UK Rewatch - D6 Headhunter
trevor travis
The episode: Derek Six – Headhunter (Carry On, Don’t Your Lose Head) *
The date: Tuesday, November 8th, 2022
The time: 7.45pm UK time

* an actual Carry On film (and it featured Jacqueline Pearce!)

A reminder of the Season Derek drinking game, with one special addition for this episode:

Here’s the number of sips/swigs per each of these:
Avon is knocked unconscious 1
A scientist dies (per scientist) 5
A member of the main cast wears the same costume as last week (per costume) 2
There’s the sequence (or part of the sequence) of Scorpio landing / taking off at Xenon Base 3
Vila drinks something red (per scene) 10
Tarrant falls in love 5
Soolin shoots someone (per person) 5
Slave says “sorry” (each mention) 1
Each mention of “Sleer” 2
Avon laughs manically and/or smiles inappropriately 5
There’s a downbeat ending in sharp contrast to the jangly end theme 10
The final shot of the episode includes Paul Darrow 3
A member of the main cast is killed or stunned (per cast member) 1 bottle of wine / 1 can of beer
Muller’s android bellows: “WHERE IS ORRRRRRRRRRRAC!” (each mention) 3

Back to a really fun episode, which was also the inspiration to the Where’s Wally series of books. Also, Muller decides to build an android – he should have stuck to his yoghurt business, because he sets a new record in dying as a scientist.

Episode in a word: Android.
Character to cheer: Soolin really shines from this episode onwards. She’s terrific here, with her dry sense of episode, be it finding Vila hiding in a cupboard, or keeping Orac from the Muller android. Also fair play to Avon, who isn’t prepared to let Vila and Tarrant die.
Character to boo: Orac for the opposite reason to Avon – the cold-hearted lump of plastic is quite willing to sacrifice Vila and Tarrant.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes.
Recognisable Face: Lynda Bellingham (Vena) is perhaps the most famous face ever to appear in Blake’s 7 – of course, she was the Oxo Mum! (she also appeared in Doctor Who, but that’s nowhere near as impressive).
Best exchange: ORAC: “Join us, Soolin. We can fulfil your every desire.” SOOLIN: “You wouldn't know where to start.”

Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Killing Piri.”
Vote Og.

Og's dead and there's no way around it.
Muller lost his head, but Avon found it.
The android gets loose and starts acting obtuse,
But he can't cross the bridge if you ground* it.

*Earth it, if you're not American, but that doesn't rhyme.

Does Tarrant manage not to crash in this episode? Is anyone nice to Vila? (BTW, Avon's hair is looking very fluffy tonight.)

Hello everyone. Rather a depressing class tonight - numbers way down. But I've got my sherry, and some giant corn (barbecue flavour), so I'm set.
