Are you asking about "Deb Lister" from the Parallel Universe episode? She was played by Angela Bruce.
“We have nothing to fear but fear itself. Apart from pain. And maybe humiliation and obviously death. And failure. But apart from fear, pain and humiliation, failure and the unknown and death, we have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

You still look like the Turkish entry in the Eurovision Song contest.

Saw a mini fridge yesterday you can win in a contest online, that said "smeg" on the front.
Been thinking about Doctor Who recently, so this line seems appropriate:
We could go to Dallas in November 1963, stand on the grassy knoll and shout "Duck!"

Lister:”What’s you view on the situation, Hol?”
Holly:”Straight up your nose when you lean in like that.”

I just finished a complete rewatch of all of Red Dwarf on the Britbox streamer. It's the second time I've watched the revival seasons/specials, and the first time I've watched the original and revival (or original, first revival, and much later second revival) back-to-back. I think it's also the first time I've seen the un-Remastered versions of the first few seasons, at least since they originally ran on PBS way back when -- although the series title card on Britbox misleadingly uses the Remastered logo.
It's weird -- my impression the first time around with the revival was that Back to Earth was terrible and Series 10-12 were decent but far short of the series's prime, though I liked The Promised Land. This time around, I found that BtE was kind of okay, Series 10-12 were often quite good and felt true to the spirit of the original run, and TPL is possibly the best thing they've ever done. It's Series 8, especially its latter half, that's the nadir of the series. I never felt the solo-Naylor Series 7-8 were as good as the Grant-Naylor seasons, but Naylor's work on the revival has been much better. Maybe seeing the revival stuff after the low point of Series 8 has improved it in my eyes.

Emergency! Emergency! There is an emergency going on. It’s still going on.”

Funny you should mention that show. I was just thinking about the show Defiance yesterday
Kryten:” Are you okay, sir? I heard yelling.”
Lister:” No Kryten. I am not. I’v just been assaulted by Tutankhamun’s horny grandmother.”

Sad news as Charles Augins (aka Queeg 500 and the choreographer of Tongue Tied) has died:

Charles Augins RIP – Ganymede & Titan
More terrible news, I’m afraid. As reported by filmmaker and producer Courtney Baker-Oliver on Instagram, the peerless Charles Augins passed away yesterday, aged 81. Charles was a legend in the world of musical theatre, as an actor, dancer and choreographer. His work in Broadway, the West End...

I just discovered an old comedy on YouTube starring Craig Charles called Captain Butler.
Apparently there is only six episodes, and it was to run on Channel 4 in 1997.
Update
I have only watched 4 episodes so far. Surprisingly, there is someone in episode 2 that looks very Kryten-like playing Admiral Nelson.

I remember it and yes, it was nice to see Robert Llewellyn pop up. That was when Craig Charles unintentionally monopolised Friday nights in January '97; Captain Butler and Red Dwarf VII ran concurrently on C4 and BBC2, with Funky Bunker on ITV. I recall reading that he was understandably annoyed with the scheduling, as months of work flew past the public, and The Girly Show named him "Wanker of the Week" for his irritating ubiquity.
Any other old Craig Charles/Robert Llewellyn shows I should know about?
