   But the nanobots recreated Red Dwarf after Kryten told them to, in the   
   presence of all of these people. They also had been riding around in   
   StarBug so presumably could have been aware of all the events prior to   
   recreating the small red one.   
      
   Of course, this is ultimately nitpicking, and Dwarf never bothered too   
   much about continuity and plot holes.
