SUMMARY
Kryten has been
classified a woman [he is, after all, missing something,
anatomically speaking] and has been put in the women's
wing of the prison. He's reprogrammed by unscrupulous
inmates to spy on his colleagues in the shower,
images broadcast to a captive audience over an
implanted camera. Pretty soon, Krytie TV is a smash hit
and Kryten is a wealthy media mogul.
CAPSULE REVIEW
The best of the season
eight episodes, with a great performance from Robert
Llewellyn and some great digs at the contemporary fad for
reality TV programming. The ending is, perhaps, a little
weak, but the wonderful scenes of panic when Rimmer and
Lister become the unwitting stars of You've Been
Krytered more than make up for it.
