The girls mind the ship as usual, while Blake is 'forced to kill' the helpful Federation officer who gives him the information he asked for. There's rebel gratitude for you!. Sadly, the Supreme Commander does not make an apearance this week as she is busy preparing her wardrobe for the next seven episodes. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Sunny, warm and dry....the merry month of May at its best. And so to Countdown. Is this your favourite episode? Care to say why? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

This is not my favourite but I still like it a lot. That's despite dumb things like rockets sitting horizontally in cradles inside rooms... Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Hi Pilot. Right on time! Sorry to hear that you've got slipped discs on top of everything else. Hope you're feeling relaxed for this episode. Started! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I think Vila's the only one ever to point out that ORAC may have all the answers but no hands to carry them out. Keep up the physiotherapy! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I think the fascination is purely a result of his link with Avon. But Tom Chadbon does have a very distinctive voice, which makes him notable. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Obviously I am immune to this charm - I was just thinking what a dull voice he has! Although it would be interesting to speculate how Rumours of Death would have gone with him around.

I'm in the process of getting a new website built. Like the present one, it's proving to be a pain. Avon's line "I relied on other people" comes to mind often.
