UK Rewatch - B12 The Keeper
trevor travis
The episode: Barney Twelve – The Keeper (Carry On Space Camping)
The date: Tuesday, June 18th, 2024
The time: 7.45pm UK time

In which someone actually notices that Jenna is a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, it’s the head of the local Rent-A-Tribe from the tents of Goth (I assume the caravans of Goth would have cost too much). Meanwhile, the search for Star One continues, Vila gets to play the fool, the S-shaped tree appears (which is still there and still instantly recognisable), and Avon and Cally have a major lovers tiff.

Episode in a word: Intense (since In Tents would be two words).
Characters to cheer: Gola* is rather wonderful, with Bruce Purchase ideal casting for this somewhat larger-than-life role. And, for once, Travis is one step ahead of Servie, rather than the other way around.
Character to boo: Cally, for stopping Avon from shooting down Servalan’s ship, which happened to contain Travis. That would have saved a whole load of hassle in the next episode.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Recognisable Face: Not long before this, Bruce Purchase (Gola) was the Pirate Captain in the Doctor Who serial “The Pirate Planet”. He even had a Robot Space Parrot. I kid you not.
Best line: “I may not kill you after all. A lifetime with Gola would be very educational for you.” Just beats: “Don't leave me here, at least leave me a torch. I don't like the dark. I like to see what I'm scared of.”

Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Space Pizza Monsters

Vote Og.

This is the one episode that I missed first time round as I was in Hospital after having Daughter number 2. Back in those days there weren't any TVs on the wards and we didn't have a video recorder...but I've caught up now...several times!!!!
Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold!
Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!!

Sounds like OVZ's knee is getting better, if he's up to going bowling! Hope he has a good time.
Hello, Sue and anyone else who's logged in since I started typing. Hope you're having a good day. The Keeper isn't one of my favourites, but it's fun (if a bit laboured) and Servalan gets some grapes as well as some great lines. So - let's go !

Why does it take so long for Libby to get in firing range of Travis' ship? It's less than a half a planet away.

And why is lbby out of teleport range when Travis's ship is also in orbit around the same planet?

TT, you got a lot of explaining to do later.

Bruce Purchase, for when you can't quite afford Brian Blessed, or already used him.

Those tents seem like the tardis. Bigger on the inside.

The BBC budget ran to Goths, but not to Visis.....

Set design and props did themselves proud in the Goth's tents scenes. Now if only they'd have spent so much effort on those fighting spikes which bend at every move because they are foam rubber...
