James Cary: Annoying People & Boring Bits
This week, I watched an episode of Red Dwarf Series IV that somehow I had never seen before. I am a huge fan of Red Dwarf and Series V and VI, especially - a really good blend of characters, gags and sci-fi imagination. But I missed the Waxworld episode all those years ago and never caught up.

David Bentley, Coventry Telegraph, 6th June 2010Red Dwarf - The US pilots
Back in the 90s, there were two attempts to remake Red Dwarf, with two completely different casts. The first was a full-length pilot, with only Robert Llewellyn returning to play Kryten. When that didn't go down well, a shorter "greatest hits" alternative with another cast got made. And that didn't go down much better either, so it never went to series.
