I love this show, but I'll say it again: why isn't the force wall accessible from more than one panel? It's cool to watch Avon do that little running leap but this is a design flaw. Also, there are two teleports and everyone forgets about the second one after they left Cygnus Alpha.


It does seem odd that it's not included with the other controls. Complain to these babes.

How anyone could thinks Avon's costume is black, not blue, I don't know. Seen against the black of the seats it is quite definitely blue.


They're exploring shades of grey again. Avon's is a sort of blueish slate, not unlikke the Brathay slate quarried just up the road from where I am.

Seen on eBay some models of the Liberator all of which are in the U.K.
Ones seen are pricy & by the time u convert the price exchange rate plus add the postage it costly. But I'm determined to get one.


I have bought things on ebay from Australia before now. As you say, it's pricy, but it is fairly easy to do.

Have me these to make some "Redemption" earrings in my 'Forever Avon range. Got to do some work on them to make them nice.

Awesome.

I gather they were handy for Gareth's pipe and the odd bottle of Scotch.

Yes, it's that deep blue seen also in the basalt referred to as 'Bluestone'. Later, when Avon is with Jenna, who is wearing black, it's blindingly obvious that it's blue.

Thanks. I hope to do them soon, but there's some careful drilling to do. Often the original drilling is bad and has to be fiddled with.

The women on the space station remind me of that weird photo of Donald Trump and, I think, some Saudi dignitaries, with their hands on a glowing dome like that.

How come they don't have visual surveillance of other parts of the ship?

Google Donald Trump glowing orb, and you'll get lots of pictures.

There ought to be a rule that in all TV drama, someone, somewhere MUST use the episode title in something they say.
Blake muttering 'redemption' would just about count. Better if someone else had picked up on it.

And Sayid el-Sissi from Egypt would look pretty bad even in a black bodysuit.

I find it interesting because, while it means exactly what's happening, "redemption" doesn't seem the obvious word: "reclamation" maybe, but "redemption" carries other connotations that I think led to its use in this context.

But even the BBC must have had a spare TV camera and screen - it would not have been difficult to do.

For sure, but I don't think Uncle Terry had imagined that sort of surveillance.

In all the series I've never taken great deal notice of who's wearing what. Just the Liberator is what my attention was focused on.

I have an 'Orbit' design which I'm working on that is similar, but I DO need a Redemption necklace. Thanks for the idea!

I love the sky in the 'window' because it is so obviously painted paper or card with holes in it. Makes me feel all warm towards the program.

I wonder who in flies these ships. The Altas don't look like they would need a great wardrobe of clothes, for example. Was there a more 'normal' cadre of pilots, or did they collect the clothes as examples of other civilisations?
 
M1795537OCVirn
The Altas had remote visuals, despite Uncle Terry's lack of imagination!
Despite being some of the most boring aliens ever. Not a tentacle among them.
