Norman Derrick Lovett (born 31 October 1946) is an English stand-up comedian and actor, best known for the role of Holly in Red Dwarf during the first, second, seventh (as a guest star) and eighth series. His comedy has a quiet, dead-pan surrealism, and in 2000 he made a successful stand up tour, co-headlining with Chris Barrie, who played Rimmer in Red Dwarf. Lovett was born in Windsor, Berkshire. Lovett is divorced and has two daughters, Lily and Kitty. Prior to his performing career, Lovett did office and manual work with the final job at the Whitechapel Art Gallery as an attendant.
In 1989, he appeared in his own surreal BBC2 sitcom called I, Lovett, in which he played a character called Norman. Seven years later, he played Dr. Lovett in the short-lived sitcom Asylum which spawned many other successful careers.
He has made a number of acting appearances such as the Ghost of Christmas Past in a TV adaptation of A Christmas Carol, Mr Follett in The History of Tom Jones, the film The Criminal, as well as the BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, and a cameo appearance in The Young Ones in the episode "Summer Holiday". He has been in The Bill and three episodes of the Scottish sitcom Rab C Nesbitt. In 2006, he appeared in the low-budget British horror film Evil Aliens.
Its good to be alive in the peaceful revolution
An honor to observe the beautiful solution
I tip my hat to we the people in order to form a more perfect world
This shall come to pass
The beginning of the end
Of the ignorance that once could sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
Yeah, the peaceful revolution
All around this small world
Now the people demand to listen
These truths self-evident
Philosophical evolution
As the old die out
The young see a better way
Human rights guaranteed to all
Without regard to race, I say
The beginning of the end
Now the people vote, we will not sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
In the peaceful revolution
I see the last frontier and the peaceful revolution
World peace is merely a product of social evolution
The conquest lies in accepting different peoples
And thinking right here at home
In the suns kingdom
The beginning of the end
And of the tolerance that once could sin
The tyrant to power
His day is done
In the worldwide revolution
In the peaceful revolution
Its the peaceful revolution
Its the peaceful revolution
