Earplugs probably a good idea for this one. Having escaped the ship taking them to Cygnus Alpha, our heroes go there anyway, and catch the plague. End of story. Or is it?

Hello! I was supposed to be doing in-law errands this morning, but Father In Law wasn't feeling well and has gone back to bed. So here I am! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Brilliant! So good to have you with us, Boss! Likewise! I still need to keep an ear out for the phone in case he changes his mind, but I'm quite relieved at not having to go out shepherding an unsteady 90-yr-old to do complicated bank things in the cold and wet...

Glad to have you here both Travisina and Pilot. Gee, you've been having a rough time Pilot. What a crummy time of year to to be laid low. Glad to hear you've recovered now. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Have we restarted the series? Cygnus Alpha was the 3rd or 4th one in the series.

I always like the way that Leylan and Artix make it into this episode and that the London hasn't just disappeared, never to be see again (except pretending to be something else in a later episode).
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Presumably the (real) London is still doing the same job, transporting miscreants as and when....unless she really was decommissioned and recycled. Maybe because the war changed how things worked?

Hello everyone! Good to see you Travisina. And sorry to hear you've been so ill, Pilot, but glad that you are feeling better now. I'm beginning to think I should go back to the beginning of January and start again. Despite the Christmas break, I'm feeling run down and exhausted, and work seems very challenging just now. Thank goodness for an enjoyable Saturday morning rewatch. |

Avon's powerplay didn't really come off, did it?

She ends up transporting prisoners in Moloch. Actually, the discussion of the ineffectiveness of aquitar trials is relevant to Moloch – nice continuity.

I like the beginning with the London too. And this bit with them trying to work the Liberator (although should't a lot of that have been in last week's episode?) |

Avon's powerplay didn't really come off, did it? A bit half-hearted. And Blake knows it. |

That Blake is such a bossy-britches. What he wants is more important than what anyone else might want. Zealots. Sheesh. They're all the same.

Thank goodness for an enjoyable Saturday morning rewatch. Hi Anne, glad you made it. I've been feeling flattened too. Christmas wasn't exactly a break, but with everyone else on hols at present, it's difficult to get revved up. Hope you get through it. Saturday rewatches are a real saving grace. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

How does 'we've been in space for eight months' work? When on the Liberator it only seems to have been a few days. They must have been on the London for a long time before they rebelled. |

They'd been on the London four months before their 'plan' to escape... before they found the Liberator, so yes, where did the other four months fit in? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The thing that always gets me is, where do they wash their undies? After all, they're wearing the same clothes they left home in. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

This is one of the things that has puzzled fans for years. The times and timings don't add up. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes
