THE Cat appeared in purr-son to sign Red Dwarf memorabilia for fans this weekend.

Danny John-Jules, who played Cat in the long running BBC sci-fi comedy, met fans at the signing session at the Videodrome in Broad Street, Worcester on Saturday.

"We had a queue for most of the four hours that he was here, and plenty of people braved the cold weather to meet him," said store manager, Tim Evans.

"Danny's a really good fun bloke who gets on well with the punters," he added.

Most famous for Red Dwarf, Mr John-Jules also appeared as a vampire-ninja in the film Blade 2, with Wesley Snipes, and has also worked in the theatre.
