I've never confessed this anywhere online before, but I actually had a mild crush on Dave Lister when I was a kid. Apparently his unfortunate personal hygiene caused me no concern.

Hahaha, if it's a problem for you then it also is for me, because I did too. XD

(When we were teenagers, my sister and I had a tendency, without really doing it intentionally, to divide up the shows we watched into "hers" and "my" characters - I gravitated toward Lister, as she did to Rimmer. I think these days I appreciate them both equally; back then I was more into the "nicer" ones while she liked the bad boys, and my appreciation for utter trash fire characters developed mainly after we went our separate ways and I realized that I liked them as much as she did, I'd just been repressing it to avoid horning in on what I saw as her territory.)

Anyway, I don't see why not; Craig Charles is utterly adorable, and for all his questionable personal issues, Lister really is a very delightfully catnippy blend of snarky humor, stubbornness, loyalty and heroism. (What's that one episode where he goes completely badass on the enemy-of-the-week, the one where he says "You killed all my friends today"? That episode really got to me.) And that scene you linked to gets to me, too. :D
