Kryten is my favourite character in
Red Dwarf (no surprise there) and is the one who changes the most as the series progress. Second to
Marvin, the paranoid android of
Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, Kryten provides a great comedy double act to each of the other characters, but in different ways. Always put upon by Rimmer, largely ignored by the Cat and taken under the wing of Lister,
Kryten is your robot without a cause. A robot who is happy to fulfil his programming despite Lister's attempts to get him to rebel and take more control of his existence.
There are some great lines delivered by
Kryten throughout the series and his look is how
Marvin appeared in my head when I first read
Douglas Adams's Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy. Simple design but effective.
