The Man In The Rubber Mask

Zusatztext

<p>It was 1989 when Robert Llewellyn first had his head encased in the one-piece latex foam-rubber balaclava that is the head of Kryten in<i>Red Dwarf</i>series three, and it gave him a distinctly funny turn.</p><p>Gazing at his own reflection and seeing the face of a mechanoid robot staring back was surprisingly scary, not to mention uncomfortable and rather sweaty. And he couldn't even eat his lunch.</p><p>Since then, he has sweated, frozen, been set on fire, exploded, spent thousands of hours in the make-up chair and thousands more being taunted by Craig Charles for being a middle-class b*****d. So it is a testament to the joyful camaraderie and life-enhancing silliness of the world of<i>Red Dwarf</i>that twenty-three years later, Robert is still willing to risk life, limb and hairline to don the rubber torture helmet for<i>Red Dwarf X</i>, the recent triumphant return of the motley band of space bums.</p><p>Originally published in 1993 after series six,<i>The Man in the Rubber Mask</i>has now been completely updated with 43.7% extra smeg.</p>
