Execs weren't happy with the first USA pilot, so an attempt at a second was made. There were cast changes (Rimmer & Cat), but Cat was reimagined as a female (Terry Farrell of DS9 fame). The bulk of this one was clips from the UK pic.twitter.com/ym6UDADMh0

version, plus there were no new scenes filmed with Kryten due to scheduling. This attempt didn't work either. Probably for the best, as if it did work, we wouldn't have gotten more of the UK original. Has more of a UK angle. pic.twitter.com/W4U1cfqqUX
