::I want to know why Craig Charles' Bio has no mention of him turning down the part of Joey in Friends to play the part of Lister.  Surely this is regarded a moderately significant career-move?     

 ::: If you have a have a source, it can go in, otherwise it's just another unsubstantiated rumour.    

 ::::It can be found on the Dwarfing USA documentary on the series V set.  "BUY IT NOW" as Lardy Andrew would say.     

 :::::Ha, ha, ha. That's very funny. Yes, I salute you. I know Lister has been known to do a bit of time travel, but really; Red Dwarf - 1987, Friends - 1993.    

 ::::::They're making a "joke" about Craig Bierko, who was Lister in the US pilot, and who did indeed turn down the role of Joey. Hilarious.    

 :::::::None other than John Lennon himself appeared in the curry monster outfit.     

 ::::::::Impressive considering he was dead by then    

 :::::::::It was Paul McCartney in the Curry Monster outfit (see Beat the Geek for this info), while Lennon just provided a few voices for vending machines and the like in the first couple of series.  Again this is well known information, ask anyone like Seb Patrick or Andrew Ellard or John Hoare or Jonathan Capps.     

 The creature who says "bidoo pidoo" to the Cat in Better than Life (she's supposed to be a kind of Marilyn Monroe) is played by the same actress who later became the blonde one in Men Behaving Badly.
