9.30am (UK) / 8.30pm (Australia) Blake's 7's attempt at a 'whodunit', I believe. Will anyone manage to decipher the cryptic message before something explodes? Join us for some jolly japes and crazy capers aboard the good ship Ortega as it drifts aimlessly in space. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

The one where Avon admits to being mathematically inclined and hence not reading the clue properly, which would have made the episode a whole lot shorter had he done so. Like this ep. Hi all. Zoom, zoom Tyce. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Might be running a tad late, trying to race home from the shops. I'm reminded of Forres, saying, "My money's on the woman. Look at that movement. I had a feeling she'd be athletic. Every part a moving part." Come on, Tyce, you can do it! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hello, Obsidian. How's things? I'm fine but friends in Turkey and Syria not so happy. Alive at least, which is the main thing. Phone has been binging and bonging all week. Were meant to get a new cat, too, but that fell through at the last minute. She has to have an operation on her ear. Ouch! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Have you heard from Travisina MsVirn? No. She's still out of the country. (And I hope staying well away from any screens, if she has any sense). Let's just say she sends her apologies. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I was just wondering because she probably would have felt the earthquakes too. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I like this one, although I suppose the 'Avon is cold and logical, therefore he is Sherlock Holmes' conceit is a bit obvious. Still, it's a fun episode. |

Typing this on my new laptop, which was surprisingly easy to set up. Roxy rubbing her face against my hand to try to get me to stroke her instead. |

Will you get the cat after she has recovered from her operation, Obsidian, or has it completely fallen through? |

I think the breeder is concerned about selling an 'imperfect' cat, but we took one from her before and he's just fine. I get all mushy and want to say we'll take both. David will say otherwise.

I know some people like this episode, but it's not great for me. No Servalan, and I've always disliked 'whodunits'. Think I overdid the whole genre by reading all of Sherlock Holmes at an early age. Plus Blake is as useless as always, everyone forgets poor Cally, and the directing makes sure everyone stays within their stereotype, especially Gan. . "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Love Blake's nice Marks and Sparks 'slacks'. PD said he was taken by Barbara Lane to get his trews from M&S.

The first, but not the last, time in Blakes 7 when an apparently hysterical woman turns out to be a killer. |

It's surprising how little Servalan there is in the first series. A tribute to her towering personality that you think that she's everywhere. |

'Mandrian' was the first Judas in JC Superstar on stage in London along with Paul Nicholas as Jesus. Total blast from the past when I discovered this bit of info that I probably knew back in 1972 but had since forgotten.
