Trivia
This pilot was never aired during the initial broadcast run or in syndication (presumably because Dr. Smith and the Robot were not included in the original cast). It was considered to be lost until it was discovered in the mid -'90s. The Sci-fi Channel had a special called "Pilot Playhouse" where it aired the first episodes of various science-fiction TV shows. It was during research for this special that the original pilot was located and broadcast for the very first time.

Goofs
Alpha Centauri is described as a planet when in fact it is a star (actually three stars in a single star system). This mistake was later corrected.

Connections
Edited into Lost in Space: The Reluctant Stowaway (1965)

Phenomenal Pilot

No Place to Hide was not aired during the initial broadcast run, although most of the footage was used in the initial five episodes (1,4 and 5).

It moves very fast and easily had enough of a variety of action to be incorporated into several very different episodes. It is essentailly very serious with just a little humour provided by Prof Robinson, no less (directed at Debbie The Bloop a couple of times)!

Dr. Smith and The Robot are not in this. Will and Penny seem very young, as this was made in January 1965. A good six months before the other footage for the early episodes began.

Also, very interesting to note is the intro and theme music is nothing like the series. Same for the closing.
