45th Anniversary rewatch - D5 Animals
trevor travis
The episode: Derek Five – Animals (Carry On Og, Saviour Of The Universe)
The date: Tuesday, October 31st, 2023
The time: 7.45pm UK time

A reminder of the Season Derek drinking game, with one special addition for this episode:

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
Avon slips up on Og poo 20

Back to the episode, and the planet Earth is under attack from the Evil Emperor Ming and only one creature can save us… Og, Saviour Of The Universe. Oh drat, what do you mean they never actually made that episode and we have to watch Animals instead?

Episode in a word: Og.
Characters to cheer: There’s only one character it can be. He’s witting, he’s charming, he’s brave, he’s dashing and he’s also a bit hairy. Og, we salute you.
Character to boo: Creepy Justin. Poor Dayna. Let’s all have a big BOO!!! for Justin.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes.
Recognisable Face: Kevin Stoney (Ardus) featured in Doctor Who as two classic villains – he was Mavic Chen in the Daleks’ Masterplan and Tobias Vaughan in The Invasion.
Best exchange: AVON: “Somebody has to go down and you are the one with the delicate touch, Vila.” TARRANT: “Magic hands. You've often said so yourself.” VILA: “Why do I get all the dirty jobs?”

Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On, Don’t Lose Your Head”.
Vote Og.

I don't like this episode. Dayna is acting out of
character and that scientist is super creepy, and..

Just a friendly note for my fellow Yankees, as Britain has ended Daylight Savings Time, and we haven't yet, this rewatch will take place an hour later than normal on the American side of the pond.

Normal times in the USA will resume next week as we end Daylight Savings Time this weekend on November 11

I was chatting to Lurena about this Rewatch and I said that I might have a convenient headache! However, perhaps I will be saved by the knocks on the door for Halloween!! I have Zombie Eyeballs to give out, care of M&S

Yes, please. I have become addicted to any violet flavored item, thanks to Clareblues all those years ago when she had Parma Violet candies on the tables at Return to Gauda Prime! Yum yum!

Hi everybody!
I dislike this episode. But then , we have the Og!
In my mind I will replace Dayna and try to have Cally in her place. After all, this episode was written for the Cally character. Maybe this works for me.

To be fair, Justin was an employee. Doesn't say much for the screening process at Tutors Are Us.

Ahhh, the gorgeous close-ups of Dayna!
I think I better pause the DVD for the next 45 minutes.

Maybe they had a "contested divorce".

I am thinking that Dayna is about 28 years old. Does that work?

Josette would have been about 20 or 21.

At least on Voice From the Past there was Avon in his black flowing shirt to pause on...
