Red Dwarf is an absolute classic, but I think people of all nations can agree that the American version was better off cancelled.

Even the second attempt at it, with Star Trek DS9's Terry Farrell (as Cat), was a bad idea.

The original was lightning in a bottle.

I have watched the American pilot, and one thing I found curious was that the two female characters were the most interesting (Cat and the Computer played by Terry Farrel and Jane Leeves who were both in major series - Deep Space Nine and Frasier). Holly/Computer has been female for much of the British series and Cat did work as a female character. Contrast with the British show which was very male except for computer (sometimes) and Kochanski when she became a regular character (Chloe Annette didn't really work. I wish Clare Grogan had been a regular instead.)

I agree, Clare Grogan is still who I picture when I think of Kochanski tbh, I loved her energy
