Although a minor character with less screen time than the Skutters, Talkie Toaster is a loathsome kitchen appliance hellbent on pestering its owner to eat some form of toasted bread product morning, noon and night - and don't forget second breakfast!

Talkie has gone through a few changes over the years, but his real moment in the limelight came in Series 4's "White Hole". The episode is widely regarded as some of the best writing in Red Dwarf history, and Dave Ross' performance as Talkie is the icing on the cake.

Loathsomely irritating, conclusively bread obsessed and an absolute bargain at £19.99 retail, Talkie might describes himself as your "chirpy breakfast companion". In reality, he would drive even the strongest minds to total meltdown.

Lister can count himself fortunate that he has some semi-sane crewmates, otherwise he'd be left alone, three million years from Earth with the incessant chatter of a crazed toaster slowly melting his mind

Would you like some toast?
