The episode: Derek Seven – Assassin (Carry On Killing Piri) The date: Tuesday, November 14th, 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 Caroline Holdaway is terrible in a scene 8 Back to the episode, and Avon comes up with a plan so bad that Blake would have been proud of it, and then he and Tarrant proceed to see which one can act more stupidly. Also, shock, horror, no scientists were harmed in the making of this episode. Or does the First Doctor count, since he dies in this episode? And ladies, get those Vems ready, because there’s a slave auction coming up which may involve a certain computer expert. But, more than anything, this is an episode that is all about our favourite female gunslinger. The episode title even makes two references to her bottom. Episode in a word: Assassin (yup an episode which does exactly what it says on the tin). Character to cheer: Soolin. Definitely Soolin. In this episode, she is looking lovely (hooray!), slaps Piri (hooray!), works out the plot (hooray!), saves Avon's life (hooray!), kills Piri (a huge HOORAY!!!) and has the last word (hooray!). Character to boo: Piri. No further explanation necessary! Is Soolin looking lovely this week: See “Character to Cheer”. Recognisable Face: Richard Hundrall (Neebrox) played the First Doctor in The Five Doctors in 1983. His casting seems to have come about after JNT saw him in this and decided he could pull off being William Hartnell. Best exchange: “TARRANT: “Domo the ninth?” VILA: “Son of Domo the Eighth, presumably.” Blake's 7 will return in “Carry Up The Quarry Yet Again.” Vote Og.

 Piri: He's dead? Avon: Don't worry, in a few minutes he'll regenerate into Patrick Troughton . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

Having now stopped laughing at the flute player with his little turban, I've just popped in to say I MAY not make it this evening. I have an appointment in Havant for 5 pm. Hopefully, it won't take long and then I can get back for the auction. Just got to find a Cashponit that dispenses Vems...I wonder if they have a machine at Southampton Airport,,,,,,,,, Cold!

Evening all!  I have an appointment in Havant for 5 pm. At least it was an appointment in Havant, not with Dr Havant. That would have been rather concerning! |

10,000 Vems to stop them singing Actually, I like the idea of Stephen Pacey joining Jethro Tull, now that Ian's vocal range has become severly limited. |

Well, the guys from Big Country even made their guitars sound like bagpipes. So Martin Barre making his guitar sound like Mark Knopfler's isn't that surprising... |

What is a Vem, anyway? Maybe we could all afford a bond servant. While the Avon ladies are all bidding against each other, I've managed to get a certain lady gunslinger, female weapons expert and female pilot for just 100 Vems. Send me 33.33 Vems and we can do a deal
