[1] The script was written by Robert Llewellyn (who plays series regular Kryten) and Doug Naylor, and was directed by Ed Bye.
Meanwhile, Kochanski (Chloë Annett) decides to educate Lister (Craig Charles) and Cat (Danny John-Jules) on the finer points of etiquette by introducing them to a virtual reality rendition of "Pride and Prejudice Land" in "Jane Austen World".
He enters the AR suite, his anger spiralling out of control, and knocks out some of the Bennet sisters; however, when this starts to go wrong he then brings in a tank from a World War II game and destroys the gazebo the crew are having tea in.
Thanks to Kochanski's navigating skills, the crew soon end up in a standoff with the Simulant who, to prove he means business, gives Kryten the password to a secure file in his CPU that he's never been able to access.
After Kryten is also made aware of the secret by the simulant, he starts to spiral into a similar depression that caused Able to turn to otrazone, although Lister comforts him by claiming that he has evolved beyond his original personality.
Unfortunately, the Centauri attacks them, and their attempts to hide in an asteroid belt are thwarted by Able accidentally revealing the location whilst rebounding on otrazone.
In a final act of repentance, the crew are saved by Able who sacrifices his life for them by attacking the Centauri with the pent-up emotions stored in Kryten's nega-drive, enticing the simulant to destroy himself and his ship in a fit of depression.
This meant that, despite Llewellyn's original intention, he had to wear the Kryten makeup twice as much, as Able appeared in the same costume coloured green instead of black.
Henderson was in the latter stages of terminal throat cancer during filming, and his husky voice was not a special effect as many viewers believed but was due to his condition.
