Despite the grime, this Dorian chap seems awfully charming. Avon's smile shows just how charmed he is. He knows a flim-flam man when he sees one. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

The whole colour-scheme of series D - greys with coloured accents - is so very eighties. Hi AnneA! Actually, it's very depressing, which is what it's meant to be. Like the whole of Blakes 7 really - they do wonders with bleak quarries, bleak industrial plants, bleak . . . |

I do hope Tarrant can fly wanderer class planet hoppers. LOL If he can't, this will be a very short series . . . |

I'd love to know what this extruded stuff is they used as the console fascias. Very interesting stuff.

It's only been a couple of days and I'm running out of party supplies already. Yes, I'm all alone here with a dog, three cats, several sheep and the hens. Completely alone.

I've long been fascinated by Dayna's gloves in this ep. I love gloves and notice that she keeps them on. They won't stop her from getting a cold in her chest...

Xenon Base is ultra-bleak. But it has a lot of pretty plants in pots! Do we think that Soolin is responsible for them? |

So, the animals aren't the partying kind? Rats! So you see, I really need these rewatches! My only human contact... apart from several phone calls and a visit from my son who 'just happened to be passing, so he thought he'd say hello'. Honestly, you'd think they didn't trust me.

One little thing that always entertains me is the curved screens on everything. So old technology.

If anyone recognises the glasses, please let me know. They look like 1980 Habitat but... Quite a few things still to add to Vila Restal's Compendium Of Blake's 7 Barware. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I think they're more probably Woolworths. This is a show on a budget, after all. Again, the red accent is very eighties. I have a whole collection of kitchen storage jars with red lids.

Oh, before I forget, Travisina sends her love. She's still with us - just. Lots of real life going on atm, but she is managing to keep her head above water.

Just like all the VERY expensive MCM furniture. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Speaking of Woolworths, that’s probably where they picked up those glasses with the red lines on them, they were obviously cheaper by the dozen. See above. The glassware was and still is, very expensive art glass. The cheapest I've clocked is the Ravenhead Fiesta glasses used by Servalan's "powder poof" in Freedom City.

In his spare time, Dorian seems to have altered the outfit Tarrant has changed out of to make one for himself. |

Why doesn’t Dayna just stay right near the entrance, and as soon as Tarrant opens the entrance, she could duck out?? Am I being picky tonight? |
