The episode: Colin Two – Powerplay (Carry On Space Nurse) The date: Tuesday, July 11th, 2023 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which the new curly-haired chap makes his first full appearance; Avalon has a new occupation and she dupes Vila, as he and Cally nearly become a bunch of spare parts; and Dayna shows how deadly she is, by killing a man with her knee and then throttling Mr Bronson… er, sorry… Section Leader Klegg to death. Episode in a word: Convergence (the convergence of two separate A and B plots in the final few minutes – classic Terry Nation!). Characters to cheer: Dayna continues to be rather wonderful. And Tarrant’s first full hour is one of his best - he’s a smart cookie and we’re left guessing to which side he’s on for most of the episode. Character to boo: No-one is that dislikeable here, while I refuse to include Mr Bronson... er, sorry… Section Leader Klegg. But Vila is rather gullible, to say the least – although it’s no surprise and rather in character when he gets taken in by a pretty face or two. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Face: Michael Sheard (Klegg) has been in just about everything: Star Wars, Doctor Who, you name it. But, of course, he played the evil creature in the universe… Mr Bronson in Grange Hill. The most scary teacher ever. It says much for the supreme acting talents of Michael Sheard, that within a few weeks, the whole nation was after his blood (following the death of pupil Danny Kendall) and then felt sorry that the old boy was leaving teaching after he turned a new leaf in the wake of Kendall’s death. They don’t make them like Michael Sheard any more. And in case you’re wondering from where you remember John Hollis (Lom) – it could well be Flash Gordon! Best line: “I'm not very good with pain. It's not that I'm a coward or anything. It's just that I have a very low pain threshold. Hardly a threshold at all, actually.” Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Flashing Vote Og.

![]() You do not have to explain to me about communicators. I used to work for Lando Calrissian on Cloud City. For those new to the game, this is, in fact, the same actor. Edited by Brad on 08-07-2023 15:38 . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

I won't be with you for this one. It is my Garden Club Meeting. I hope you all will watch out for Vila and Cally. I dont want them to end as spare parts!! I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

Won’t be able to make it today, I’m afraid; I’m feeling a bit under the weather. Say goodbye to my favorite costume of the show for me (Avon’s silver jacket)!

Evening all! ![]() I'm sure there must be something in the German water for Mr Huggy's humour to reach such heights. I think it is not so much the influence of German water but of German beer. |

Hello again, you rebels. Sorry to hear you're not feeling too good, OVZ and NTG. Get well soon! Hope the eye appointment helps, Paula, and that the gardens benefit from our loss, Lorna. Powerplay - not one of the best IMO, but Servalan has some good lines. And the worst frock. Enjoy, everyone! "You're not sulking, I hope?"
