Rewatch Downunder Saturday 8th August City at the Edge of the World

C5 City at the Edge of the World In which Vila finally gets to be the star of the show, unless you count the cameo by the inimitable Colin Baker. Despite this being Vila's big moment, he doesn't spend most of it asleep, as another of our heroes did. Instead he manages to save a whole race of people, although he does lose the girl. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

She’s always telling me she’s unwell and needs help until I get there - then all of a sudden she’s fighting it and wants to go out to restaurants for lunch and dinner…..

This new chappie, Tarrant, is that his name? He's being a rat to Vila. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Never argue with a computer, you’ll lose every time. I’m good, thanks. How are you? All OK here. The weather here is back to sensible temperatures, and a few showers now and then. It makes everything so much nicer, The south of the UK still seems to be overheating. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Admin Posts: 15914 Joined: 14.01.22	This can't be one of my favourite episodes because of the lack of Servalan, and while Bayban almost makes up for that absence, there nowhere near enough of him. Such a good character. Wish we'd had more episodes with him (although if we'd had both him and Servalan together something would probably explode). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

When was this? It doesn't sound like any recent weather around here. 14 August 1979. When they started filming the outdoor scenes for this episode. PS. And when I was probably getting slightly hysterical about getting my Honours thesis typed. Edited by Obsidian on 08-08-2026 10:00 Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

This is one of my favourite episodes - I'm not a huge Vila fan, but he needed this - he saves a civilisation, gets the girl (at least temporarily), defeats the villain, gets much needed parts for the Liberator, gets and apology from Tarrant and impresses Avon - and he's still not happy!

Well, the inhabitants of this place look to be wanting to turn on, tune in, drop out. Return to Nature etc, so the drab gear seems suitable. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
