The episode: Derek Seven – Assassin (Carry On Killing Piri) The date: Tuesday, November 15th, 2022 The time: 7.45pm UK time A reminder of the Season Derek drinking game, with one special addition for this episode: 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 Caroline Holdaway is terrible in a scene 8 Back to the episode, and Avon comes up with a plan so bad that Blake would have been proud of it, and then he and Tarrant proceed to see which one can act more stupidly. Also, shock, horror, no scientists were harmed in the making of this episode. Or does the First Doctor count, since he dies in this episode? And ladies, get those Vems ready, because there’s a slave auction coming up which may involve a certain computer expert. But, more than anything, this is an episode that is all about our favourite female gunslinger. The episode title even makes two references to her bottom. Episode in a word: Assassin (yup an episode which does exactly what it says on the tin). Character to cheer: Soolin. Definitely Soolin. In this episode, she is looking lovely (hooray!), slaps Piri (hooray!), works out the plot (hooray!), saves Avon's life (hooray!), kills Piri (a huge HOORAY!!!) and has the last word (hooray!). Character to boo: Piri. No further explanation necessary! Is Soolin looking lovely this week: See “Character to Cheer”. Recognisable Face: Richard Hundrall (Neebrox) played the First Doctor in The Five Doctors in 1983. His casting seems to have come about after JNT saw him in this and decided he could pull off being William Hartnell. Best exchange: “TARRANT: “Domo the ninth?” VILA: “Son of Domo the Eighth, presumably.” Blake's 7 will return in “Carry Up The Quarry Yet Again.” Vote Og.

I really don't mean to be picky here. For the plot just could not be trickier. As Tarrant's rejected the truth is detected, But why are The Doctor and Vicki here?

And speaking of Revenge of the Surfboarding etc.: Several years before B7, li'l Hugbot (aged 12) already used the 'genius' doll plot in one of his... ummm... 'comic strips'. Stand back in amazement when you see the following cleaned up (*) excerpt from the gripping 6th instalment (Mutiny!) of Star Path: I especially like the straw texture on the doll...  (*) Yes, the original drawing is even worse! |

Hi, all. Sorry to hear you're not at your best Orac v Zen. Get well soon! Li'l Hugbot clearly had talent. When do we get to see Parts 1 - 5? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Did you solve the mystery? Yes... as bizarre as this sounds it needs a certain part which is on back order, that is unavailable... because it's produced in a factory in Wuhan! Car works but can't go faster than 50mph because it's now in limp mode. Stardrive won't be hitting warp factor then! |

Li'l Hugbot clearly had talent. When do we get to see Parts 1 - 5? Never. While the drawings are bad enough, the whole Star Path saga (all 54 and a half episodes of 4 pages each) also doesn't make any sense at all. |
