The episode: Barney Two - Shadow (Carry On Space Mafia) The date: Tuesday, April 12th, 2022 The time: 7.45pm UK time In which there’s so much going on in a terrific episode. The major two plot strands are Blake finding himself on the wrong side of morality and not giving a jot about it; and a malign influence taking over Orac. While this is going on, Vila has the thrill and hangover of a lifetime, and will be lucky to finish the episode with his teeth intact and not part of a necklace. Episode in a word: Moon-discs! Characters to cheer: Gan, for showing that he has a conscious and there are levels he would prefer not to stoop to, such as getting caught up with the Space Mafia. Of course, Blake dismisses his arguments and pushes on regardless. In some ways, it’s a precursor of what happens again in three episodes’ time, this time with tragic consequences. Oh, and also Cally, for regaining much of her original spirit here – especially when she holds Space City to ransom to free the others. It’s great to see these two characters given something a bit more meaty to do, at last. Bravo Chris Boucher! Character to boo: Sorry, Vila, while I think you’re terrific, this is not your finest hour – the blame for Hanna’s death lays firmly at your door. Avon/Cally ‘Shipping Alert: “Whose is this?” demands Avon. He stops in his tracks when he finds out the Moon Disc belongs to Cally. Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes. Recognisable Face: Karl Howman (Bek) played Jacko the painter, the lead character in the 1980s sitcom Brush Strokes. It was actually a pretty decent comedy, although it went on for a few series too long. Best exchange: Lots of brilliant dialogue in this one, but it’s impossible to ignore: VILA: “Where are all the good guys?” BLAKE: “You could be looking at them.” AVON: “What a very depressing thought.” Blake's 7 will return… Carry on Mister Smooth Vote Og.

Blake thinks help is there for the buying, But Jenna says Largo is lying, Though Cally Tsk Tsks, she gets a moon disc, While mushrooms and eyeballs are frying. . .  Cockatoo? What Cockatoo? I don't see a Cockatoo! |

I wonder what happened to Bek and Hanna's parents ( if they had any), because how come a brother and sister get addicted to that drug?

Interesting narrative to show how bad the Terra Nostra is and then cut to 'our hero Blake' talking about making a deal with them because Earth is all he's interested in.

No, I'm not familiar with those, but I am familiar with those (I think Japanese) "dream bouncing balls" with an image in it that changed while bouncing. *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*

Love Michael Keating's eyebrow make up in the scene where he is so disappointed because he has to stay on the Liberator.

Blake refers to Largo as Jenna's friend right after Jenna states 'he's no friend of mine.' Blake going out of his way to aggravate Vila Blake thinking he could strike a deal with the Terra Nostra that they would honor. In other words, Blake being Blake. . . Cockatoo? What Cockatoo?
