Doug Naylor is a British Emmy-award-winning television writer, best known as the co-creator of the iconic sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf for which he wrote or co-wrote all 74 episodes. He is also a Sunday Times bestselling novelist and an award-winning TV director. He was one of the two Head Writers at Spitting Image during the series heyday and co-penned the number one single 'The Chicken Song', on which some bloke called Mike Fenton Stevens sang the lead vocal. He is also the author or co-author of three best-selling Red Dwarf novels. His latest novel, Sin Bin Island, is his first children’s novel. Sin Bin Island mixes the classic adventure ingredients of a foreboding orphanage, compelling characters and intriguing mystery, with magic, a spot of surrealism and a whole heap of funny. .
