Rewatch Downunder Saturday 1st July C1 Aftermath
M1795537OCVirn
One of my personal favourites...I think you can guess why. For me the best exchange has to be

S: I shall need a gun
A: There is only one
S: I only want one

It's all about her timing, really, isn't it?

There is much more to like as well. For once, kissing Avon doesn't result in death, and although Orac gets knocked about a bit, that carrying case pays for itself. The 'missing' aren't missed much while some horses enjoy a day at the seaside.

Hello . Just having the usual argument with my disc player before it finally gives in and does what I asked in the first place. How's things downunder?
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
Obsidian
Things in this bit of downunder are frazzled. Just let me finish costing something...please!
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Fine, as long as it doesn't cost me anything. Good to know you're there, in fact.

Obsidian
Phew! That's done. Working out the cost of things when I'm calculating international exchange rates is NOT my favourite thing.

Shall we start now that that is out of the way? How are things Lake-side?

Whoa! Something's different. They've changed the intro. I wonder why that is?

Yes, let's start. It's damp and drizzly here on the shores of Windermere. Normal July weather, in fact.

Why does one of the alien craft look like Space City?

Maybe they lost the original intro and had to cobble sonething together quickly?

That doesn't sound much fun. Was it like that last year before you left for Forever Avon?

Hello. Here on time for once. I'm in the middle of a very complicated job application, so nice to have some Blake's 7 to start the day off with. I like this episode too - and it definitely ends on a high note Grin . Plus, it's where I started watching as a teenager, so there's a sort of relaxing into familiarity.

If he knows Star One is destroyed, why does he still expect his communications to work?

And maybe something else has changed. Why isn't Blake featured in the intro???

Is it not Space City, firing back at the aliens?

Because then they would have to pay Gareth Thomas.

Golly, that seems so long ago. Can't remember what the weather was like here, but it was HOT in Steventon! It was so good to meet you there.

Avon looks very sexy when he's unconscious.

Hi AnneA. Job applications are not a fun thing to do. Some B7 ought to help ease you into the day.

Hello, Anne! Is the job complicated, or just the application, or both? Good luck with it, anyway,

This one wants a teaching plan, a research proposal, a video of me teaching, and a statement of how I will align with the values of Durham University (I've never known a university do that before, although I'm told that it's normal for companies) - basically, the moon on a stick. Hope your preparations for Europe are going well.

It was good to meet you + Justin + dog there as well. Couldn't believe the heat.

Cold and cloudy here too, and there's been as much rain in the last week as in the previous 3-4. Hard to think that there was a heatwave only a week ago.

Durham's a great place. Did a Summer School there once. They're just trying to weed out the less serious applicants, I expect.

But everything is run as a business now because unis are run by bean counters with endless MBAs. They really only want to know how you are going to make them money, so you have to stress how your brilliance will bring in countless fee-paying students. Postgraduates are the preference because unis get more for them. It's why everyone these days has a PhD: unis get paid more for them.
