45th Anniversary rewatch - A13 Orac

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? Vote Og.

Fingers crossed. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo!

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...... Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

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!!! Cold!
