Did You Know?
| Trivia | Hattie Hayridge replacing Norman Lovett as Holly in series 3 was due to Lovett falling out with the producers over him not wanting to attend rehearsals in London because he was now living in Edinburgh with his future wife, and them wanting to cut his pay as a result. See more » |
| Goofs | Cat is supposedly descended from Lister's cat 3 million years earlier. There wouldn't be enough genetic diversity in such a scenario, and the increasing levels of inbreeding would have wiped the cats out long before evolving into humanoid form. See more » |
