UK Rewatch - D1 Rescue (Tuesday, September 29th)
trevor travis
Yay, we’ve been reprieved for another season (thank you Mr Continuity Announcer and also Bill Cotton), which means 13 more episodes of jolly japes and fun.

The episode: Derek One – Rescue (Carry On Space Sea Devil)
The date: Tuesday, September 29th, 2026
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.

It’s 19:45 Earth Standard Time, and here is the news from Earth Dome One. I am your in-studio reporter, Lee R. Pantsonfire.

Our top story tonight, President Servalan has been deposed. Yes, President Servlan, who seized power during the Galactic War, has herself been deposed in fighting around the Presidential palace. Servalan herself remains missing, as she was away from Earth at the time. This follows a pattern of her spending more time chasing Kerr Avon than performing her presidential duties.

In other news, a recall has been issued for certain vintage Wanderer Class planet hoppers due to faulty navi computers.

In liu of our usual 20:00 movie we will have a special presentation of Strictly Come Dancing, featuring Bruno, followed by a classic Episode of the Renegade Time Lord starring in The Sea Devils.**

**TT will explain later.

Hopefully your snacks haven't been stolen by a ruthless band of desperadoes this week.

Oh, too late!

Hi All,
I'm sorry, I can't join you this rewatch, I've been invited to a party, but I will be thinking of poor Cally and cheer for Vila because he's the hero again.
Littlesue, keep an eye out for Avon's bathing scene! (and tell me all about it later)
And will there appear a good-looking gunslinger lady for someone to mention every suitable moment?
Have fun! And see you next time!
*No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

I'll explain now - it's Avon. It explains how his hairstyle changes in Series Derek. He washes it while bathing.

Certainly...I'll throw some over now. Aldi, by the way, have changed the packaging design.

I agree. Takes too long to reboot, and things get a bit silly (Animals). Still, it has its moments, B7 wouldn't be B7 without Orbit and Blake.
