In episode 3 of series 1, Rimmer takes on Kochanski's skin in an effort to trick Lister. We get a decent cut of dialogue from the actress that plays the character, and her accent sounds Scottish to me.
shareYes, the actress is Scottish. In series 7, when Kochanski's played by an English woman, they inserted a line about her going to a posh Scottish school.
shareYes
she was in a pop band called Altered Images.

I remember them. She also starred in the 1981 movie Gregory's Girl. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory%27s_Girl
shareClaire Gargon played Scottish Kochanski in earlier episodes, Chloe Annette played her in series 7 and 8 (think it was 7 and 8)
I found series 7 and 8's Kochanski slightly forgettable, tbh
I know this because I read it somewhere
