It's man stuff

Richard Osman has claimed that “everyone knows” who the real-life Darrien is from Richard Gadd’s hit Netflix showpodcast, the author and television presenter revealed that the show’s writer and creator, Gadd, has been “very open to people in the industry” in regard to who the real ‘Darrien’ character is.

Osman’s co-host, Marina Hyde, was raising concerns about whether the streaming platform is doing enough to ensure people wouldn’t be identified, when the formerco-host said: “Well, that’s the interesting thing. As you say, there’s a very, very serious thing that happens with a male comedy producer and Richard Gadd, who, as you say, did the show in Edinburgh and has been very open to people in the industry about who that person was, so people in the industry know who that person was.

Gadd, himself, has asked viewers to stop speculating about the real people, as some members of the TV and comedy industry began to receive hateful comments, threats and accusations, with viewers believing them to be the true identities behind the characters. Reece Lyons auditioned for the part of Donny’s partner Teri in the Netflix series, but Nava Mau was eventually cast to play the character.

Five days after Baby Reindeer was released, Lyons posted a lengthy thread on X detailing an experience she had whilst auditioning for a Netflix series. Lyons ended up submitting an audition tape for Teri to Nina Gold Casting in March 2022, six months after first meeting Gadd.
