45th Anniversary rewatch - A13 Orac
trevor travis
The episode: Albert Thirteen – Orac (Carry On By The Seaside)
The date: Tuesday, March 28th, 2023
The time: 7.45pm UK time

In which the crew and Servalan and Travis finds themselves in a race to get hold of a talking fish called Orac (nice bit of misdirection there, Mr. Lorrimer); Avon’s extended playing of rockets in the last episode has given most of the crew radiation sickness (and he didn’t even get to show Meegat his rock collection); Blake decides to keep a captain’s log for one week only; Travis has flat feet, while Vila gets a wet one; and the season ends with a bang!

Episode in a word: Orac (the episode title nails it!).
Character to cheer: Old Ensor is wonderfully bad-tempered and eccentric.
Character to boo: Blake, for wasting time by trying to block the passageway, instead of getting Ensor back to the Liberator ASAP.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Recognisable Face: Derek Farr (Ensor The Elder) appeared in the opening episode of the New Avengers as a Nazi. Not too long before this. He also had an impressive filmography, including films such as the Dam Busters.
Best exchange: BLAKE: “Good shot, Avon.” AVON: “I was aiming for his head.”

Blake's 7 will return… or will it?

Nah, the best exchange is
"I'll go first, shall I?'
"No, Travis, you will follow me.~
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Ah, yes, that would be a favourite for the Servie fans!

All morning I will be at the dentist.... so if I get back to work in the early afternoon (rewatch 13:45 my time), and the person filling in for me flew through the big pink cloud rather than going around, I may not be able to join in....

Fingers crossed.

Brilliant triffids, Huggy!

Hope the dentist appointment goes well, Brad.

Dear Mr Huggy
Fortunately seeing Mr TT's icon on the thread forewarned me that you were both being sneaky...but this time it appears that Paula snuck in! Anyway, being forewarned is forearmed so there was nothing surrounding my precious keyboard!!
But now I'm thinking of those poor little fishies, all alone in that tank about to be devoured by some evil minded plants. I shall be having nightmares now......AngryFrown

I can imagine Ensor creating triffids. It's just the sort of thing he'd do...

Speaking of Mr Farr, I watched The Dam Busters over the weekend, and yes, there he was, looking very smart in his uniform.
Then last week, he was in a film with William Hartnell and Peter Lorre. Along with Robert Beatty, our Mr Farr seems to be all over Talking Pictures!!!
