The episode: Derek Two – Power (Carry On Space Rent-A-Tribe) The date: Tuesday, October 11th, 2022 The time: 7.45pm UK time A reminder of 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 2 (per costume) 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 the episode, in which a certain blonde lady gunslinger disappears for the opening 45 minutes. Where could she be? A big clue is that I’ve found a long, lost document that reveals the original working title of this episode was “Power Shower”, but after the directive that Season Derek episodes all needed to be a single word (to fit on the graphics), the second half of that title was lost and discarded and only found by me on a scrap of paper found in the underground room under Xenon Base. Therefore, we can confirm the theory in the Maximum Power book that a certain blonde lady gunslinger spends those 45 minutes having a lengthy, hot, steamy, sexy shower involving plenty of soap and… (STEADY!). Anyway, back to other events in this episode – Avon keeps on getting knocked unconscious (perhaps sustaining brain damage) and Vila contemplates a life living on nuts and berries, while there’s a somewhat subversive Battle Of The Sexes going on, as we learn never to judge a book by its cover. Episode in a word: Moobs. Character to cheer: Gunn Sar is wonderfully played by Dicken Ashworth and behind all the bluster and those Moobs, he turns out to be a great, big softie, who loves his wife and does needlework. Character to boo: On the other hand, Pella turns out to be a thoroughly nasty piece of work who kills own her friend. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: See above (BTW the answer is yes!). Recognisable Face: Juliet Hammond-Hill (Pella) also turned up in an episode of “Only Fools And Horses” a couple of years later in 1983, in which she played an attractive art collector. The character is almost exactly the same as Pella in that we’re supposed to be taken in by her beauty, only for her to turn out to be up to no good. Best exchange: GUNN SAR: “What's the tally of challenges?” CATO: “Twenty-five dead and one missing, sir.” GUNN SAR: “Oh, come on, Cato. Don't quibble. Marquin fell backwards off the cliff.” CATO: “Yes, sir.” GUNN SAR: “So he's dead. Like, you can't say someone's missing as such. Not when they've taken a dive into a bottomless gorge.” CATO: “No sir.” GUNN SAR: “So, it's twenty-six dead.” CATO: “The council ruled it was twenty-five, sir, and one missing.” GUNN SAR: [to Avon] “Twenty-five men lie dead who tried to stand against me. And one, if he's not still falling, is no more than a greasy spot on the rocks, right?” AVON: “Impressive.” GUNN SAR: “You killed two men.” AVON: “If I'd known we were keeping score, I would have brought more ammunition.” Blake's 7 will return in... “Carry On Trooper Orac.” Vote Og.

When it comes down to war 'twixt the sexes, Know that Seskas are better with hexes. Their mental attacks take Avon aback, While Gun Sar just flexes his Pecs-es. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

Apparently there is a cure for a headache in Aftermath, so it may be your lucky day. Although you may want to wait to see what happens to Pella after she attempts that cure... Vote Og.

Hello TT, Brad and littlesue. At least spilling the tea didn't damage your new shiny KITCHEN, Sue? Is it in? Is it finished? Are you pleased wiith it? It is ALMOST finished. Just the splash back, lights, utility room (with washing machine and tumble dryer to go back in) and then to bring everything in from the shed, garage and behind the summer house. I am going to have so much fun filling up all the cupboards!!! Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Still, just in case I shall get the tea, biccies and choccie ready... I poured me a nice drop of Highland Park so that I don't have to endure this sober. The good news is, it's the last of the Ben Steed episodes.  The bad news is, it's a Ben Steed episode.  |

The good news is, it's the last of the Ben Steed episodes. The bad news is, it's a Ben Steed episode. If Ben Steed had written Game of Thrones it would have ended at the end of S1 with Ned Stark reforming Cersei with ha strong kiss. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |
