It's only as events unfold over the first few episodes that you can see his character evolve to the inept, bumbling fool we all remember him to be. | |

Harris believed there was every chance Smith would be written-out, probably at the conclusion of Episode 6, the end of the mini-series with which season one opened on the hostile planet. So when he agreed his unusual billing, he genuinely had no confidence that he was signing a run-of-the-show contract. He only expected to be in 6 episodes. | |
