45th Anniversary rewatch - D6 Headhunter
trevor travis
The episode: Derek Six – Headhunter (Carry On, Don’t Your Lose Head) *
The date: Tuesday, November 7th, 2023
The time: 7.45pm UK time

* an actual Carry On film (and it featured Jacqueline Pearce!)

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
Muller’s android bellows: “WHERE IS ORRRRRRRRRRRAC!” (each mention) 3

Back to a really fun episode, which was also the inspiration to the Where’s Wally series of books. Also, Muller decides to build an android – he should have stuck to his yoghurt business, because he sets a new record in dying as a scientist.

Episode in a word: Android.
Character to cheer: Soolin really shines from this episode onwards. She’s terrific here, with her dry sense of episode, be it finding Vila hiding in a cupboard, or keeping Orac from the Muller android. Also fair play to Avon, who isn’t prepared to let Vila and Tarrant die.
Character to boo: Orac for the opposite reason to Avon – the cold-hearted lump of plastic is quite willing to sacrifice Vila and Tarrant.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes.
Recognisable Face: Lynda Bellingham (Vena) is perhaps the most famous face ever to appear in Blake’s 7 – of course, she was the Oxo Mum! (she also appeared in Doctor Who, but that’s nowhere near as impressive).
Best exchange: ORAC: “Join us, Soolin. We can fulfil your every desire.” SOOLIN: “You wouldn't know where to start.”

Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Killing Piri.”
Vote Og.

Tarrant: Avon, come down, already. The rest of us
have agreed, we'll just pay the licensing fee to the BBC.

I haven't seen this for a while. Last year it coincided with my Garden Club meeting. If I remember I used to get a bit confused about what was happening. Perhaps I will get some clarity this time around!!!😀

My lovely Daughter Sarah loved this episode. She must have watched it when it was repeated or when I got the videos...after all, she was only 2 back in 1981!!!

And Grandson loved it too

Hello everyone. Sorry you're not with us OVZ - hopefully next time!
Great pic of Brad and Paula! Thanks.

Headhunter isn't on my 'favourites' list, but perhaps it'll be different this time.

Mayor Groucho- now that's a thought, although he'd prefer master of the universe...

Why would Muller's lab have teleport shielding, when only our heroes have teleport?
