Trivia / Red Dwarf Season II "Kryten"

• Edited for Syndication: In a 2012 repeat, Lister telling Kryten he can call Rimmer "Arsehole" when he wants to be really mega-polite to him, and Kryten Flipping the Bird and telling Rimmer, "Swivel on it, punk!" were both cut. The audience reaction to the latter was kept intact making the scene feel really awkward.
  • In the original broadcast, Rimmer comments that the long-dead crewmates on Kryten's ship have "less meat on them than a Chicken Mc Nugget!". All later releases of the episode mute the audio for a brief moment to hide the 'Mc', possibly for copyright reasons.
• Deleted Scene:
  • The full, uncut credits to Kryten's favorite show Androids, including the entire theme tune to the show - a mock-up of the theme tune to the real-world, long-running Australian soap opera Neighbours. The lyrics to the Androids theme song discuss how mechanicals can develop feelings - foreshadowing what does eventually occur with Kryten when he later becomes one of the boys. The full Androids scene was trimmed for the broadcast episode, for time.
  • The Cat performs a disastrous musical duet with Talkie Toaster with the skutters in the disco on the keyboard. Whilst the Cat screeches and wails, Cat complains of Talkie Toaster's musical ineptitude and tone deafness, with Talkie Toaster saying that he "doesn't understand Cat music". This was cut for time.
  • Kryten leaves Red Dwarf on the flying space bike. It causes an explosion of sparks as it rides out of the airlock and is seen flying off into nebulae in space. This was cut because it was felt the effects didn't work, although it was later used on the Remastered version of the episode.
