Dear Chris Barrie…

The Red Dwarf Hologram and ‘man-in-comedy-best-placed-to-run-a-leisure-centre’ is next on my list.

Dearest Chris,

I am a big fan of your work and would be very pleased if you could clear up a query for me. Is your name Christopher or Christian – or indeed something else?! My friend George reckons you are actually called something ulterior, such as Gerard or Jeziah but I think this unlikely. If you could let us know, it would be much appreciated as we currently enjoy a fad for referring to all persons by their full first names and would hate to not be able to bring you up in conversation.

Yours,
