Rewatch Downunder Saturday 10th June 2023 B11 Gambit

Some OTT costumes and the 'party' atmosphere create a visually memorable episode, while retaining the traditional plot holes and inconsistencies we find so fascinating. The one and only time Servalan wears red. Worth watching just for that. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

That's over three weeks without rain. Yes, that would be hectic. I heard the radio from Oxford earlier warning of the heat – a whole 31 degrees. It's last year's 41 you don't want. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

How's your winter coming on? Not so much fun but not really bad. We had early snow in the mountains which then got washed away by rain. Too bad for the early start to the ski season.

I suspect that what it's saying is that the BBC had recently done an earnest drama set in Palestine, and had the outfits in their costume department.
