Rewatch Australia: B10 Voice from the Past Saturday 4th June 2022, 10.30am (UK) / 7.30pm (Australia) In which Blake gets possessed, Vila is easily persuaded, and a potentially good story full of political machinations becomes a parade of dodgy accents and weird sets. At least we get to see Servalan on the big screen at Wembley Conference Centre. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Morning all. Looking forward to seeing Servalan today. Maybe not so much 'Shivan' and Le Grande, but you can't have everything.

Tuning in now after a week of headless chicken running around. Wembley Conference Centre is the star of this ep as far as I'm concerned. Good to see more of its insides on The Professionals. It reminds me of a university lecture theatre here constructed at the same time. The university theatre is still here but Wembley is not. Hello all! Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Good morning! I'm here for a change (though this is my 2nd-least-favourite ep in the entire series). How is everybody? There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

I watched this last week some time and wondered if maybe I am coming to like LeGrande. It's my fascination with her teeth that's turned me off before now. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I like it that Jenna is the one getting bored - fits with her character, I think. |

I did yoga classes when I was in my teens. Couldn't really practise at home because the dog used to come and sit on me. And I'm not - never have been - very flexible. But learning the breathing was useful, and still comes in handy when I'm at the dentist. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

Hello everyone - sorry I'm late as usual. We've actually had some nice weather the last couple of days, although it seems to have reverted to grey today. |

Good morning! I'm here for a change (though this is my 2nd-least-favourite ep in the entire series). How is everybody? Hi Travisina. Which is your least favourite? Actually, this is my 3rd-least-favourite. Least favourite is Animals, 2nd least is Moloch, so this is 3rd. One of the main reasons I don't like VftP is because it has so much wasted potential. It should have been a brilliant revisiting of 'The Way Back' as well as being a political thriller. And in the end it's a load of weird costumes and accents, and Vila being galactically stupid. There is no point being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes

No idea what to pack in my suitcase. 😬 No idea what to wear from one day to the next. I've changed my top three times so far this morning, 'cos I'm going out straight after the rewatch. Yesterday was lovely - met up with Tyce in London, and we walked for miles along and across the Thames. Today is grey, chilly, going to rain.

It could have been very dark and shocking. 'Edge of Darkness'-type thrilling. The darker the better as far as I'm concerned. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
