The episode: Barney Eleven – Gambit (Carry On Space Gambling) The date: Tuesday, June 13th, 2023 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which Blake’s continuing attempts to find Star One are completely overshadowed by: (1) Avon and Vila going on a gambling spree with the help of baby Orac, (2) Servie as the Lady In Red, (3) Travis, who seems to be playing a wronged hero from a western. Now, where’s my chess set? Episode in a word: OTT. Characters to cheer: The Lady In Red. Servie is simply wonderful in the hands of Robert Holmes – pass that dictionary! Krantor and Toise are a great double act, while Avon and Vila trying to play innocent in the final scene is a hoot. Even the minor characters in this are terrific, such as the sadistic Klute, the scene-stealing Croupier, and of course, Servie's rather thick powder puff. Character to boo: Blake for not killing Travis at the end – a decision that nearly ended in the galaxy being conquered by non-hairy aliens. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Faces: Aubrey Woods (Krantor) played the Controller in “Day Of The Daleks”, a Doctor Who serial from 1972. In that he's also under silver make-up. I’m sure I also recognise the voice of John Leeson (Toise) from somewhere. If he said “Master” or “Mistress”, it might help me remember where from! Let's ask Pasco if he knows. Best line: “When the Federation finally cleans out this cesspit, I shall have that vulpine degenerate eviscerated with a small and very blunt knife.” Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Space Camping Vote Og.

Always such a good introduction to these rewatches, what with the Soolin report, Brad's dry wit and Huggy's excellent cartoons. Great stuff, guys! Sadly I will have to miss this one: it's our Stage Society's AGM tonight and since I'm Secretary I sort of need to be there, really. Wish me luck - I'll try to resign again, but as yet nobody else seems to want the job. Have fun, everyone. See you next time. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Well, I am here this week. Last week, my demon dog barked about 15 minutes before play. Just one short, sharp bark...that went reverberating around my head...I know, I am a delicate little flower. Lots of laffs in this episode and the dog is taking my brother for a walk. It can't get any better... unless I had some of littlesue's malted milk biccies and strawberry milkshake...

The Croupier! What a role! I think it's fabulous camp as is the whole episode.

I always wonder if Toise's headgear was the inspiration for the traditional Centauri hairdo. |

Krantor's false eyelash sticks to his heavy make up here. And Servalan- her make up was put on with a trowel it seems.

My goodness, Servie, what a dress! ...that she is in danger of falling out of! Body tape was already in use to prevent that. But I doubt if Jacks was in for using it. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*
