The episode: Derek Ten - Gold (Carry On Photocopying) The date: Tuesday, December 5th, 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/is already dead (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 There's a shot of the bottom of a certain blonde, lady gunslinger (per shot) 10 Back to the episode, and join us for a wonderful heist story, in which the crew have descended into common criminality… which was always going to happen at some point. Plus Roy Kinnear plays an old friend of Avon… so his character is obviously doomed! And there’s a mysterious ex-president in high heels… who could it be? Meanwhile, I will reward handsomely anyone who manages to get a photocopy of Soolin’s bum – I’ve got 18 billion of ‘valuable’ Xerox (as opposed to Xerok) currency to give away. Episode in a word: Criminals. Character to cheer: Soolin is so cool and wonderful in this one. Although some of that is while she’s killing innocent security guards. So maybe there’s no-one to cheer here. Character to boo: Avon for getting out-manipulated by that mysterious ex-president in high heels. I who she is? Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. Recognisable Face: Roy Kinnear was a character actor who starred in many, many films. I always remember him for his part in Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory. Best exchange: AVON: “Why pick on us?” KEILLER: “You have a ship for the getaway. And a reputation for daring.” TARRANT: “Which you heard about where?” KEILLER: “Oh, I've known Avon, long time. We're old friends...” TARRANT: “That's not what I asked.” KEILLER: “On the grapevine, my friend. You're getting to be big news.” Blake's 7 will return in “Carry On Dieting.” Vote Og.

 It's worse than that, we just risked our lives to make Servalan rich.  No, we didn't. Orac, tap into the central banking computer. Transfer all the money in Sleer's account into our group account. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

 Avon should note she's much quicker on the draw than he is, before he thinks about cheating in Space Monopoly again! Vote Og.

Unfortunately, I assume they could have done this ages ago, if Orac had the capabilities. It's another example, that apart from being a good space radio transmitter, Orac is a bit useless and not as good as Ensor or Servalan said he was! Vote Og.

Not only useless, but occasionally a proper menace!! I look behind me, what do I see? A pair of golden wings seem to be attached to me.

My apologies, again I cannot join you tonight. And last week I had become ill from the new covid booster jab. Hopefully I will be here next week. Enjoy the re-watch! *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Am I the only one who had trouble connecting a minute ago? No, I was online then was cut off. With a '505 backend fetch failed' reported. No idea what that means, but hopefully someone will know! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

If he could crack troop movements (Traitor) he could crack the banking system. The problem is, he would only do so if instructed to do so, by a crew that constantly underestimated, or forgot about, his abilities. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

While everyone is here, what does everyone make of Doctor Who after two episodes? I think its great to see the show back on form. I'm afraid not much. Throwing CGI at a story doesn't make it good. All I kept thinking was if only these effects had been around back in B7's days. And I still miss William Hartnell (yes I'm that old!) Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!
