- And so was Suzanne Bertish, who played the female Rimmer ("Arlene", as
- in "Deb." "Dave." "Arnold." "Arlene." "Indeedy.") in the Red Dwarf episode
- "Parallel Universe." She played Chris Barrie's secretary. In one scene,
- he makes up something to lecture her about, and then tells her how successful
- he is in extramarital affairs. He then orders her to call his wife and tell
- her he will be staying late and won't be home for dinner. She asks what
- reason should she give. Barrie says something to the effect of "Just make up
- something, that'what you're paid for," so she calls up the wife politely and
- when the wife asks why, she says "Oh, he wants to sleep with one of the junior
- copywriters. You're welcome." With her delivery it was great! It's one of my
- favorite Lenny Henry episodes (so of course it was bad reception and grainy
- the one time they played it)
-
- PS: I think it was actually spelled "Prat Outta Hell", but I'm not positive
