Trivia
In his memoir, Robert Llewellyn stated that during filming he would joke around and perform wild antics like he would on the set of the original series. While the original cast enjoyed his antics, the American actors found them distracting and embarrassing.

Quotes
Kryten: He evolved from cats, sir, just as your distant ancestors once swung from trees.
Arnold Rimmer: Ancestors? His grandparents swung from trees.

Alternate versions
After the pilot was rejected by NBC, a second pilot was made. Not a complete episode, it is a combination of scenes from the original pilot, scenes from the BBC series, and new scenes which slightly retooled the cast.

What complete and utter smeg

Just watched a very poor quality copy. In fact I'm quite glad it was a poor quality copy because if it was good quality I would probably have been even more aware of how rubbish this was. (Kryten being the only exception).

Lister was too "Wholesome American", his character needs to be more scummy. Rimmer wasn't arsy enough. Cat looked to be reasonably well cast but there really wasn't enough of his character in the pilot to draw any real conclusion. Holly was also okay except perhaps a little too chirpy. Kryten, well Kryten was played by Robert Llewellyn so you can't really go wrong there.

If the Americans want to watch Red Dwarf why don't they just buy the original episodes off the BBC instead of butchering an absolutely timeless cult classic. I actually feel dirty, I need to watch an original episode to cleanse that detritus from my mind!
