What's ironic about Rimmer and Kryten's Esperanto conversation is that the Esperanto word for yes isn't 'si', 'jawohl' or 'oui' - it's pronounced the same way as 'yes' in English. In a desperate wild stab in the dark to answer correctly in Esperanto by using all the other languages he knows, Rimmer misses it completely when he could've answered in English and got it right!

That last line spoken by Kryten, "What am I going to to do" "What's to become of me" was taken from George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion. The line was spoken by the character Eliza Doolittle to professor Henry Higgins as she realises she can never return to the streets as a cockney flower girl with her new upper class manners and speech. David Ross in this scene embodied a lost flower girl with no world to call his own. It was bitter sweet with Howard Goodall choice of soprano saxophone sealed the moment in the hearts of a million viewers for a generation.

I've love it when Lister's accent really comes out.
That last line Kryten said is actually fairly sad. I felt genuinely sorry for Kryten, he couldn't grasp the idea that humans have a limited life span, and continued to serve dead bodies. Writers were actually geniuses to adapt humour and comedy and a bittersweet tragedy into one scene. It's such an obvious thing that after that much time the original crew wouldn't be alive, but then you see it and that's the time reality kicks in and you feel depressed. Kryten was so innocent in this episode.

Rimmer actually says "They've got less meat on them than a Chicken McNugget.". They muted out 'Mc' in 'McNugget' here, but was restored in the remastered edition of "Kryten" that was released in 1997. On Red Dwarf The Bodysnatcher Collection DVD, Doug Naylor and director Ed Bye explain in the audio commentary for the remastered "Kryten" why it was removed from the original and then later restored in the remastered.

One of my all time favorite lines from the show was when Kryten said he had only been away 2 minutes. When I first saw that years ago on PBS, I was younger obviously but I still understood it enough to bust out laughing for a good 5 minutes. I missed like 2 scenes after this one because I was laughing. I'm not exaggerating.

"All right girls. Hands up those of you who are alive." None of them raised their hands. That's also a funny line. "Smeg off dog food face" was also funny when Rimmer said it to Lister. :D

Great R.D scene.Never forgot it even 30 years after first seeing it.
I really like the Kryten that Robert plays, but I would've loved to have seen more of this Kryten.
One of the best scenes from a show that was full of good scenes.
This episode of RD has to be without a doubt my all-time favorite. Too many hysterical moments to list. In my humble opinion, Krytie was a welcomed addition to the cast. Lots of magic in those early episodes, eh? Ta.
One of my favourite scenes in Red Dwarf 😂
"There's a simple test... Ok girls, hands up those of you who are alive!" lol
In the novel *Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers* by Rob Grant, it's revealed that the Nova V crashed shortly after Kryten had cleaned the navacom.
This is just about the funniest thing I've ever seen.
Its actually quite clever of Red Dwarf to make this so funny when, if you give it a bit of thought, this could be really dark. Three women, assuming they survived the crash, slowly ageing as they are waited on hand and foot by a single android, dying, unable to escape (or possibly unable to leave the table due to injuries) and then, after centuries, their decayed bodies still being served by the same android who has now succumbed to computer senility to such a degree that it has lost touch with reality to the point it doesnt even know its charges havent needed him for a long, long time. To walk in on that after youve been drifting in space for so long...

It makes me wonder if they all died in the crash as bruised meatbags and then rotted away over time. It's extra heartbreaking when you realise Kryten was clearly never programmed to understand the concept of death or decay.

I do prefer Robert Llewellyn as Kryten over David Ross, but: 1.) David Ross never really got a chance to get going in the role, he may have found his feet in time had he returned (we'll never know now); and 2.) its a bit of unfair comparison anyway as Kryten was originally not intended to become a regular character, so Ross could only make the best of what he was given in one episode (whereas as Robert Llewellyn effectively played Kryten as a completely different character with the same name and got plenty of airtime to flesh the character out more), and I did like Ross' performance as a standalone; and 3.) I REALLY liked David Ross when he returned as Talkee Toaster in Series 4 - I think they should have done more episodes with David Ross in that role personally

I love how Kryten has no concept of death, did he not notice they havent said or done much for a long time?
I love how he says "incredibly, credibly brave" hehe!
David Ross, who played Kryten, also did the voice of Talkie Toaster in Season 4 and reprised it again later on in the series. Is it me, or does Kryten's voice sound a lot higher-pitched than Talkie Toaster's?
Notice the little blip when Chris said "Chicken McNugget" at 2:48 - Doug Naylor said this was put in by the BBC who were not allowed to say commercially available food products on air, of course McDonalds owned the McNugget brand, and so the little blip was placed in.
David Ross played Kryten in this episode. Kryten wasn't intended to become a main Red Dwarf member. Ross wasn't able to continue the role (when the character was brought back in season 3) due to scheduling issues so Robert Llewellyn took over.
Chris Barrie looks like he is about cracking up when try to convince Kryten the girls are dead.

If you have watched the full version of this Episode, you would have also been introduced to "Ace" Rimmer. He was just and idea at the time, but would later become a reoccuring character.
I like red dwarf its a fantastic series. Robert Llewellyn played the kryten character very well. Kryten is a brilliant and funny character. He should of been in all the episodes in series 1. And series 2.

I happened to stumble upon one of the marathons that a local tv station was airing to raise money to keep the show airing, and I was hooked!
