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...

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...!
