The episode: Colin Four – Dawn Of The Gods (Carry On Going Baldly) The date: Tuesday, July 25th, 2023 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which Orac does something really, really, really stupid; Avon does something a bit stupid; the Lord Thaaaaaaaaaaaarn does something very stupid; and Dawn doesn't do anything stupid at all, because she's not in this episode, despite it being named after her. Get out your Space Monopoly sets and your graphite writing sticks and join in with this rewatch of this undervalued gem. Meanwhile, those of a nervous disposition are warned of just how scary the Slave Chasing Machine is. To quote the Cat, we may wish to go up to brown alert (obligatory Red Dwarf reference already taken care of.) Episode in a word: Pencil. Characters to cheer: Tarrant for his clever Bald Dwarf wordplay to stop the Caliph knowing the full nature of Orac, and Cally tricking the Lord Thaaaaaaaaaaaarn at the end. Characters to boo: Orac is a prize idiot for wanting to take a closer look at a ‘fascinating’ black hole – he’d be reduced to atoms as well. And Avon, how was a spacesuit going to insulate you from a black hole? Go and sit in the thickie corner with Orac. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Face: Terry Scully (Groff) was Vic Thatcher in the wonderful opening season of “Survivors”, who was initially left for dead in shocking style after a lie from Anne Tranter. Vic later re-appeared, confined to a wheelchair. He also played the devious Fewsham in the Doctor Who serial “The Seeds Of Death”. A very talented actor. Best line: It has to be Vila’s “I'm in hell - and it's full of Avons”, although also deserving of a mention is: “So, the Lord Thaarn escaped. I suspect we have made another enemy. A pity.” Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Captain Shad Vote Og.

The rewatch of this episode always leads to discussions about the tiny breathing holes in Vila's helmet. While they are bad enough, they are nothing compared to the breathing holes that other SF heroes had to live with, e.g. Orion engineer Hasso Sigbjörnsen (here seen trying to restore life support aboard General Lydia van Dyke's badly damaged battlecruiser Hydra):  |

Come on, people will only watch this once on the small television with their BBC aerial. No one will notice. It's not like in 45 years televisions will be large and have high definition displays and mad sad sci fi fans will STILL be watching this show on a regular basis.

Hello everyone! Just thinking back about the time I made cookies for a convention and one of the shapes was Vila's golden boot! My favorite shape was Orac though-

Hello again and thanks for setting the episode up so well for us, TT, Brad and Huggy! Hi Sue! Choc ice sounds good! One of the recent new members is called Lord Chocice - maybe you two would get along! I'm still working at my MASSIVE Toblerone - wish I could send you a hunk - got it down to about half a dozen lumps now. And good evening to everyone: not one of my favourites tonight but that won't stop me watching it! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

They are falling into a black hole. I think they might end up in the Dakkardim balloon, the private universe of the Zgmahkons, the foundes of the Council of the Seven... |
