Information:
- DAVID ROSS originally played Kryten in Red Dwarf. However, due to his apprearance in A Flea in Her Ear, he had to leave. Red Dwarf Producer had seen ROBERT LLEWELLYN playing a robot in Mammon, Robot Born of Woman (1988 Edinburgh Festival) and asked him to join the Red Dwarf cast.
- Only Red Dwarf member to appear in the ill-fated pilot episodes for the proposed American series.

Other Roles:
- I-Camcorder. UK TV show on how to make home vids.
- I saw a 'Bottom' (UK comedy) recently that had the guy who plays Kryten as a one-legged tough Army vet and the girl who plays Saffron on AbFab as a tarty barmaid.... The episode is "Parade" and he's a Falklands war veteran.
- Macleans advert. (UK) Macleans is a brand of toothpaste in the UK and the voice over was done by a certain series 4000 mechanoid, who in my opinion has sold out.
- Nissan advert (UK), Robert Llewellyn! (Doing his Kryten voice.)
- Yes, that's right, Robert Llewellyn's written a sitcom. It's called "Loose Slates" and it is going to be in the Channel 4 Sitcom Festival (12-30 July 95) at Riverside Studios, Crisp Road, London, W6.
- Robert Llewellyn's first TV show was with NORMAN LOVETT in the early 80's in a show called "Book 'Em And Risk It!" I think this is very odd and surreal.
- An episode of Murder Most Horrid, starring Dawn French. An episode of Grushko.
- Prince Cinders.
- Mammon, Robot Born Of Woman.
- I heard he has also done a couple of things for C4 - spin offs of his The Reconstructed Heart book, I think. Don't ask me any more I can't remember.
