[edit] Synopsis
Red Dwarf encounters a drifting spacecraft and the crew investigate, finding a DNA modifier. The Cat fiddles with it and manages to change Lister into a chicken, then a hamster, and back to human. Then, Kryten is caught in the DNA modifier and he becomes human. Life as a human, though, is less interesting to Kryten than aspiring to be human ("I have located what I presume to be the recharging socket, but for some strange reason it doesn't appear to have the standard three-pin adaption. Now, do I have to use some kind of special adaptor? Because no matter what I do, the lead just keeps falling out") and he returns to his mechanoid state, after Lister kills the Mutton Vindaloo Beast (Curry Monster) with Leopard Lager.
[edit] Trivia
- The script for this episode reveals that DNA stands for Do Not Alter.
