Rewatch Downunder C4 Dawn of the Gods Saturday 22nd July 2023

Personally, I don't think this is one of the 'greats'. It's a weird mix of ideas, with Orac yet again playing the villain, since Blake is nowhere to be found and Servalan has taken the week off. But I expect some of you will think it's the best episode ever. I look forward to you explaining why.

In which poor old Vila is used as the canary in the coal mine again, and Cally discovers that fairy tales aren't quite so endearing when they come to life. See you there!

Hello, is anyone there?

Hi Virn, How are you?
 
Tyce
Hi Everyone, Just to let you know I have a ring in with me today. A friend of mine from interstate is sitting with me watching the show.

We will use the code name of Vee if you want to say hi to my friend.
 
Tyce
Are we starting five minutes late as usual?
 
M1795537OCVirn
Hello Tyce, and your interstate friend. Fine here, well, it's drizzling, of course, but that's because it's July, and high summer.

Hi MsVirn, Tyce, Vee. Made it! Too busy reading answers to utterly stupid questions on Quora. Ahem, ready...
Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Their Space Monopoly isn't a patch on my 'Infiltrate!' game.

Sounds dangerous, though I always liked Kingmaker.

Naturally, Infiltrate! is slightly biased in favour of the Federation.

Hello everyone - late as usual, sorry. I was meant to be going to Edinburgh to see my mother today, but there's a rail strike, so I'm going on Tuesday instead.

Hi, yes! The poor cat has given up all hope of being stroked, and has gone off for a drink of water.

I don't doubt. Been reading a fic in which the Federation has an Assassin Core.

I don’t know, the fact only outfit I really like is Dayna’s.

My Tarrant theory is that, being ex Space Command, he expects a well-defined chain of command. Faced with the bickering, chaos and anarchy on the Liberator, he automatically takes charge himself. So yes, he thinks that he's in control - but the others (especially Avon) do not agree.
 
Tyce
Vee just said Avon doesn’t blink…. I said ‘true’.

Rail strikes, doctors' strikes, teachers' strikes - everyone is on strike.

Don't think the others have discovered where she hid the iron.

Well, I love Dayna's, and I love Avon's relaxed look and the silk, lace-up tops on Vila and Tarrant are very swash-buckling. Cally's outfit is dramatic.

Hi AA, sorry to hear you can’t see your mum today, but glad you are here with us.

So that pressure suit was conveniently lying about on the console?

It's raw silk. It's meant to look crushed.

What, Dayna's? Don't make me laugh. The BBC budget isn't up to silk, raw or otherwise. Also, I didn't say she used the iron, just that she hid it so that the others looked scruffy.

Vila looks as if he's having a fair suck of the sauce bottle. Non-Australians refer to Google.

Well, now we know where the space suits are kept.

The teachers' strike does seem a bit pointless. now that schools are's on holiday for the summer.

Sorry, but Vila and Tarrant are both wearing silk. Dayna is probably wearing linen or a linen-cotton blend. And at that time they were VERY affordable.
