DwarfCast 155 – Red Dwarf USA Pilots – Commentary

In my own personal and humble opinion, Red Dwarf fans are very
lucky to have something like the US pilots. The mystery and
excitement of them during the 90s and the black market in
increasingly terrible copies are a defining part of many of our
fandoms. Despite the fact we've still been unable to source a
decent quality copy of either pilots, the time has come for Ian,
Danny and Cappsy to commentate on these pilots 30 years after
they were ill-conceived.
