Still no takers, she acted in a comedy series with her tall lanky husband at the time. The series is still repeated and I still get a laugh at it.

The face is familiar, but the second female name in the Rhyme doesn't ring any bells. No help from me I'm afraid.

Hi Sheba her name in the series was the first name in the rhyme. This will probably give it away. There were only 12 episodes made of the series.

No not David Ross. You're close you have the right Android but David Ross only played Kryten in one or two episodes and he was later replaced with the man in the picture who became a regular in the series.

OK It appears I have stumped everyone it's Robert Llewellyn so can someone else post another picture.
Llewellyn's involvement with Red Dwarf came about as a result of his appearance at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing in his comedy, Mammon, Robot Born of Woman; this show was about a robot who, as he becomes more human, begins to behave increasingly badly. This was seen by Paul Jackson, producer of Red Dwarf, and he was invited to audition for the role of Kryten.
Llewellyn joined the cast of Red Dwarf in 1989 in series 3 and continued in the role through the twelfth series. At Thames con 2018, Llewellyn and his co-star Danny John-Jules announced that a new series was confirmed, and would be filmed in early 2019 and likely released later the same year. [6] His skills as a physical performer encouraged Rob Grant and Doug Naylor to write him additional characters for the series, namely Jim Reaper ("The Last Day"), The Data Doctor ("Back in the Red"), Human Kryten ("DNA"), Bongo ("Dimension Jump") and Able ("Beyond A Joke"). Llewellyn co-wrote the Red Dwarf Series VII episode "Beyond A Joke" with Doug Naylor.
In the early days of Red Dwarf he would arrive to do makeup many hours before the rest of the actors; however, that changed as time progressed as his fellow actors "have a little bit more help in the makeup department than they used to".[7] In an interview with The Skeptic Zone, Llewellyn mentioned that he needs a special pair of glasses to be able to read the script with the Kryten mask on. In Red Dwarf, he worked hard to get the more technically difficult lines right because the show tried to be factually accurate in reference to scientific theories.[7]
He was also the only British cast member originally to participate in the American version of Red Dwarf, though other actors such as Craig Charles and Chris Barrie were also approached to reprise their roles.
