Dermot's Dilemma (Pilot Episode)

The original BBC pilot episode that was never broadcast. It was used as a demo internally to assist commissioning of the first series. It follows the storyline of The Mammy. It is available on the Series One DVD release. While this episode and The Mammy are the same, there are some differences, including the dialogue and the inclusion of Sharon McGoogan (played by Marion O'Dwyer) in the place of Betty Brown, who is absent from this episode. Amanda Woods, who plays Betty, is credited as Baghdad Barbie (a character from the original series) even though she doesn't actually appear in this episode.
