Trivia

David Ross, who originally played Kryten in the second series, was considered to do a voiceover for Kryten when he is returned to his factory settings. But Robert Llewellyn was able to imitate Ross' original accent. See more »

Quotes

Kryten: The only mechanoids that were ever issued with genitals were the ones created to work on Italian starships. It was thought that could have acclimatised themselves better if they could mimic their Italian crew mates instead of standing around cupping themselves all day.
