UK Rewatch - B1 Redemption
trevor travis
The episode: Barney One - Redemption (Carry On Space Astronomer)
The date: Tuesday, April 5th, 2022
The time: 7.45pm UK time

In which it becomes clear that Avon is a fan of “The Sky At Night” with Patrick Moore; Blake has a close run-in with a deadly coil; everyone has new, shiny costumes thanks to June Hudson; and it turns out that Blake hasn’t been keeping up the Hire Purchase payments on the Liberator and its owners want it back.

Episode in a word: System.
Characters to cheer: The two Altas, in their very tight blue catsuits.
Characters to boo: Avon, for his extreme smugness at the start of the episode. It’s almost as if he’s borrowed Kryten’s smug mode. And Orac, for not telling them what he’s up to.
Recognisable Face: Shelia Ruskin (Alta One) appeared in a Doctor Who story (The Keeper Of Traken) a couple of years later. She played Kassia, step-mum of companion-to-be Nyssa, and wife of Tremas, whose body is snatched by the Master. She didn’t wear a very tight blue catsuit in that, though.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Best exchange: VILA: “I've got this shocking pain right behind the eyes.” AVON: “Have you considered amputation?”

Blake's 7 will return… Carry on Space Mafia
Vote Og.

While Avon explains the astronomy.
Blake gets an electric lobotomy.
Jenna’s offer to cuddle with Avon’s a muddle.
But Orac fulfills his own prophecy.

Ah, I take it you are going to a library to see that band, the back of a book to which the sections are sewn, and have a good read!

Maybe Blake should look for a big switch labeled 'Explode / Don't Explode' and make sure it's in the right position.

Are the space shots supposed to be different galaxies or solar systems?

Where was Avon hiding then?

Blake: Do you think you could forget your superiority complex for a moment?

Avon: No, I don't think I could.
