Robot Manservant

At some time in FPSO it was popular to own Robot Manservants.
One example of such was the Intergalactic Robotic Manservant (or IRM) manufactured by Rockall Robotics.
Drummond was an example of this type. In the time of the attack on Trefflemore by the Cremators though, Drummond considered himself to be a museum piece.
Laws on their use
The use of Robotic Manservants is outlawed on Planet Earth, as William says to Miss Wittershall:
'Old biddies a hundred years ago thought they were quite the thing, but well ... robots have rights now, their use is outlawed back on Earth'
Rights for Robots and the Anti-Servitor League are both organisations set up for the help and protection of robots. There is also RAB, Robots Advice Bureau although some robots, such as Drummond considered that "It is generally acknowledged that it deals with the lower end of robotic beings, appliances, factory workers and the like"
Usage
IRMs are activated by voice command. They are switched on by addressing them by name and giving them an instruction.
Operation
Robot Manservants have a form of Wifi that enabled them to communicate with other robotic appliances and computers. They are able to download large quantities of data from any accessable internet.
An IRM will often take charge of the owners calender and schedule.
IRMs adapt to suit their owners. In the case of William McGonagall and Drummond, Drummond becomes more decietful in order to cover for William's dodging of meetings and lectures.
