UK Rewatch - B6 Trial
trevor travis
Been ridiculously busy the last few weeks, after the return of Oxford Speedway, for which I am editing the programme. Therefore, adding some in these in advance while I have a moment...

The episode: Barney Six – Trial (Carry On Philosophical Flea)
The date: Tuesday, May 10th, 2022
The time: 7.45pm UK time

In which Blake throws a big sulk over Gan’s death and teleports down to the Planet Of Spit, where he makes friends with a Philosophical Flea. Meanwhile, Travis is in trouble. A lot of trouble. Servie has it in for him, after the previous episode. Can he escape execution? Brian Croucher still has a few episodes left on his contract, so he’s probably going to be alright.

Episode in a word: Self-pity.
Characters to cheer: Trooper Par seems a thoroughly decent guy – it’s nice to see below the helmet of a Federation Guard for once. And I know Travis is a mass murderer, and twice over it would seem (since this episode changes the name of Auros to Zircaster, suggesting there were TWO massacres that Travis is responsible for). But is he simply the product of a very broken system and just doing his job? He certainly puts up a very good justification for it, in a rousing speech. Kudos to Brian Croucher, who often doesn’t get the praise he deserves for his performance here.
Character to boo: Yes, Blake you really should be gone for a bit of a sulk in your cabin instead of teleporting down to the Planet Of Spit, and it does come across that you are trying to manipulate the crew back on your side, after YOU caused the death of Gan with your recklessness. The previous episode and this episode represent the worst of Roj Blake. Thank goodness we see a different side in the next episode.
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Recognisable Face: John Bryans (Bercol) is yet another actor to appear in “Doctor Who”. He was Torvin, the leader of a bunch of thieves in “The Creature From The Pit” - if you recall that’s the one with... the Creature and... the Pit. Of course, he also appears again in B7 as Shrinker, a rather different role from Bercol, although still one of the Feds.
Best line: “Avon’s gadget works!”

Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Space Michelin Men.

Vote Og.

As Libby's crew plays "Wait and See,"
And Travis considers his plea.
Bercol and Rontane think he's gone insane.
While Blake dates a sentient Flea.

It's a calling card of Chris Boucher. He does it in several episodes.

A psychotic like Travis, who knows what he's thinking.

Cut to Blake in a bad mood.

Does this mean that Travis is an Alpha? I assume so.

He's a good officer, or so he says, and a good officer anticipates orders.

I was thinking something similar. Just shows what a great actor he was.

I'm (in)famous on Horizon for my admiration of Jenna, but I have to say that Jan looks good in that green leather, and I don't even like green.
