in those mortuaries, whether Keith Allen can solve the world hunger crisis, what Phillip Schofield likes to do at 3pm and where John Lloyd expects others to buy furniture. There's a bit of Red Dwarf and The Young Ones and the young Edgar Wright, as well as the now customary chat about suicide, but it's mainly an afternoon in the charming company of a funny man. With AIOTM's (aiotm's) Christian Reilly providing some songs.

Norman Lovett and Cariad Lloyd join the boys for the final #flatslam in the series - and it is a bumper-length fight over who is going to clean the flat windows. While Cariad gives us some very sensible glass-buffing tips, Norman goes off on one talking about 'The Big Bang Theory'. Worse is to come when he reveals he isn't a fan of puns - how will he cope with the next fifty minutes? Elsewhere in the show, Ben indicates how little he cares about winning, Tom is confused by vinegar and Matthew loses control. Plus a big shout to brave Beef Brothers complainee James who endures the collapse of his case with stoicism and by throwing in the towel before it has even got started. If you've enjoyed the series then please do help spread the word by telling people about it.
