Rewatch Downunder Saturday 27th April B4 Horizon
M1795537OCVirn
Summer start times - Downunder 7.30pm (AEST) UK 10.30am (BST)

B4 Horizon
Narrowly avoiding any 'what was before horizon' comments*, let's plunge straight in and state that this week's costumes are some of the best in B7.
Horizon - in which Blake's curiosity gets everyone in big trouble yet again. Cally later succeeds where Blake's 'persuasion' fails and Avon saves the day by proving that a good blaster beats a blowpipe in a fair fight (ie. one where you notice the blowpipe in time).
Question: if monopasium 239 is so radioactive, did our heroes remember to take the decontaminant pills afterwards?

The defacto Swedes are here and ready to go!!

Even found the episode on Daily Motion this week. Thanks Virn. Not sure how I’ll go with it though because I’m only watching it on my mobile phone and having to switch between there and here to comment.
 
Tyce
You know the news - does anyone know if cheap but safe combination in London for a fortnight?

Hi Pilot53. You’re not really late, nobody else is here yet…..

By the way..
I recently bought a box set of DVDs from a Sci fi series called Far Scape.
Some of the episodes are very similar to ones on B7.
One in particular is very much alike to Duel.
Other is like one where Callys home planet & her sister were infected by a virus.

Hello, Tyce and Pilot. Well done with the Swedish B7, Tyce. Sorry I'm later than usual - husband trying to distract me by having a nosebleed. HE's OK, tucked up by the fire (yes, it's STILL cold) with a brew, tissues and a nose peg. So - how are you both?

Interesting, I’ve never seen Farscape.

Some people will do anything for attention. LOL

I’m good - had a bit of sore throat for the last couple of days, but it’s coming right now

Get him lean slightly forward & pinch the top part of his nostrils for 10mins
That should stop the bleeding.

M1795537OCVirn

Love the idea of Avon with a bad back. I wonder if he really did have one when they were filming?!

He's been known to go on for half an hour, easy. We're used to it. Been packed, cauterised etc etc. He just has a duff nose. I DID NOT HIT HIM. He made the apparently terminal mistake of blowing his nose, that's all.

Grovelling is good for you rebels.

No need to apologise. I'll try to avoid spoilers for you.

Blake evidently didn't learn the saying about curiosity and cats.

Orac gave a reason as to why Gan isn’t the ideal pupil. Perhaps Gan should tell Orac why Orac isn’t the ideal teacher. LOL

Hardly. Nothing to get excited about there. I do like the dark red uniforms, though. I think they must have been specially designed by/for the Commissar since we never see them on any other Feds.

Hello everyone. Sorry that I'm late - I thought I was in good time, but wasn't, and put the wrong DVD in by mistake. It's still horribly cold here - and intermittently rainy.

I've seen some of Farscape, Pilot - I think it is acknowledged that Blake's 7 was a big influence.
 
Tyce
Good thing Cally wasn’t affected and therefore able to treat Villa.

Yes, I agree, and the "natives" are beautifully dressed.

Hi Tyce. About your earlier question, sorry, I don't know anywhere in London off the top of my head. I stay in a hotel I stayed in years ago for a conference. It's central and reasonable value. Any Airbnbs? Where are you staying in Steventon?

The roofs of the houses opposite were quite white with frost yesterday morning, and there was hail just outside York yesterday afternoon. The plants in my garden have slowed their growth. I wish that spring would hurry up and arrive!

Hi AA. If it's warm here it's got to be horrid over there.We're beyond ANZAC Day and that's usually our date for the weather to change.

I’ve booked Premier Inn for 2 nights in Steventon. The 8th and 9th June.
