Rewatch Downunder Saturday 30th November D9 Sand
M1795537OCVirn
Servalan is SO good at these put-downs. One might almost think she'd had occasion to use them herself. Best one I heard IRL was my friend Ros, when we were 17 and being bugged by some teenage boys sitting behind us in the cinema - "Will you two assified worms go and evaporate!"
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

Apart from anything else about this episode, the green and the sand are very well done.

Hello, how are you all? I have a late note. ;-)


Let's see it, then!
Glad you made it. But have you signed up for the Advent calendar? Some retrospectives of Tycecon wojuld be nice!

Sure have signed up. But having a look at it right now, it looks like I’m gonna have to have a think if I can come up with another entry.

Obsidian, I don’t suppose you’ve come up with a date yet for Tyce Con 2


Last weekend of Feb or first weekend of March. Take your pick. I'm trying to squash a few things around those dates.

Okay, how about 2, 3 and 4 March then?

Good one! That might happen here too.

Why do her crew have weird lumps on their shoulders?


Because Nicholas Rocker liked using them.


Because it was the eighties, and shoulders were big?


Only very early 80s. Shoulders weren't big yet. And I was/am a sewer and have the Vogue patterns (and sewing experience) to prove the shift to big shoulders. Maybe Nicky Rocker led the trend. Smile


I certainly remember shoulderpads being an expected and integral part of the jacket of the 'interview suit' I bought in 1983, but this is a couple of years earlier. Rocker probably was ahead of the trend.

I think he was. By 1983-4 they were on the way in, big time. I still have all my pattern books, sewing/knitting from the time and they were becoming more popular. By 85-86 they were the thing.

Oh yes, and are there any cast or crew who might wish to zoom in? We still don’t know when Sally (and possibly Jan) are going to be in Australia but you never know we may be lucky enough to coincide with their Australian visit.

Agree the cookies were awesome. Many thanks to Obsidian.

Something happened here. Apologies.

Maybe we could do a drive-by on the way to Tyce-Con Central. The paddock to the west of Black Mountain always has some.

That probability square has water at least twice. Also, how do you get the right facts, conclusions etc printed out in 3-D to order for your particular conundrum, if you're not sure what they are yet?

Minor detail. Maybe a logorithmic scale that has already rejected anything not there.

Basic/generic components, yes, but the details are what matter. Besides, they didn't have 3-D printers in the 80's.

The probability square is the weak spot of this episode - however it works, it just seems silly. And we never see Avon consulting it again.
