I generally go to the Lysator archives when trying to work this sort of thing out.
Andromeda started showing in October 2000, and I think the US and UK (Sky One) airdates were pretty close together. It first seems to be mentioned on Lysator by an American on October 16, which seems to be two weeks after its first US transmission. It first seems to be mentioned by a Scot on October 31, but that refers to the third episode, counting the opening two-parter as two, and I think we got them both together, didn't we? Curiously, three days before that someone replied to a message you had posted about it which isn't in the archive - but FC appears in the headline, so I imagine you posted to FC and for some reason the reply went to both lists (and of course there is no official FC archive). My recollection is that it started out in the Monday spot, so if the third episode was shown on October 30, then it started either on October 16 (if the two-parter was shown in two halves) or October 23. My money's on October 23, 2000. To date, I think the UK's last Andromeda was season three, which ended in September 2003, probably (from private email correspondence) about the 15th. I presume season four will turn up here eventually, and gather the US is on to season five.
Lexx - steverogerson asked when the videos were coming out in July 1998, which probably implies it had been seen in the UK by then. I know the first episode I saw was Luvliner, ie the second season, but can't precisely date it. I mentioned the final episode as a recent event on May 12, 2002.
