UK Rewatch - D3 Traitor
trevor travis
The episode: Derek Three – Traitor (Carry On Trooper Orac)
The date: Tuesday, October 18th, 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 (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 Traitor, and we have a big mystery folks. Someone is going around in outrageous clothing like Servie used to wear, destroying portraits of Servie, and speaking in a deep, husky version of Servie’s voice. Just who could it be? Also, the Liberator wardrobe was clearly made of herculanium, survived in one piece, and landed on Helotrix. Oh, and we have a rebellion going on in the episode – although it’s not Avon’s lot, of course. After all, he’s already saved Teal and Vandor in “Death-Watch”, placing him ahead of Blake in number of planets saved.

Episode in a word: Suppressants.
Characters to cheer: Pretty much any of the supporting characters, especially the Federation officers. A combination of the superb writing of Robert Holmes and some top-notch acting from the guest cast.
Character to boo: Trooper Orac shows once again, while he might be able to take over other computers, he’s also a bit thick.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Oui.
Recognisable Face: Christopher Neame (Colonel Quute) was Skagra, the lead baddie in the 1979 Doctor Who serial “Shada”. Sadly, for Neame and the rest of the cast, a strike might the serial was never completed. But it’s seen plenty the light of day in many forms over the years.
Best exchange: VILA: “Blake would have been proud of you, you know.” AVON: “I know, but then he never was very bright.”

Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Space Petrol Heads.”
Vote Og.

She must return sooner or later,
As Dayna still hasn't repaid her.
And since she's not thrifty with her Pylene Fifty,
It's hard to see just who's the traitor.

Just getting ready. Tea, biccies and choccie all from my brand new kitchen, now almost finished with only the last bit of work to be done by Dearest..tiling, painting, putting in a few extra shelves...and then I need to sit down and work out how all these new appliances work...I wonder if there is a rather nice computer expert around who could decode the instruction booklet for the dishwasher?........
Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!
Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Yet another remarkably lifelike representation, Huggy. Great stuff.
Sue - glad to hear your kitchen is almost complete. However, I am reminded of the saying, "If a man says he'll do something, he'll do it. He doesn't need reminding every six months".
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hello everyone. I seem to be desperate to watch series 3 again. Luckily I remembered the title of the ep we are watching. Think I may use a book mark.

The mid-teleport costume change may be funny; but the choice of recycled costumes is rather frustrating. Of all the countless previous costumes, they used Vinni's drab one for Dayna... as if there hadn't been better options. Like Avalon's, for instance...

Kind of like how Batman and Robin change clothes while sliding down a pole.

Just made it. Hello everyone! Looking forward to all those posh Federation officers scarfing down those asparagus spears! Gosh, I hope they didn't have to do more than one take- it could go disastrously. ..
