USA Pilot #1

This Story: Not officially aired, so no episode count
Overall: Not officially aired, so no episode count
Airdate: Never aired
Written by Linwood Boomer
Directed by Jeffrey Melman

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.

#RedDwarfMarathon Extra - USA Pilot #1 - ? 1992 2/2 had Kryten there from the start, and a lot of the jokes were more American (Lister making mention of his baseball cards). Most people didn't care for this, but I didn't have a problem, which seems to puzzle Craig Bierko. :)
