 Kristine Kochanski - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
She was the object of lust and ex-girlfriend of Dave Lister before she was killed by a radiation leak.
In the first episode (before the accident) she was played by Scottish actress Clare Grogan, who reprised the role in the episode "Balance of Power", both in flashback and as a hologram.
Although Annett, unlike Grogan, does not have a Scottish accent, it's at this time we are told she was from the Gorbals (apparently the trendiest part of 23rd century Glasgow), and had spent her childhood in "Cyberschool" with perfect computer-generated friends, before entering Cadet School.

The bouncy, little-girl voice of Altered Images belongs to Clare Grogan, who was working as a waitress at the Spaghetti Factory in Glasgow, Scotland when she was discovered by director Bill Forsyth.
Born on March 17, 1962, Grogan is as well known for her acting jobs -- her performance in Gregory's Girl acquired countless raves -- as her innocuous, bubbly personality with Altered Images.
With her schoolgirl vocals Grogan was the antithesis of early �80s New Wave heroines -- completely unlike the streetwise grit of Blondie's Debbie Harry or the witches' coven gloom of Siouxsie Sioux.

It's tempting to imagine that there might be a coffee morning circle for 1980s pop stars turned 21st-century actors - in which the merits of ABC's The Lexicon of Love are put under scrutiny as the stove-top pot gurgles - but she assures us that this really isn't the case.
Soon after, director Bill Forsyth spotted Grogan in a cafe where she was working as a waitress and cast her as Susan in Gregory's Girl, the subject of many a teenage boy's first crush.
Grogan's parents lived next to a cinema, and it was films like Rear Window, Barefoot in the Park, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Sweet Charity that inspired her to become an actress.

In 1980 Clare appeared in Bill Forsyth's film ''Gregory's Girl'', which helped to bring attention to the band, and after sending a demo to Siouxsie & the Banshees they secured an opening slot for their 1980 tour.
Changes in image were made as well, as the cover of ''Bite'' made clear - the fl and white photo of Clare looking very sophisticated in a fl evening gown was a radical switch from her previous portrayals, as well as a break with the previous tradition of featuring the entire band on album covers.
In an interview with ''NME'' Clare noted that the image makeover was intentional, but would not be a new uniform: "We decided we'd have to do something pretty drastic to make people realise that I wasn't going to parade about in ra-ra skirts for the rest of the century.

When I was about eleven I used to fancy Clare Grogan, lead singer of 80s pop band Altered Images; I had two scrapbooks full of cuttings of her.
And I also realised, slightly after this, when I analysed the feelings of shock and self-loathing, that I might very well have fancied her in the first place because I sensed, in years to come, she would begin to look like Margaret Thatcher.
And so, just as Winterson's original admirers should confess to having once loved in her the things they now decry, I must force myself to admit that it wasn't Clare Grogan but Margaret Thatcher I fancied all along.
