I see your Avatar bird is bigger than mine. I took him into Albatross and said I brought him in to get his licence , they said he looks like he is pretty capable of flying. (I was working on the airstrip)

When XXXXXX was a boy, a school teacher once told him he was a worthless troublemaker who would never amount to anything and that when he grew up people would only laugh at him.

No Tony, not the Colonel. This guy is Australian but did spend a few years in the U.S. A good clue is in my previous "Clue Time".

Rodney Rude (born Rodney Malcolm Keft, 29 January 1943 in Nowra, New South Wales, Australia). Famous quote "You know what I hate"
Your on the track Sheba so perhaps this clue will help. This is a conversation he had in a popular TV series, I'll replace his character with a ?:
?: They're all dead. Everybody's dead, Dave.
Dave: Peterson isn't, is he?
?: Everybody's dead, Dave!
Dave: Not Chen!
?: Gordon Bennett! Yes, Chen. Everyone. Everybody's dead, Dave!
Dave: (I won't mention this name as it will let the cat out of the bag)?
?: He's dead, Dave. Everybody is dead. Everybody is dead, Dave.
Dave: Wait. Are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
?: Should've never let him out in the first place....

No not John Clark he is English. In the TV series he is a computer on a space ship lost i space he is a head on a screen and he prides himself on the fact he had an IQ of 6,000 but after three million years by himself, he had become computer senile, or as he put it, "a bit peculiar". Anyone who has seen this series will know who I am talking about by the clues.

You are right , you know , BG , no wonder it stumped me , I didn't watch Red Dwarf .

You're correct BG over to you. I don't know how many reruns we watched of Red Dwarf we couldn't get enough of them but if you decide to check them out BW it would be best to watch the first few episodes to see how it starts.
In 1989, Lovett appeared in his own surreal BBC2 sitcom called I, Lovett, in which he played a character called Norman. Seven years later, he played Dr. Lovett in the short-lived sitcom Asylum which spawned many other successful careers. He has made a number of acting appearances such as the Ghost of Christmas Past in a TV adaptation of A Christmas Carol, Mr Follett in The History of Tom Jones, the film The Criminal, as well as the BBC sitcom Keeping Up Appearances, and an appearance in The Young Ones in the episode "Summer Holiday". He has appeared TV's in The Bill and three episodes of the Scottish sitcom Rab C Nesbitt.[citation needed]
His comedy has a quiet, dead-pan surrealism, and in 2000 he made a successful stand up tour, co-headlining with Chris Barrie, who played Rimmer in Red Dwarf.[1]
In 2006, he appeared in the British horror film Evil Aliens.[2]
Red Dwarf
Lovett played the role Holly in Red Dwarf in its first and second series.[3]Starting from the third series, Lovett declined to join the cast due to the fact that Red Dwarf filming moved to London, while Lovett had moved to Edinburgh, and the distance between the two cities decreased his willingness to participate.[citation needed]
Lovett returned in the seventh series as a guest star and the eighth as a regular. However, a disagreement with the producer, Doug Naylor, means that for a period Lovett refused to take part in any further Red Dwarf productions.[3]
Following the success of Red Dwarf X, Lovett resumed contact with Naylor [4], resulting in his guest appearance in the twelfth series episode "Skipper"[5].
