Rewatch Downunder Saturday 29th April B5 Pressure Point

In which some idiots get themselves locked into a ruined building, some other idiots watch Feds shoot them, a teacher realises that nothing of what she said ever got through (what else is new?) and Servalan is, as always, ultra cool. Mostly because she doesn't want to dislodge her Hat. Character to cheer: the Hat. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I do miss them, but Sat mornings are now mostly running-around-doing-errands-for-the-inlaws. Although today will be sweetened by lunch afterwards with a friend, and a Pokemon Community event in the afternoon. And the sun is shining! Enjoy (?) this episode. It's one of my faves, and not just because of the Hat, Ms Virn! It's such powerful drama all the way through, culminating in the tragic result of Blake's hubris. This and the whole story arc - rare for 1970s TV outside soaps / period drama - is one of the reasons Series 2 is my favourite of the 4. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Travisina, Series 2 is my favourite as well – more depth, more evolved characterisation, etc. etc. Enjoy your afternoon! Now, where were we? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Solution to shed incumbant: get a cat? I have a cat, and I think the rat keeps its distance in the summer accordingly. But she doesn't go out much in the winter. I'm feeling OK I think, although I still have an annoying cough.
