Further details
When Red Dwarf receives a distress call from a crashed space ship, Nova 5, Lister, Rimmer and Cat jump at the chance to finally meet some women.
When they get there, however, they discover that the female crew have been dead for years and the only lifeform left on board is an android called Kryten. They decide to rescue him and take him back to Red Dwarf, where he quickly takes over with the cleaning and the cooking.
Lister soon puts a stop to this, though, by showing him how to rebel - especially against Rimmer!
