UK Rewatch - D9 Sand

Episode in a word: Lovers. Character to cheer: Servie. This episode shows her at her most vulnerable, unless she was manipulating Tarrant throughout, which is a very real possibility. Character to boo: We asked Dayna Mellanby for her thoughts on this one, and she suggested Del Tarrant. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. Recognisable Faces: Stephen Yardley (Reeve) went on to play Ken Masters in “Howard’s Way”. Meanwhile, Daniel Hill (Chasgo) was one of the lead characters in the 1990s comedy “Waiting For God”, although he’s been in just about everything. Best exchange: SERVALAN: “Oh, Tarrant. I'm just the girl next door.” TARRANT: “If you were the girl next door, I'd move.” SERVALAN: “Where would you move to, Tarrant?” TARRANT: “Next door.” Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Photocopying.” Vote Og.
