"Horizon" - Avon saves everyone from the mines & has some great lines

"Hostage" - Travis holds Blake's cousin, Inga, hostage
"Countdown" - Avon meets Del Grant, the brother of his dead girlfriend & heroically (aah!) saves him and a planet from Certain Death. (NB. When the show was originally released on video, each video tape held 2 episodes. Tape 11 (Hostage & Countdown) is the only one where in both episodes all the guest star good guys don't die!

"Powerplay" - Avon regains control of Liberator by joining forces with Tarrant. Vila & Cally narrowly avoid being used for spare part surgery
"Volcano" - ridiculous plot ending in stalemate between Liberator & Servalan and a planet blowing itself up
"Dawn of the Gods" - another deeply absurd plot where they fall into a black hole & are captured by the Thaarn, who falls in love with Cally! (NB. It was only worth buying Video No. 15 containing Volcano & Dawn of the Gods because otherwise the nice picture of the Season 3 crew on the video tape spines would have been incomplete and looked odd on your shelves!)
"Harvest of Kairos" - the crew are marooned on a planet full of unbelievably tacky giant ants, but Avon tricks Servalan and they get back to Liberator
“City at the Edge of the World" - Bayban the Butcher, played by Colin Baker, blows up a planet and Vila meets Kerrill and saves the day. Kerrill falls in love with Vila after some unseen recreational activity on the transporter. Bayban dies, Kerrill doesn't!
"Children of Auron" - in a supreme example of 'overkill', Servalan destroys the planet Auron in another attempt to capture Liberator. Cally finds her sister Zelda - she dies. Servalan makes some clone babies which also die!
"Rumours of Death" - Avon meets up with his lost love Anna Grant, and kills her!
"Sarcophagus" - fantasy episode where Cally is taken over by an alien but Avon kisses her and defeats the alien (better than it sounds!)
"Ultraworld" - Vila defeats the giant brain planet by telling it bad jokes. Cally is taken over again. (As bad as it sounds!)
"Moloch" - Avon outmanoeuvres a glove puppet and Vila finds a friend. He dies! The glove puppet dies too.
"Death-Watch" - Tarrant finds his long-lost brother just in time to see him killed in combat. Avon gets to kiss Servalan again, but doesn't enjoy it quite as much
"Terminal" - Avon flies Liberator through some green slime looking for Blake. Zen dies. (Sob!)
SERIES 4:
"Rescue" - Dorian rescues the crew from Terminal & tries to kill them. He dies! Cally is killed on Terminal but we meet Soolin.

“Traitor" - Servalan loses the Presidency and her name, Tarrant & Dayna save some rebels
"Star Drive" - the Scorpio gets new engines from the Space Rats. Who?
"Animals" - Dayna meets her old tutor, falls in love, out again, in again and then he dies! Voted worst ever episode in innumerable polls!
"Headhunter" - Orac joins forces with a headless android and calls Avon 'Master'. Avon is nice to someone. She dies!
"Assassin" - Servalan buys Avon in the slave market and wants to be his Mistress(!). Tarrant falls in love with a crab. She dies!
"Games" - they look for Feldon crystals and play computer games with Belkov. He dies.
"Sand" - Servalan/Sleer finds her old love but he is dead, so she makes friends with Tarrant, surrounded by vampire sand
"Gold" - Avon meets another old friend but doesn't kill him. (Yes, really!!) But Servalan kills him and makes lots of money
"Orbit" - Avon plays hide and seek on the Orbit shuttle & Vila vows to go on a diet!
