Okay, so we were just watching Promises and near the end, when Sikosu and John were about to get control of the holographic ship, John calls the weird nostril guy that was formerly controlling the ship "Holly". Anything to do with Holly, the computer that controls Red Dwarf? If so, verrrrry cool. :D

I always thought it was a shortened "pet" name for hologram. He did like holograms.

Twice Shy shares a lot of things in common with the Dwarf ep "Polymorph"

Dwarf;

a GELF (genetically engineered lifeform) brings out the Dwafer's most powerful emotions and feeds off them

Lister-loses his fear
Kryten-loses his guilt
Rimmer-loses his anger
Cat- loses his vanity

Farscape;
a Walaxian Arachnid enhances then harvests the crew's strongest traits

John-loses his optomism
Aeryn-loses her emotional strength
D'Argo-loses his anger
Rygel-loses his greed
Chiana-loses her sex drive

in both shows, the only way for the crew to regain their stolen emotions is to destroy the creature that harvested them, the only difference is that at the end of the show, Kryten isn't cooking Polymorph Stew ;)
