Grant Naylor is the pen name of the writing duo, Doug Naylor and Rob Grant, who are best known for their work on the "Red Dwarf" series of novels and television show. The name was created by combining their last names, making it easier to remember and recognize their collaborative efforts. Naylor and Grant have often described themselves as a gestalt entity or a single entity, further joking that they have separate wives for tax purposes. This collective form has been caricatured as Nan't Greylar.
The two authors began working together during the 1980s, starting with writing "Cliché" and "Son of Cliché" for BBC Radio 4. They also contributed to TV programs such as "The Ten Percenters," "Spitting Image," and several Jasper Carrott projects. In addition to their work in television and radio, Grant Naylor has written lyrics for "The Chicken Song" and various musical parodies for the British satirical TV show "Spitting Image." Their collaborative writing has left a lasting impact on science fiction and comedy media.
