Trivia
While in their cell doing menial tasks, Lister is making sandwiches. This is the same as Arthur Dent's occupation in "Mostly Harmless", the fifth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.

Quotes
Rimmer: Kryten, I'm on B-Deck and it doesn't appear to have been mopped in at least two days. I can hardly see my face in it.
Kryten: A blessing some might say, sir.

Siliconia

It looks like this series of Red Dwarf will examine mechanoid life.

Kryten has been liberated by a ship populated with his kind of androids who have rebelled against their programming. They will no longer be slaves.

As a punishment Lister, Rimmer and Cat will have their brains transferred to mechanoids and be forced to do the tasks that Kryten did for them.

Only Lister still has the consciousness in his new body to still rebel and plan an escape.

A fun and enjoyable episode with a nod to Orwell's Animal Farm. The the Mechanoid Intergalactic Liberation Front may not be as enlightened.
