Starting times: 7.30pm Downunder, 10.30am UK. D1 Rescue Well, not so much a rescue as pinching someone else's ship and making off with it. And pinching someone else's story idea as well. Sorry, Oscar. Turns out Servalan (cleverly) left a few little extras on Terminal, none of them healthy options for anyone who stayed there. A passing salvage merchant (or so he says) turns up just in time to save the day. Not that he intended to. And it doesn't end well for him at all. Featuring The Sea Creature That Time Forgot. But not Blake or Jenna. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Just a reminder, Aussie clocks change tonight. So next week Aussies we’ll be watching at 8:30 pm. |

Thanks for that update, Tyce. I was wondering when the change would happen. Our clocks change on 25th October, so it's quite a big difference between hemispheres.

But not Blake or Jenna. I think you’ve got it wrong Virn. What actually happens is…. Blake and Jenna return and ‘salvage’ another ship. They cleverly avoid the ‘little extras’ that Servalan left on Terminal. Then they kill ‘the Sea Creature’ which is the reason for Servalan life force therefore by killing it they kill her. And with her death they have automatically destroyed the Federation and they therefore live happily ever after. :-) |

Hi MsVirn, Tyce. How are you? What horrors have befallen our heroes while I was indisposed? I'm here for now, but might not be a b it later as we have a guest. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

G'day, Obsidian. Hope you're able to stay with us today. I think the rebels-without-a-cause are going to need all the help they can get.

Hello everyone! Do we have an episode to watch? I thought it ended last week with Liberator gone, Zen gone, Blake dead on Jevron and our heroes living out their best lives as hunter-gatherers. |

I keep hoping someone's going to say that to me - 'Don't you ever get tired of being right?' so that I can say the other bit, but as yet, no luck.

I'd've liked to have seen the hunter-gatherer scenario. How are you Joe? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Welcome back, Tyce. I tried to lure you back to the rewatch with this pic but it didn't work. Don't worry though, your character was played by a Russian lady. |

Oh, no, again! Where is Liberator! What's happened to Cally?????? They all seem decidedly NOT HAPPY. It looks cold and miserable as well.

Slave's voice sounds softer than what it is in later episodes. Or perhaps I'm remembering the times when it was surly. |

Hello everyone. Sorry to hear you've been ill, Obsidian. And I hope the new machine does what it's meant to. I have just spent an insane amount on a new boiler (well, not an insance amount for a new boiler, but they are expensive). But it is nice to have hot water again! I know the Liberator is The Ship, but I always have a soft spot for Scorpio. |

On a filthy day in Oxfordshire...one wonders what the rest of the Oxon residents thought of having to put up with the snow so that Blake's 7 could film in it.

Does anyone else think that the steps and railings on Scorpio look not unlike the steps and railings in the final ep? It always strikes me like that, that first time I see them.
