45th Anniversary rewatch - D1 Rescue
trevor travis
The episode: Derek One – Rescue (Carry On Space Sea Devil)
The date: Tuesday, October 3rd, 2023
The time: 7.45pm UK time

Before we go any further, it’s time to introduce the Season Derek drinking game:

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

Back to Rescue, and the crew manage to get off Terminal, but not before Cally goes to pieces (sob!). Meanwhile, none of the crew have ever watched the film The Picture of Dorian Gray, as otherwise they would have worked out the plot much, much quicker; a certain blonde lady gunslinger appears for the first time (the Red Dwarf crew are still in constant orbit around a planet which looks like her bottom); and Avon goes bathing (steady!).

Episode in a word: Escape.
Character to cheer: Vila for dragging Tarrant out of the underground complex, which couldn’t have been easy. He would have risked his life again for Cally, had the hatch not closed. He saves the day at the end of the episode as well, albeit in a somewhat drunken stupor.
Character to boo: Avon shows no remorse for the consequences of his actions in the previous episode. I think I preferred Blake’s self-pity and manipulation in “Trial”.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes.
Recognisable Face: Bruno Tonioli (the dead young man that the Sea Devil becomes after its been shot) is very famous in the UK as one of the judges of Strictly Come Dancing.
Best line: “There's something very suspicious about a man who keeps his booze under lock and key.”

Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Space Rent-A-Tribe.
Vote Og.

Tarrant: What was that loud noise?
Avon: I think it was TT's head exploding.

Evening all! Frown

While channel hopping 40+ years ago, I stumbled on a scene of a spaceship taking off and hovering above smoke clouds on BFBS.
About 30 minutes later, I found out that the programme I had been watching was called Blake's 7, which was rather confusing as there were no seven people and no Blake!
Also, we lived at the edge of the reception area, hence the picture quality wasn't that good. At least that made the sea devil look less rubbery.

Hi Everybody!
Seems Terry Nation had a good interest in ancient Greek culture and often used it as a basis for his stories.
As a frequent visitor to Crete (Greece), and school-educated in ancient Greek, I regularly come across archaeological sites and information.
This also includes the reference to the name Dorian:
(copied for you from Wikipedia)
The Dorians were one of the four major ethnic groups into which the Hellenes (or Greeks) of Classical Greece divided themselves (along with the Aeolians, Achaeans, and Ionians). They are almost always referred to as just "the Dorians", as they are called in the earliest literary mention of them in the Odyssey, where they already can be found inhabiting the island of Crete.
Dorian social structure was characterized by a communal social structure and separation of the sexes!
