Yes I know this is supposed to be about Robert Llewellyn's Kryten (well, he was the better of the two after all) but what about the first Kryten? David Ross played Kryten in one episode...Kryten, the only episode in series II in which Kryten appears,(he is also the voice of the Talkie Toaster in White Hole) though you barely hear anything about him. Nothing against Mr. Llewwllyn (on the contrary, as I mentioned before, think Robert's Kryten is the better of the two) but i feel poor Mr. Ross goes sadly unnoticed.   see? even under that mask you can tell the difference... oh, and did anyone else ever notice that at the end of 'Kryten' Kryten compleatly rebels against Rimmer... yet in future episodes (especially 'Camille') we see him trying to overcome his programming so that he can? |

Ooh yeah... (I like Robert's Kryten better)... I heard somewhere that it was explained that when they came across the "new" Kryten he'd crashed his space craft which had wiped his memory of how he rebelled against Rimmer... or am I dreaming that? LOL! I don't know, I'm dodgy at explaining stuff  I also heard that the guy who played him originally wanted to play him again but was busy or something so he couldn't...? I'll have to find out... |

Although David Ross was quite good as Kryten, he was nowhere near as good as Robert Lwellyn in my opinion. Sure, he had some funny lines, but Robert was just hillarious, and also unique. I thought David Ross' portrayal of Kryten was too stereotypical, and he actually reminds me of C3PO from Star Wars lol.  But Robert Lwellyn in my opinion was totally original, and well casted, and he carries out the role perfectly. As for David Ross as talkie toaster - LOVE IT! ;D That character was hillarious lol!! |

The toaster was funny! I thought that David Ross' Kryten was funny, but I like Robert's better. At the start of series III I understand that there is a Star Wars type scrolling thing across the screen which explains that Kryten crashed and Liser rebuilt him but couldn't recapture his former personality. David Ross wanted to play him again, but was busy filming something else.

I was a bit scared by the first Krytie! LOL I looove Robert as our beloved Mechanoid. But I was glad to see him in DNA as he is without the make-up, he didn't like it much it seemed but it was nice to see him being Krytie without the makeup!
F. ;D

For Sure!
I loved that episode! I love how he moved his mouth oddly (like he would have to do when wearing the make-up/mask) it just added as wonderful touch.

lol! My friend Darc and I pantomine the Poloroid scene to each other... and the best part is, no one else that we're around has ever seen RD, and are baffled as to why we fall over laughing everytime the one of us holds one hand above the other |

Hmm, you have strange habits! I love that scene, though! My mate didn't like RD at first, then I forced her to watch it and then she bought series 1, 2, & 3! I only had 1 & 2, so I got annoyed and said if she bought series 4 before me I'd eat her. Thankfully for both of us, I've got series 4 now.

I love Kryten's voice;
"No matter how hard I twiddle them, I just can't seem to pick up jazz fm!"
It's the way he says FM that get's me laughing. Plus Robert's site rocks. ;D
