#threshold14 // ROBOTS WE LOVE: Kryten:
Who is he?
Portrayed by Robert Llewellyn in Red
Dwarf, Kryten is a Series 4000 Service Mechanoid extraordinaire. After a small
appearance in the show’s second series, the character came back full time in
the third and has remained just as domesticated, witty and smug ever since.
What does he do?
With his personality settings
gradually changed over the series, he becomes ever more humanoid. Prone to
extreme acts of domestic work, handy with a psyscanner and fully knowledgeable
of Space Corps Directives, Kryten is multi-tasking universal must have
companion.
Where would he be at the Festival?
With so many robots about, we’re sure
Kryten would be fuming over their seeming captivity and frowning over how much
mess the humans are making in the name of art. But, once he knew what was
actually going on we’re sure he’d be in Unit 51 enjoying the lovely recipes and
music on offer.
Kryten says:
“Sir, are you really saying you would rather have a
psychopathic mechanical killer rip off your skull and play your frontal lobes
like a xylophone than have another bowl of my nourishing space nettle soup?”
