Was Kryten American?


I know Robert Llewellyn played Kryten in both UK and US versions. In the BBC version Robert plays the role with an American accent. Did he do the same in the US version, or did he use his normal accent, when surrounded by bone fide American accents?

It was what he called a Canadian accent.

I thought his normal accent was British. He did such a good Canadian accent that I didn't even know he was from England for years, though. But yeah, it didn't sound quite American in the vowels.

In the original and only decent version of Red Dwarf, Kryten is not American. He's not even human believe it or not.. except that one time..
