The episode: Derek Thirteen - Blake (Carry On Dying) The date: Thursday, December 21st, 2023 The time: 7.45pm UK time A reminder of the Season Derek drinking game – no additions needed, although a stomach pump may be required after the final scene: 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 * * For clarification, this also includes when a computer member of the crew stops functioning and when a past crew member is reported dead. Meanwhile, it’s time for the Blake’s 7 Christmas Special. "IT'S CHRISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST-MAS!!!!" Lovely of jolly japes with Avon and crew, as they encounter Santa Claus and attend the wedding of Roj Blake and Jenna Stannis, and "Everyone Lives". Woo-hoo!!!! ** ** The actual contents of this episode may vary slightly. Episode in a word: Massacre. Character to cheer: Tarrant is a bit of a hero in this one – in his efforts to crash land Scorpio (especially, as we’ve found out, he skipped the Federation academy before they taught him how to land a ship). He does mess it up a bit later on, though, by not spotting that Blake was playing games. Mind you, that’s more the fault of Blake. Characters to boo: A joint award to Blake and Avon, who manage to mess things up even more than usual. Is Soolin looking lovely this week: Yes. She’s not looking so good for the final minute or so, although she escapes with a flesh wound after I lent her my cigarillo case. Recognisable Face: David Collings (Deva) has been in just about everything, including Silver in “Sapphire And Steel”, the headmaster in “Press Gang”, and a couple of roles in “Doctor Who”. Best exchange: TARRANT: “You going to tell us what we've got planned, Avon?” VILA: “We know what we've got planned. Running away is what we've got planned.” DAYNA: “A strategic withdrawal is what we've got planned.” VILA: “There's a difference?” TARRANT: “Oh, yes. A strategic withdrawal is running away... but with dignity.” VILA: “So lay in a course and let's get the dignified hell out of here.” B7 will not return… EVER! Vote Og.

Thank goodness for that! Although I remember the Xenon Base shower room being more hot and steamy. And with a spy camera next to the water jet

Just getting ready. Tea, biccies choccie (Aero mint) and tissues. I can remember back in 1981, telling Dearest that something happened to Tarrant. I managed to get my 2 daughters in bed early and sat down...... Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Mint Aero sounds good, Sue. I failed to find Prawn Cocktail Pringles at the Supermarket - sold out, perhaps! Disaster. I shall have to use my emergency supply and hope we find some somewhere else. How's John? "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hi, Hugbot and Lorna. This is the shortest, darkest day - from now on, things can only get better. (Or was that lighter?).

Oh, the episode is called Blake! I bet there will be a happy reunion. Blake will give Avon his teddy back, Avon will no longer be grumpy, all will be living happily ever after. |

Hi everyone. Settling down with some ginger wine - which has not run out, unlike the wine on Xenon. |
