UK Rewatch - B9 Countdown
trevor travis
The episode: Barney Nine - Countdown (Carry On Ginger Mercenary) *
The date: Tuesday, May 31st, 2022
The time: 7.45pm UK time

Sadly, Richard Whiteley and Carol Vorderperson don’t appear, but instead the Ginger Mercenary does – I think Paula might like him. This week, we find out another way that the Federation keeps control, despite only having a handful of personnel on a planet. And poor Jenna and Cally are on Libby reception - again!

Episode in a word: Grant.
Character to cheer: The Ginger Mercenary, who seems to have liberated more planets than Blake (which isn’t that hard, to be honest).
Character to boo: Vila is a bit thick for a second successive week. Opening the shuttle doors was stupid. Forgetting the corridor number could have been fatal to Blake. Staying alive definitely seems too complicated for Vila this week (to paraphase Avon from “Blake”).
Is Soolin looking lovely this week?: Yes.
Recognisable Face / Hair: Tom Chadbon (Grant) was Duggan in the classic Doctor Who serial “City Of Death”, which was filmed around six months after this. He was also in an episode of Out Of The Unknown, in which his moustache definitely looked ginger, but don’t tell Paula I said that, or she’ll chase me around with a Welsh Street Sign next time she sees me. Chadbon was also in Casino Royale for 18 seconds or something like that and in various episodes of “Casualty” for a bit longer. He appeared naked in something in the 70s, but you’ll have to ask Paula about that one!
Best exchange: “VILA: “Allow me. You see - the old magic's still there.” AVON: “The old ego, too.”

Blake's 7 will return in… Carry On Being Stupid

* The wearing of Ginger Wigs is optional for this rewatch.
Vote Og.

His appearances are rather scant,
Yet you've probably heard of Del Grant.
But if you need a treatise, just come out and meet us,
And hearken my better half's rant.

Good evening rebels and mercenaries all. Cutting it a bit late this week, are you perhaps? Before we start, let it be known that Del Grant is NOT ginger, although he is a great character.

I am here for this week's rewatch. Paul Shelley aka Provine is in the current series of Secret Army being shown on Talking Pictures. It doesn't end well for him there either...

Is this the ep with Blake's funny line "more like a nightmare"?

Greetings, all.

Let's watch a professional liberate a planet in 50 minutes (with Avon's help).

10-4

Another funny line, "If anything happens to Avon, I'll come looking for you."

Well, Grant thinks it's funny, watch him smirk.

Possibly, but more likely a stunt Grant

Wasn't it originally in the script that Provine killed Selson?

Not the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch one? Sad

Provine is a rather good villain. A pity he gets killed off - it would have been entertaining to see him and Travis both hunting Blake.

Ahem...
GRANT: And when you've done that, get this place cleaned up, get a casualty report, and get some Federation prisoners for questioning.
RALLI: And while I'm doing all that, what are you going to do?
*No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*
