It's understood, Pex - I wouldn't worry about it. Give our best to your uncle.

Proty II,
that is the correct answer. I would say that you have the next question.
Pex,
I am glad your Uncle is OK

I'll second everyone's wishes about Pex's uncle.
Speaking of Pex, what was the name of the Doctor Who story that featured a character named Pex (played by a delightfully scrumptious Howard Cooke)?

Congratulations Wayne!
I'm not really a fan of the Sylvester McCoy years but I remember thinking that Pex was a real hottie so that storyline has stuck in my mind.
You're up!

Okay... A really really easy one while I wait for designers to send me files. At this time of day I'm surprised I can think of anything at all.
What level of power is required to activate your DeLorean Time Vehicle?

Of Course...  (Was trying to come up with a song for my band by the same name, but they resisted...  )

Little non-question trivia factoid: Doug Naylor has said that the original conception for Lister was for him to be played a bit like the Doc in BttF, with his brain fried by all the curries, etc.
Eventually getting round to the question:
According to Kryten, what non-standard piece of equipment was issued only to those mechanoids working on Italian starships?

Dunno, but another interesting non-question trivia factoid regarding my namesake question above (which I hate I missed since that's one of my favorite Who stories!): The character of Pex was originally intended to be played by an Arnold Schwartzenegger-type actor (as a joke, since someone that large and muscular theoretically shouldn't be afraid to go to war), but of course, Howard Cooke got the part and wound up playing it far more sincerely. I've always liked his Pex (no pun intended) so that's why I chose the name I did...

Pex, I wasn't sure if you were connected with the Doctor Who character or not, but as soon as I saw your name that's where my thoughts went.
It's been years since I've seen it and I never bothered to record the McCoy episodes, so it's all a bit hazy now.
I like Red Dwarf too, but I'm damned if I know the reference.

Clue - it's something Kryten said at a time he was bemoaning his lack of the thing for a specific reason.

I probably don't know the answer to this, but the reference to "italian starships" is so familiar it's driving me nuts. I just wish I knew where I heard that distinction before...!

Maybe you're thinking of Demon Planet, my favorite Italian Rubber movie.

Clue: Kryten once obtained this thing for a short time, and spent time taking pictures of it.

Come on - given that this is LW.net, I expected someone would have guessed THIS object long ago.
Kryten later made one which ran away, leading the Cat to a rather embarassing situation and Kokanski to make a snotty remark.

Yeah, the last clue referenced Archie, but that's not the answer to the question You need to answer the question to get the point

Hmm, it's either a p*nis, or probably an enlargement device for one...I'll say option A.

Option A it is (well, technically the word used was "genitals," but given that the whole conversation was about Kryten's eunichesque status, I think that answer is sufficient). *given that this is LW.net, I expected someone to get that ages ago* KRYTEN: The only mechanoids to be issued with genitals were the ones created to work on Italian starships. It was thought they could acclimatize themselves better if they could mimic their Italian crewmates and stand around cupping themselves all day. Try and remember this time, huh Pex

HA!  Right, here goes: In Doctor Who, which two Doctors never faced the Cybermen on television? I'll accept numbers or actor names...
