Pilot (2000)
After Adrian Sherlock had completed the first Damon Dark series, Producer Jennifer Douglas decided to co-produce a semi-professional version. Using a script from Sherlock, sponsorship was obtained and TV drama director Chris Langman and James Kalish directed the episode.
The fundamental change was that Douglas had decided to recast the central role, with Bruce Hughes playing Damon. Bruce Hughes is an actor of considerable professional experience, including a role as Commander Wellington in the popular children's science fiction series Ocean Girl and a role in the 2007 movie Ghost Rider. Adrian Sherlock's own recollection was that "This was sad for me, but I liked the actor."

Famous quotes containing the word pilot:
“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
