The episode: Albert Ten – Breakdown (Carry On Space Doctor) The date: Tuesday, March 7th, 2023 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which David Jackson was promised a starring role only for a rewrite to leave Gan unconscious for most of the episode with just nine lines of dialogue (I think Supreme Commander has copies of the original draft script of “The Invaders” if you come across her at a convention – I’m sure that’s where I got my copy); Avon considers leaving the Libby crew (SPOILERS: Don’t panic Avon ladies – he doesn’t); and the brilliant Julian Glover appears as the eponymous Space Doctor. Episode in a word: Limiter. Character to cheer: Renor, for actually noticing the ladies on the Liberator are rather attractive. Character to boo: Kayn, for trying to delay the operation to nice, cuddly Gan. Mind you, nice cuddly Gan turns out to be rather nasty while his limiter is malfunctioning. Well, I hope that’s the case, and that’s not Gan’s real ‘unlimited’ personality. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Face: Julian Glover (Kayn) was Scaroth The Jagaroth in perhaps the greatest Doctor Who serial of all-time, City Of Death (some ginger bloke was also in that story). Glover was also in The Empire Strikes Back, where he got the wrong side of Darth Vader. Best exchange: AVON: “Blake, in the unlikely event that we survive this... I'm finished. Staying with you requires a degree of stupidity of which I no longer feel capable.” BLAKE: “Now, you're just being modest.” Blake's 7 will return in... Carry On Space Pirates. Vote Og.

 Jenna: You know what that is, don't you? Blake: Of course, we know what that is. Vila: It's a big orange swirly thing in space. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

Huggy's depiction of the limiter reminds me of circuit diagrams we used to draw in physics.

I'm so glad that the kettle was in the kitchen boiling away with my mug of hot choccie awaiting said hot water...cos I didn't ruin yet another keyboard. I too love the limiter. It looks so cute. Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

At first I really liked Gan. But this episode made me wonder about his personality pre-limiter. Was he a Psychopath? Or was the malfunction of the limiter severely affecting him? Its one of those unanswered questions which make Blakes 7 such an interesting series.
I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

At first I really liked Gan. But this episode made me wonder about his personality pre-limiter. That is the question that has spawned many a fan fic. Is the limiter malfunctioning and causing Gan's violent behavior, or has it merely ceased to function, allowing Gan unrestrained access to his dark side? And... there is Gan's backstory. Do we really believe Gan killed a Federation officer and was arrested, rather than shot on sight? Edited by Brad on 07-03-2023 19:34 . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

Just getting ready. Hot tea, biccies and choccie plus my nice Snuggy hooded blanket. The temperature is dropping quite quickly here on the South Coast
