Strange how Clearwell Caves website boasts that Dr Who was filmed there, but no mention of B7.

Beautiful Ro. Isn't he lovely? And another super costume. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

"I am not expendable, I'm not stupid and I'm not going" - possibly my fave Avon line in the entire series

Is 'fatigue shock' real thing? Why can't she just say they're knackered? Or is it a sort of PTSD? Fatigue, yes, but PTSD is how I'd diagnose it. I don't think such a thing existed in the DSM back in them days. If, indeed, the DSM existed. It's been called different things over the years. 'Shell shock' was the term in WW1. That was understood then, because the cause was understood, but the idea that people could be exposed to multiple traumas, not always associated with conflict, came along later. The DSM specifies symptoms. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Beautiful Ro. Isn't he lovely? And another super costume. These Federation costumes must have been for colonial employees because we never see them again. They're very smart. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Just once, I would like to see a sci-fi film/tv programme where mining is fully mechanized and not done by slave labour. |

The link back to the London and Pora is effective.

The others are Hostage (meh), The Keeper (okay, I like that one), Volcano (don't like that one) and Animals... say no more! There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Prior wrote for several 70's/80's TV series, I think. Plus other stuff.

Yes, I thought I had seen his name attached to episodes I didn't like that much. This is definitely the best of the lot. |

I think Animals got stuffed around by cast changes etc. and could have been better. I don't see the script as being majorly at fault. The Keeper I like and the other two aren't so bad, there are just other things that are better. I like this ep. a lot for the subject matter. Gosh, I'd love to meet Chris Boucher.

Vila sounds like an idle rich person "Work?!?" It can't be that strange a concept for someone growing up in the lower grades of the Dome. Even if he was a professional thief / pickpocket, that would have seemed like work to him - ie a way of getting the means to survive (Maslow's hierarchy begins with food, shelter, basics etc) There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Those torture frames look very like assorted sleeping platform frames seen in the mechanics souqs of Syria, where welding is done – entertainingly – with minimal protection.

We (Horizon) interviewed him years ago in his haunted room at a grotty convention hotel, with pigeons on the windowsill interrupting us.

That sounds about right. From most of Vila's comments, he enjoyed his "work" and was proud of his achievements. A good tradesman. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Interesting that Avon insists Orac is an 'it', yet he says 'we' when finding out if he can survive without the others.
