In "Emohawk: Polymorph II", the crew of the transport vehicle "Starbug" first meet the Kinitawowi when they require supplies, especially an oxygen-generation unit. The Kinitawowi have one to trade but require third technician Dave Lister (Craig Charles) to marry the chieftain's daughter (played by Steven Wickham) in exchange. A disgusted Lister marries the chief's daughter, but flees in the night. The furious chief (played by celebrity chef Ainsley Harriott), sends his Emohawk after the Red Dwarf crew to drain their emotions. The Kinitawowi pursue "Starbug" across space in a battle cruiser, in a bid to return Lister to his Kinatawowi wife until the Kinitawowi battle cruiser is crippled when it crashes onto an ice planet during a chase with "Starbug".
