Holly Introductions (Series 3 - Deleted Scenes)

[@onlineamiga]

And amusingly a number of years later the AA man actually did turn up :)

[@AndrewChapman]

About smegging time lol

[@thomasdearment3214]

I just loved all the Hollies.

[@wisteela]

They really should have kept these in.

[@prizegotti]

I might be wrong about this, but if I recall Norman ad-lib'd all his intro scenes at the start of each episode, but Hattie's were scripted, and didn't have the same impact as Normans, so they dropped them.

[@ChessJourneyman]

What a surprise

[@MichaelBrookham]

These were not used in the subsequent episodes of Red Dwarf (seasons 3 and onward). Consequently, would Season 4's White Hole have worked with Norman Lovett as Holly, in the part where Holly becomes a genius? I think that White Hole was better with Hattie Hayridge as a genius version of Holly, rather than Norman Lovett.

1:23 LOL

[@dalekbumps]

Hattie's Holly is the best Holly

[@BuckyOhYeah]

In Rob Grant's episode of Robert Llewllyn's Carpool (kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJvYmKKPprB_bNE), he mentions that a major part of them casting Llewellyn as Kryten, was down to the fact he could say the word 'phenomenon' correctly, and that in his experience (Grant), only around 1 in ten actors can say it correctly... 1:28 - I see his point! lol

[@plasmaastronaut]

she said phenomena: the pural of phenomenon

[@BuckyOhYeah]

@@plasmaastronaut Nice spot! :) I see it now...when watching her lips as I hear it, but without, I hear phenome*m*a, but think it's just the quality of the audio... The 'anecdote' still holds true though ;)

[@drmattathias]

@@plasmaastronaut She said phenonema

[@ca11isto]

Glad these weren't used!

[@x-venturegaming9951]

Why? He's just the same.

[@ca11isto]

@@x-venturegaming9951 they aren't funny, the jokes have aged nd it looks like she's reading lines.

[@x-venturegaming9951]

@@ca11isto Well that's why they were deleted. But it makes no difference to me.

[@dalekbumps]

@@ca11isto a lot of the reference-based jokes in Red Dwarf have aged terribly, to the point where they actually re-dubbed some of male Holly's lines in the remastered version to remove references to celebrities, such as Felicity Kendal, as these jokes don't land anymore

[@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475]

@@dalekbumps Speak for yourself. They're still hilarious.

[@ChessJourneyman]

Male ad libs, female reads a script.

[@UrdnotWrex88]

It's so off putting seeing her eyes tracking left to right the entire time as she's clearly reading her lines of a board in front of her.

[@cdname47]

Yeah but don't forget in series 1 and 2 Holly's head is floating around and they have some computer effects on him to disguise exactly that, in all likelyhood They might well have done the same here The more I watch these deleted scenes, the more I think that they did Hattie dirty, especially when they fired her because they couldn't think of anything to do with the character (so,...their fault?) and then brought Holly back 1 series later but....as Norman :S

But you admit you were lost in those eyes. 😍
