Notes

• This has never been aired anywhere, nor ever officially released on home video (in full).
• Robert Lewellyn’s Kryten is the only cast member from the UK version to appear.
• There’s a minor continuity issue, when Kryten says his full name is “Kryten 2XB 517P”, when the UK show made it “Kryten 2X4B-523P”.
• The music was composted by Todd Rundgren.
• There’s a postscript at the end, which sets up the series.  It includes a few captures from episode of the UK Red Dwarf, with the new (Jane Leeves) Holly superimposed on the old footage.
• There was a 25 minute extra on the Season 5 DVD set about the USA specials, I’ve embedded the full video below.
