45th Anniversary rewatch - D3 Traitor
trevor travis
The episode: Derek Three – Traitor (Carry On Trooper Orac)
The date: Tuesday, October 17th, 2023
The time: 7.45pm UK time

A reminder of Season Derek drinking game:

Here’s the number of sips/swigs per each of these:
Avon is knocked unconscious 1
A scientist dies (per scientist) 5
A member of the main cast wears the same costume as last week (per costume) 2
There’s the sequence (or part of the sequence) of Scorpio landing / taking off at Xenon Base 3
Vila drinks something red (per scene) 10
Tarrant falls in love 5
Soolin shoots someone (per person) 5
Slave says “sorry” (each mention) 1
Each mention of “Sleer” 2
Avon laughs manically and/or smiles inappropriately 5
There’s a downbeat ending in sharp contrast to the jangly end theme 10
The final shot of the episode includes Paul Darrow 3
A member of the main cast is killed or stunned (per cast member) 1 bottle of wine / 1 can of beer

Back to Traitor, and we have a big mystery folks. Someone is going around in outrageous clothing like Servie used to wear, destroying portraits of Servie, and speaking in a deep, husky version of Servie’s voice. Just who could it be?

Also, the Liberator wardrobe was clearly made of herculanium, survived in one piece, and landed on Helotrix. Oh, and we have a rebellion going on in the episode – although it’s not Avon’s lot, of course. After all, he’s already saved Teal and Vandor in “Death-Watch”, placing him ahead of Blake in number of planets saved. Talking of keeping score, anyone notice that Gunn Sar (in the last episode) and Servie (in this episode - whoops, apologies for that spoiler!!) both claim 26 kills – proof that he would have been her perfect man. He could have even done the embroidery on her dresses.

Episode in a word: Suppressants.
Characters to cheer: Pretty much any of the supporting characters, especially the Federation officers. A combination of the superb writing of Robert Holmes and some top-notch acting from the guest cast.
Character to boo: Trooper Orac shows once again, while he might be able to take over other computers, he’s also a bit thick.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Oui.
Recognisable Face: Christopher Neame (Colonel Quute) was Skagra, the lead baddie in the 1979 Doctor Who serial “Shada”. Sadly, for Neame and the rest of the cast, a strike might the serial was never completed. But it’s seen plenty the light of day in many forms over the years.
Best exchange: VILA: “Blake would have been proud of you, you know.” AVON: “I know, but then he never was very bright.”

Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Space Petrol Heads.”
Vote Og.

Col. Quute: Why is it so dark in here?
Tracer: Sir, you have your eyepatch over the wrong eye again.

Good evening, rebels. Just to let you know that I have been resupplied with pink Pringles, despite someone trying to buy out the co-op's stock. I think I can guess who that someone might be.
Hi, Lorna, OVZ, Sue ! Yep certainly a bit chillier here than it was last week.

Except that when we go to deep space mode, we appear to be flying backwards.

A mediocre episode, in my humble opinion, but a great opening and a great finish.
